Abstract
This paper presents current findings from cross-cultural studies investigating the adoption of new secure technology, based on fingerprint authentication systems to be applied to an e-commerce websites, within the perspective of Saudi culture. The aim of the study was to explore factors affecting users’ acceptance of biometric authentication systems. A large scale laboratory experiment of 306 Saudis was performed using a login fingerprint system to observe whether Saudis are practically and culturally enthusiastic to accept this technology. The findings were then examined to measure the reliability and validity along with applying a proposed conceptual framework based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) with three moderating variables: age, gender and education level. The study model was adapted to meet the objectives of this study while adding other intrinsic factors such as self-efficiency and biometric system characteristics.
