Professor Ray Co-Authors U.S. Biometric Systems Privacy Primer

Leon M. and Gloria Plevin Professor of Law and Associate Dean Brian Ray co-authored the U.S. Biometric Systems Privacy Primer recently published by the Sedona Conference Journal.

Prof. Ray chaired the Primer drafting group, a national group of experts on biometric privacy. The Primer provides a general introduction to biometric systems and a summary of existing U.S. laws regulating the collection, use, and sharing of the biometric information these technologies collect.

The Primer is written as a resource for lawyers, judges, legislators, and other policymakers. It provides a general guide to the relationships among the technical, legal, and policy aspects of biometric systems – with a particular focus on privacy and related concerns these systems may raise.
