Theorizing Digital Security Governance and Biometric Data Inputs based on Research Topics and Online Mentions Tracking

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Research on topics in the field of digital security governance and biometrics presents multiple opportunities for analysis depending on the conceptual framework and informational support of data collection. Research objectives: This study initiates and engages in a complex and interdisciplinary investigation of topics in the field of digital security governance and biometric data. The primary objective focuses on the analysis of the frequency of use in the scientific literature of the most important concepts associated with the two fields, and the second objective of the study illustrates the acceptability and circulation of relevant topics in the digitized literature. Research methodology: The research uses the Google Ngram Viewer technique to select, collect and extract over twenty topics and other phrases relevant to the analysis of digital security governance and biometrics in the period 2000-2022. For the selection of topics and associated phrases, we will use the specific terminology provided by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/IEC 2382-37:2022, Information technology — Vocabulary Part 37: Biometrics) (edition 3, 2022), but also the collection of sources and references provided by the World Bank (Practitioner’s Guide) regarding the fields: biometric identification, legal and digital identity, privacy framework, personal data, data protection, digital signatures, e-governance and information technology. Results and discussion: The results of the online investigation offer multidimensional perspectives on digital security governance, biometrics and behavioral biometrics, projecting the applicability of the topics for data security and information confidentiality. The results also indicate the importance of the biometric component and the role of the characteristics of the technologies. Conclusions: The conclusions of the study provide an overview of the taxonomy of topics in the digital security governance and biometrics, but also an indexing of the highest conceptual frequencies. The limits of the research are also discussed, as well as future directions for analysis.
