About this title

Synopsis

Containing a wealth of real world advice and written from an operational perspective, "Practical Biometrics" examines the many issues raised by the application of biometric technologies to practical situations, with specific regard to wide scale public applications. It acts as a practical guide to implementation, identifying the associated issues around:

* Scalability in applications featuring biometric verification techniques

* Interoperability, both from a technical and operational perspective

* Ethnicity and the associated implications for biometric verification checks

* Failure to enroll and other error conditions

* User psychology – the less obvious, but vitally important aspects of operational performance.

"Practical Biometrics" provides an invaluable resource to program managers, application developers, consultants, and other interested in this technology.

From the Author

This book really does introduce biometrics and related systems in a down to earth, practical manner that every program manager and systems integrator will readily identify with. In addition, it is supplied with a very useful software utility which will prove invaluable to many readers.

While practical in nature, the book is also highly readable and will be a useful reference for those who are non-technical but who nevertheless wish to understand how this technology works and what its potential applications are. For many, it will be the only 'biometrics' book that they will ever need.
