Biometrics: Advanced Identity Verification: The Complete Guide
Ebooks Online

Biometric identity verification (BIV) offers a radical alternative to passports, PIN numbers, ID cards and driving licences. It uses physiological or behavioural characteristics such as fingerprints, hand geometry, and retinas to check a person's identity. It is therefore much less open to fraudulent use, which makes it ideal for use in voting systems, financial transactions, benefit payment administration, border control, and prison access.This is the first book to provide business readers with an easy-to-read, non-technical introduction to BIV systems. It explains the background and then tells the reader how to get their system up and running quickly. It will be an invaluable read for practitioners, managers and IT personnel - in fact for anyone considering, or involved in, implementing a BIV system.Julian Ashbourn was one of the pioneers in integrating biometric technology and has provided input into many prototype BIV systems around the world.

This is only an introductory book in biometrics. It doesn't explains neither algorithms nor techniques, only shows some facts of biometrics. I don't recommend this book.

In light of the circumstances following 9-11, this book sheds light on the technological direction that biometrics will provide in identifying the populous.While these thoughts may send thoughts of "Orwell" in the minds of many readers, the benefits to be gained by utilizing biometric technology will clearly eliminate a substantial amount of fraud and identity theft within our society,While this book is technocal in nature, it is written in a non-technocal format and focuses much of the attention on the application aspect of the technology. This is a great read for the businessman seeking new venues to employ technical advances into the business process.

This book was disappointing. The presentation of biometrics was very shallow. I wanted to learn more detailed information about biometrics but the treatment in this book was very superficial.

This book is a very good practical guide for all those wishing to actually implement biometric systems. It cuts right through to the practical issues and doesn't get lost in unnecessary technical detail. The example project section is especially valuable and gives a great deal of useful and practical information which is not available in purely academic works. For anyone actually designing or using biometric systems, this book is worth its weight in gold

This is the best overall book on the subject of biometrics for potential users - bar none. For anyone who is interested in actually implenting a biometric system, then this book is essential reading as it covers much more than just the technology and offers much practical insight. The introductory sections make a particularly interesting read and I found the whole book extremely thought provoking and enjoyable from cover to cover. Excellent!
