The potential synergies between consumer handheld devices, particularly smartphones and biometric technologies is outlines. The practicalities and challenges for three such technologies - fingerprint, iris and palmprint - are presented. The use of biometrics for personal authentication is discussed, including the use of zero knowledge proof techniques to ensure that the biometric data does not leave the phone. The scope for data theft and breach through spoofing of the original biometric are discussed. Finally the potential impact of this technology synergy on personal privacy is considered.

In this paper, we investigate possible positive and negative consequences of the Internet of Things (IoT), characterized as the scenario in which computing-like technological devices and people can interact and exchange data without the need for deliberate human-to-human interaction, in social practices involving trust. Without denying the positive consequences of IoT, our interest is to discuss the following question: Might the rapid development of artificial autonomous systems, in the context of IoT, undermine the common sense notion of mutual trust? This question will be investigated using the concept of technological affordance, which extends the concept of affordance, according to which organisms directly perceive action opportunities (or affordances) in the environments in which they live because of their co-evolutionary long-term history. We consider that agent/environment interaction processes are predominantly self-organized, with organisms adjusting their actions in the world mainly through learning processes, without any omnipotent central controller. In the case of humans, collective social relationships involving mutual trust seem to result from direct self-organized interactions among members of social groups. Such direct collective interactions generate long-term social habits involving mutual trust that play a central role in human social identity. Nowadays, however, a great part of social interaction is mediated by technologies such as IoT. In this context, possible consequences of such indirect interactions are investigated, focusing on the hypothesis that significant changes in the sense of trust that supports human actions might be expected.
