Description
Biometric Technologies and Verification Systems is organized into nine parts composed of 30 chapters, including an extensive
glossary of biometric terms and acronyms. It discusses the current state-of-the-art in biometric verification/authentication, identification
and system design principles. It also provides a step-by-step discussion of how biometrics works; how biometric data in human beings
can be collected and analyzed in a number of ways; how biometrics are currently being used as a method of personal identification in
which people are recognized by their own unique corporal or behavioral characteristics; and how to create detailed menus for designing
a biometric verification system.
Only biometrics verification/authentication is based on the identification of an intrinsic part of
a human being. Tokens, such as smart cards, magnetic stripe cards, and physical keys can be lost, stolen, or duplicated. Passwords can
be forgotten, shared, or unintentionally observed by a third party. Forgotten passwords and lost "smart cards" are a nuisance for users
and an expensive time-waster for system administrators. Biometric security solutions offer some unique advantages for identifying and
verifying/ authenticating human beings over more traditional security methods. This book will serve to identify the various security
applications biometrics can play a highly secure and specific role in.
Audience
CSO Security Managers, IT/computer security professionals, security consultants and IT and physical electronic security Ssystem designers.
Security engineering designers, bioinformatics engineers, biometric developers, DoD and the various national research labs, various arms
of DHS.
