A biometrics podcast and knowledge hub for Product leaders.
I interview researchers and practitioners in the biometrics space and publish blogs to share their knowledge and rich experiences with the biometrics community. Guests speak on a variety of biometrics topics, including but not limited to biometric modalities, template protection, ethics, privacy, and user experience.
In this episode, I spoke with Robertino Matausch, the creator and Chief Executive Officer of Cardioid, a startup that utilizes ECG-based identity verification. Robertino has been a prominent figure in the field of cybersecurity for over 30 years, serving clients such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), Formula 1 (BMW.Williams.F1, Torro Rosso, Red Bull, FIA), HP, Microsoft, BMW, and AUDI.
By the end of the episode, listeners will gain knowledge on the following topics:
- What is ECG-biometrics, and how does it differ from measuring the heartbeat
- Why ECG is a significantly more secure and unique form of biometrics compared to face recognition
- The current market landscape for ECG-biometrics
- Various use cases for ECG-biometrics
- The origin story behind Cardioid's founding
- And other related subjects
If interested, please contact Robertino to arrange a brief demonstration of their state-of-the-art identity verification system utilizing ECG biometrics.

Biometrics Standards 101
For this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting biometrics expert John Splain to share his valuable insights and experiences regarding biometric standards. John is a well-respected member of the biometric and forensic standards development community with over a decade of experience in developing and adopting standards. He has served as the Deputy Editor of ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 and NIST Special Publication 500-290 Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial & Other Biometric Information. Additionally, John is the inaugural chair of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) Standards Board (ASB) Friction Ridge Consensus Body.
In this episode, we covered various topics related to biometrics, such as understanding biometric standards, the different types of standards, and their variances. We also delved into how standards aid product teams in creating superior and more secure products. Additionally, we discussed how product teams ensure their biometric products comply with specific standards. Moreover, we explored ways to stay updated on the latest biometric developments and touched on recommended conferences that focus on biometric-centric discussions.
