Why is facial recognition typically less accurate than iris? What is the NIST framework for measuring the strength of biometric authentication? What is the attack model? What is multi-modal biometric authentication? Why is its adoption growing? Is it better to store biometric information on your personal mobile or device, or a centralized server? What does the FIDO Alliance recommend?
