SAINT LOUIS, MO (PRWEB) June 8, 2003 - Biometric Bytes is a free monthly newsletter reporting on biometric identification technology. The newsletter is a service of The Biometric Digest, one of the Top 10 Most Visited Biometric Sites in the World. The newsletter is distributed monthly. Publisher, Bill Rogers, stated, "The Biometric Bytes Newsletter" is a supplement to our paid monthly newsletter, "Biometric Digest" and our weekly news reports, "Biometric Media Weekly." We have also just introduced our "Biometric Information Directory," now available on-line.

Biometrics uses fingerprint, iris, voice, face, hand geometry and other characteristics to provide positive identification of individuals. Biometrics is playing an important role in Homeland Security and is being used by airports, state and federal government agencies, hospitals, banks and credit unions, daycare centers, schools, building access, computer access, and many other applications. The industry is projected to grow from $600 million in 2002 to $4 billion by 2007, driven in part by a projected growth in spending by the new Department of Homeland Security.
