Authentication Architectures for Smartphones

I wanted to alert readers to an interesting discussion on the design and architecture considerations for voice authentication on smartphones in a LinkedIn community group focused on voice biometrics. Valene Skerpac, president of iBiometrics, has outlined several questions about the technology for smartphones including: Where should voice verification signal processing – matching – decision processing be performed? And should all the voice verification processing be performed centrally like all other telephony voice verification?

Given the explosive growth in smartphone adoption and related uptake in mobile banking, developing and defining the authentication architecture that will prevail on handsets is a process yet to be determined. Join the discussion on LinkedIn here.
