PERALTA CASTELLANO, Juan Carlos. Nine years of Biometrics in Peru: The Fate of Identification at the crossroads. Rev. IUS [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.36, pp.275-301. ISSN 1870-2147.

The investigation of this research paper analyses multidisciplinary biometric identification systems and their role in the identification of persons examining both principles and scientific origin, with their qualities and limitations. In parallel it also examines the constitutionality and effect of regulations that have been adopted in succession in Peru on the obligation under sanction of biometric consultation by the notaries. In practice, this determines the preponderance of the result of an automated test on the validity of the notarized certificate. Finally, and taking as a theoretical framework the most recent research specialized in the field of biometric identification, the danger of the attribution of infallibility to systems of automated identification is warned. The paper concludes with the consequences of this attribution applied by supervisory bodies and the Peruvian authorities for the notarial function and legal security.
