Explore the next iteration of identity protection and overcome real-world challenges
Understand different biometric use cases to deploy a large-scale biometric system
Curated by renowned security ambassador and experienced author Lisa Bock

Description

Biometric technologies provide a variety of robust and convenient methods to securely identify and authenticate an individual. Unlike a password or smart card, biometrics can identify an attribute that is not only unique to an individual, but also eliminates any possibility of duplication. Identity Management with Biometrics is a solid introduction for anyone who wants to explore biometric techniques, such as fingerprint, iris, voice, palm print, and facial recognition. Starting with an overview of biometrics, you’ll learn the various uses and applications of biometrics in fintech, buildings, border control, and many other fields. You’ll understand the characteristics of an optimal biometric system and then review different types of errors and discover the benefits of multi-factor authentication. You’ll also get to grips with analyzing a biometric system for usability and accuracy and understand the process of implementation, testing, and deployment, along with addressing privacy concerns. The book outlines the importance of protecting biometric data by using encryption and shows you which factors to consider and how to analyze them before investing in biometric technologies. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with a variety of recognition processes and be able to make the right decisions when implementing biometric technologies.

Who is this book for?

Identity Management with Biometrics is for IT managers, security professionals, students, teachers, and anyone involved in selecting, purchasing, integrating, or securing a biometric system. This book will help you understand how to select the right biometric system for your organization and walk you through the steps for implementing identity management and authentication. A basic understanding of biometric authentication techniques, such as fingerprint and facial recognition, and the importance of providing a secure method of authenticating an individual will help you make the most of the book.

As a consumer and implementer of biometrics technologies (specifically in the realm of timeclock and payroll systems), I have a strong appreciation for the concepts outlined in this resource.In this book Lisa does a fantastic job of introducing biometric technologies in plain English, and slowly building concepts to a deep technical understanding. This book provides a fantastic explanation of the technologies that make biometrics tick, as well as provides insight related to the past, present, and future of biometrics. The content is well researched, up to date, and accurate.I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about biometrics, C-level executives, practicing professionals, and students.

Authentication using Biometrics has always been an interesting topic for me. Many years ago when I started my journey within IT security, this was a very new topic and was extremely fascinating, even today it still is quite amazing. Upon receiving my copy of Lisa Bock’s book on 'Identity Management with Biometrics' I began reading and reading some more, each chapter is filled with clearly defined content such as providing a breakdown of how biometric authentication functions and how it can be implementing using various enrollment models such as Voice, fingerprint and facial recognition. Lisa has created excellent within this book and I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn about biometric authentication with identity management.

Great book

jayelliii Nov 22, 2020

If you are involved in network security; physical or logical, this book is a must read! As a matter of fact, even if you are just curious about bio-metrics, this book could be of great value as it goes into details about every system in use as well as their history. Mrs. Bock takes the time to explain every phase of building the bio-metrics system, from acquisition of data (sampling), through processing and final output (allow/deny) of each possible user. To complement the reading, she does provide links for current studies from governments throughout the world as well as referencing and demonstrating some of the current tools which, in some cases, are freely downloadable. To help you sediment the knowledge, every chapter is supplemented with chapter quiz. I found it as an add-on value to the reading. Great work .... again!
