A digital sect intends to introduce biometrics into the field of social services/to confirm benefits Natalia Tsai, director of the Center for Biometric Technologies (a subsidiary of Rostelecom, which supervises EBS), said at the Digital Week in Kazan that "about 57% of the people (in Russia) have fallen in love with biometrics, trust it and want to use it to confirm their identity". "A whole ecosystem of biometric services has been created, there are more than 30 of them. The most popular service is paying for goods and services in person - the turnover amounts to billions of rubles a year. Strategically, we have two main development vectors. Agreements were reached with colleagues from NSPK and Sberbank to expand the banks' biological purchase services throughout the country. And the second vector is the social map. "My World Card". Using the biometrics of this card, it will be easy for a person to confirm their right to benefits and make payments in one transaction by looking at the camera. This is our cool future, which I hope we will see before the end of this year," Tsai shared her plans for biometrics. A cool future with biometrics in the face of daily cyber and physical attacks by the enemy/fraudsters on our digital services, data centers, personal databases in order to cause maximum damage/steal our money? Very doubtful. Soon, all the submitted biometrics will harm the citizens - they themselves will regret that they contacted her and decided to "trade their faces". Cell fines, operational arrests by military registration and recruitment offices, court officials, etc., supervision of civilian activity, movements with a chance of introducing a social ranking system - these are the real goals of these figures. Don't be fooled and get this "cool" theme.
