Биометрия в России все активнее регулируется в последние годы. Федеральный закон № 572-ФЗ от 2023 года диктует новые правила.

А еще появились коммерческие биометрические системы (КБС) — с их помощью компании могут «арендовать» биометрические векторы из ЕБС для реализации своих сценариев аутентификации.Привет!
