About Identity Technology Review
Identity Technology Review examines biometrics, cybersecurity and the technology organisations use to establish who can access a service. The publication helps readers turn unfamiliar terminology and broad supplier claims into concrete questions for further investigation.
Understanding identity systems
Our biometrics guides distinguish identification from verification and explore the questions surrounding accuracy, accessibility and personal information. A measurement quoted in a demonstration does not necessarily describe performance across every population or operating environment.
Cybersecurity coverage looks at authentication, account recovery and the controls surrounding sensitive access. We explain concepts without asking readers to submit credentials, test a system without permission or disclose information that could compromise an account.
Business technology guides consider onboarding, integration and supplier evaluation. Different organisations have different requirements, so a comparison should start with the problem being addressed and the evidence available for a proposed solution.
Evidence before conclusions
Documentation, standards and independent research can each illuminate a different part of an identity system. We aim to identify the scope and date of a source and distinguish a supplier’s description from an independently demonstrated result.
The material is educational and cannot replace an assessment of a particular deployment. Decisions involving security architecture, privacy obligations or contractual commitments may require appropriately qualified specialists with access to the relevant circumstances.
Publication identity
This website is independent of the former Xydus business, its products, employees and successors. It does not provide that company’s services, accept support requests on its behalf or offer identity verification to readers.
