Guide to Biometrics

در دنیای امروزی که به صورت جهانی متصل است، علاقه فزاینده ای به استفاده از بیومتریک (ویژگی های فیزیکی شخصی مانند اثر انگشت، تصاویر چهره، الگوهای صوتی، کدهای عنبیه و هندسه دست) برای تأیید انسان وجود دارد. شناسایی و برنامه های \"غربالگری\" بیومتریک ها جذاب هستند زیرا نمی توانند \"فراموش شوند\" به راحتی دزدیده نمی شوند و یک پیوند مستقیم و غیرقابل انکار بین یک کاربر و یک تراکنش فراهم می کنند.

این یک راهنمای فنی کامل با هدف ارائه هسته اصلی است. ایده هایی که زیربنای حوزه بیومتریک هستند. تعریف و اندازه گیری عملکرد را توضیح می دهد و عوامل دخیل در انتخاب بین بیومتریک های مختلف را بررسی می کند. همچنین به کاربردهای عملی می پردازد و تعدادی از موضوعات حیاتی برای یکپارچه سازی سیستم موفق را پوشش می دهد. این موارد عبارتند از دقت تشخیص، هزینه کل مالکیت، سرعت کسب و پردازش، امنیت ذاتی و سیستم، حریم خصوصی و الزامات قانونی، و پذیرش کاربر.

ویژگی ها.

In today’s globally connected world there is increasing interest in using biometrics (personal physical attributes such as fingerprints, facial images, voice patterns, iris codes, and hand geometry) for human verification, identification, and "screening" applications. Biometrics are attractive because they cannot be "forgotten," are not easily stolen, and provide a direct, undeniable link between a user and a transaction.

This is a complete technical guide aimed at presenting the core ideas that underlie the area of biometrics. It explains the definition and measurement of performance and examines the factors involved in choosing between different biometrics. It also delves into practical applications and covers a number of topics critical for successful system integration. These include recognition accuracy, total cost of ownership, acquisition and processing speed, intrinsic and system security, privacy and legal requirements, and user acceptance.

Features & Benefits:

*State-of-the-art coverage of biometric theory, research, and implementation

*Provides a broad orientation for a wide class of readers, yet has tightly integrated topical organization

*Debunks myths and candidly confronts problems associated with biometrics research

*Details relevant issues in choosing between biometrics, as well as defining and measuring performance

*Defines and explains how to measure the performance of both verification and identification systems

*Addresses challenges in managing tradeoffs between security and convenience

This up-to-date and detailed resource is an extensive survey of the principles, methods, and technologies used in biometric authentication systems.
