Practical Biometrics
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.

Implementing Biometric Security
Biometrics authentication, which relies on fingerprints, speech, or other physical characteristics, is an increasingly important means of protecting critical data. Implementing Biometric Security gives security professionals specific guidelines, applications, and procedures for implementing a biometric security system in a LAN, WAN, or wireless infrastructure. This book covers fingerprint identification, hand geometry, speaker recognition, face location, retina scanning, and multibiometrics. The companion Web site contains articles, papers, source code, and product guides.

Biometric Inverse Problems
Traditional methods of biometric analysis are unable to overcome the limitations of existing approaches, mainly due to the lack of standards for input data, privacy concerns involving use and storage of actual biometric data, and unacceptable accuracy. Exploring solutions to inverse problems in biometrics transcends such limits and allows rich analysis of biometric information and systems for improved performance and testing. Biometric Inverse Problems provides the first comprehensive treatment of biometric data synthesis and modelling. This reference comprises eight self-contained chapters that cover the principles of biometric inverse problems; basics of data structure design; new automatic synthetic signature, fingerprint, and iris design; synthetic faces and DNA; and new tools for biometrics based on Voronoi diagrams.
