Abstract
This further contribution enables us to expand on developments in
biometrics within the Argentine public administration system.
Having described the functions of the National Register of Repeat
Offenders in the previous paper, there is no need to analyse those
functions again in any great detail, allowing us to concentrate on related
aspects of biometrics in present-day Argentina.
We will therefore conduct a comprehensive analysis of the economic,
political and social factors that shaped the biometric model, and the
relationship between that model and current government policy.
We also considered it appropriate to highlight the role of information and
communications technology in choosing the right paradigm as an empirical
base for an analysis of the current state of biometrics, and its importance
as a policy tool for social inclusion rather than simply for identification
purposes.
The development of IT infrastructures, and advances in digital storage
methods, have provided an opportunity to rethink administrative models
and assign new functions to existing biometric identification systems.
In line with this, we have outlined two developments which will allow
the interoperability of public biometric databases to be coordinated
so as to design security policies that achieve maximum performance of
government functions.
