Using Voice Printing For Authentication Purposes – Takeaways From The Rogers Decision

Faced with ever-increasing risks of fraud, a growing number of organisations, including banks and telecom companies, are considering implementing voice-printing technologies to authenticate their customers. A voiceprint is a digital model of an individual's unique vocal characteristics and is considered biometric data. As such, it can be used as an " audible fingerprint" to identify or authenticate a person, using a biometric analysis. Contrary to passwords and traditional identifiers, which are increasingly subject to data breaches and hence available to threat actors, voice printing technologies rely on biometric information which are by nature unique to an individual and can hence provide an enhanced level of security.
