Biometrics in Identity Management by Shimon K. Modi Pdf

In todayOCOs digital infrastructure we have to interact with an increasing number of systems, both in the physical and virtual world. Identity management (IdM) -- the process of identifying an individual and controlling access to resources based on their associated privileges -- is becoming progressively complex. This has brought the spotlight on the importance of effective and efficient means of ascertaining an individualOCOs identity. Biometric technologies like fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition etc. have a long history of use in law enforcement applications and are now transitioning towards commercial applications like password replacements, ATM authentication and others.This unique book provides you with comprehensive coverage of commercially available biometric technologies, their underlying principles, operational challenges and benefits, and deployment considerations. It also offers a look at the future direction these technologies are taking. By focusing on factors that drive the practical implementation of biometric technologies, this book serves to bridge the gap between academic researchers and industry practitioners. This book focuses on design, development, and deployment issues related to biometric technologies, including operational challenges, integration strategies, technical evaluations of biometric systems, standardization and privacy preserving principles, and several open questions which need to be answered for successful deployments."

The Science of Biometrics by Ravindra Das Pdf

The Science of Biometrics: Security Technology for Identity Verification covers the technical aspects of iris and facial recognition, focusing primarily on the mathematical and statistical algorithms that run the verification and identification processes in these two modalities. Each chapter begins with a review of the technologies, examining how they work, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as some of their established market applications. Numerous approaches are examined. Facial recognition is much more of an emerging biometric technology than iris recognition; therefore, there are more algorithms that are currently being developed in that area. After this review, numerous applications of these two modalities are covered as well, some of which have just been commercially deployed while others are under research and development. Chapters 3 and 4 conclude with case studies to provide further application review. This book is directed to security managers, electronic security system designers, consultants, and system integrators, as well as electronic security system manufacturers working in access control and biometrics.

Biometrics: Advanced Identity Verification by Julian Ashbourn Pdf

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.

Securing Social Identity in Mobile Platforms by Thirimachos Bourlai,Panagiotis Karampelas,Vishal M. Patel Pdf

The book presents novel research in the areas of social identity and security when using mobile platforms. The topics cover a broad range of applications related to securing social identity as well as the latest advances in the field, including the presentation of novel research methods that are in the service of all citizens using mobile devices. More specifically, academic, industry-related and government (law enforcement, intelligence and defence) organizations, will benefit from the research topics of this book that cover the concept of identity management and security using mobile platforms from various perspectives, i.e. whether a user navigates to social media, accesses their own phone devices, access their bank accounts, uses online shopping service providers, accesses their personal documents or accounts with valuable information, surfs the internet, or even becomes a victim of cyberattacks. In all of the aforementioned cases, there is a need for mobile related technologies that protect the users’ social identity and well-being in the digital world, including the use of biometrics, cybersecurity software and tools, active authentication and identity anti-spoofing algorithms and more.
