This paper describes some of the biometrics verification applications developed within the project ACTS-102 M2VTS: multimodal verification for teleservices and applications. These prototypes provide identity authentication in two of the most promising application areas of biometrics: Secured access to financial services (ATM and Internet Teleservices) and building security applications. The verification modalities implemented into the prototypes are face and speech verification, these are potentially the best accepted by users since they are the less intrusive and the more inexpensive. To achieve higher levels of security, the results obtained by each modality are combined using a fusion method, which decides the user acceptance or rejection. Every prototype has been tested by end-users in a close to real environment.
