Biometrics and Network Security (Paperback)

The biggest vulnerability in most enterprise networks is the authentication system--especially if it relies solely on passwords. And a result, many companies are looking to combine password authentication with other authentication methods, most especially biometrics. The few biometrics books that do exist are overview books aimed at management and/or are not written by biometric specialists. This book is unique in its coverage of how to design and implement a successful biometric solution for your network--and, it's written by a biometrics expert.

Key Feature
* By providing increased security and convenience, biometrics have begun to see widespread deployment in network applications.
* Contains guidelines, applications, and procedures for implementing biometrics.
* Explains finger, voice, hand geometry, face, and eye biometrics--for each covers how a biometric is captured and stored, and how it can be spoofed/faked.
