Biometric Technologies and Verification Systems Paperback / softback
by John R. (Information Technology Consultant and Researcher, Pomeroy, OH, USA.) Vacca
Paperback / softback
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.
