The Core Idea

Social biometrics relies on identifying individuals based on their unique social characteristics and patterns of interaction with the social environment.

This innovative branch of biometrics analyzes distinctive social attributes and behavioral patterns, including social networks, communication patterns, and social connections. Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in detecting, analyzing, and classifying these social patterns, creating identification systems based on social identity and how individuals interact with other people and the digital world.

Time Spent on Social Networks

Interests and content are key elements.

The structure of social networks and connections is also a vital factor in understanding individual behavior.
