Book Description:
Biometric technologies provide a variety of robust and convenient
methods to securely identify and authenticate an individual. Unlike a
password or smart card, biometrics can identify an attribute that is not
only unique to an individual, but also eliminates any possibility of
duplication. Identity Management with Biometrics is a solid introduction
for anyone who wants to explore biometric techniques, such as
fingerprint, iris, voice, palm print, and facial recognition.
Starting with an overview of biometrics, you'll learn the various uses
and applications of biometrics in fintech, buildings, border control,
and many other fields. You'll understand the characteristics of an
optimal biometric system and then review different types of errors and
discover the benefits of multi-factor authentication. You'll also get to
grips with analyzing a biometric system for usability and accuracy and
understand the process of implementation, testing, and deployment, along
with addressing privacy concerns. The book outlines the importance of
protecting biometric data by using encryption and shows you which
factors to consider and how to analyze them before investing in
biometric technologies.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with a variety of
recognition processes and be able to make the right decisions when
implementing biometric technologies.
