It would certainly imply some sort of corporate espionage. It's almost like the video is trying to map Elizabeth's facial features to find someone who could pass as her.
My thought was that it was initially doing a facial recognition scan, and then identifying if she is telling the truth or lying. Possibly and upgraded Voight-Kampff test
Actually.. I just watched the video carefully. You can see the text "Yutani Photo-Polygraph Technologies" on the right side. The left side starts out as unconfirmed, but then sequences through a number of names similar to Elizabeth Shaw until it gets a lock. As the left side attempts to get a positive identification, the right side has meters showing honesty, anxiety, and determination.
At the end of the video you can see that the software was licensed to Weyland Corp.
I have no idea if they would use it, but it would IMO be the perfect way to start the sequel. It's not hard to believe that Yutani would be monitoring or have a back door built into a piece of software licensed to Weyland Corp. It would make perfect sense, and give the writers the ability to introduce characters to LV223 close to the events in Prometheus.
Otherwise your looking at many years for a follow up mission to get there. The gap would make it difficult for humans to follow the Juggernaut as a story option. And the Deacon might starve to death by that point. After the tasty hammerpedes there wont be much left to eat!
