Smartphone Report Released

Reconnaissance International is pleased to announce the release of its new one-of-a kind publication – ‘Smartphones for Authentication’

Smartphones are revolutionising the world of authentication, thanks to their ubiquity, connectivity, and computing power. As a result, they have given over 80% of the world’s population (ie. those people currently owning smartphones) the power, not previously available to them, to read barcodes and validate security features, including holograms.

Smartphones are thus accelerating the move towards more standardised holographic authentication methods and are giving rise to technologies that simply didn’t exist before.

These technologies are based on the various embedded attributes of smartphones, including light sources, display screen attributes, biometric capabilities, fingerprint sensors, connectivity, and camera systems.

The current and potential role of these technologies are covered at length in the new report, along with any drawbacks as far as the holographic authentication sector is concerned.
