There’s always been something maddeningly elusive about biometrics. The very idea of identifying human beings with unique characteristics makes so much sense — it seems like a natural progression of every feature of modern life, from the tools of convenience we use every day to ensuring our security at every level.

Biometrics solutions build on human characteristics that are much harder to replicate than any equivalent, such as cards and passwords (which are, let’s face it, increasingly difficult to remember). Biometrics is futuristic, irresistible and just plain cool. Yet for most of us, the future hasn’t gotten any closer.

While biometrics are becoming a ubiquitous component of securing consumer data on mobile and other digital devices, there is no industry standard in place to protect that data once it leaves the device and enters the cloud. Today, Hoyos Labs announced the formalization of its Biometric Open Standards Protocols (BOPS).

BOPS comprises a set of rules that govern secure communications among a variety of client devices including mobile phones, desktop computers and ATMs, among others, and a trusted server managing the acquisition and manipulation of biometric data captured by those devices.

A new study estimates that by 2018 an almost-unbelievable 3.4 billion users will have biometric features on their mobile devices, according to Goode Intelligence.

The report, Mobile Biometric Security – Market Forecast Report 2013 – 2018, said that by 2017, there will be over 990 million mobile devices, including smartphones, phablets and tablets, with fingerprint sensors.

Eventually other biometric modalities will be as important as fingerprint sensors on mobile devices, including voice and facial recognition, and eye and behavioral modalities, according to the report.
