features are unobtrusive, difficult to conceal and perceivable at a distance. It is easily observable and it is difficult to disguise therefore using gait as a biometric feature has a great potential for human identification in public places for security. A unique advantage of gait as a biometric is that it offers potential for recognition at a distance or at low resolution or when other biometrics might not be…

This policy is mandated as part of the PCI…
