biometrics at the edge

Edge computing is defined as the storage and processing of data by resources deployed in closer proximity to the end-user or data collection point, rather than a distant data center or cloud. This proximity can be used in latency-reducing architectures, and could also have privacy, regulatory, and cost benefits. Many predicted growth areas for biometrics and edge computing overlap, including smart cities and the internet of things (IoT).
