Integrating Biometric Security into Digital Payment Solutions: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

 Biometric security has emerged as a transformative technology in the digital payment sector, offering enhanced security, convenience, and personalization. This research paper explores the integration of biometric systems into digital payment solutions, providing a comprehensive analysis of the opportunities and challenges involved. It examines the underlying technologies, the advantages of biometric authentication, and the critical obstacles, including privacy concerns, system vulnerabilities, and implementation complexities. Experimental studies are conducted to evaluate the efficacy of biometric methods such as fingerprint scanning, facial recognition, and voice recognition in secure transactions. Results indicate significant improvements in authentication accuracy and user experience but also highlight vulnerabilities to spoofing and data breaches. This paper concludes with a discussion on future directions, emphasizing the need for regulatory frameworks and technological advancements to address the challenges and maximize the potential of biometric security in digital payments.
