Biometric Technology: Authentication, Biocryptography, and Cloud-Based Architecture (Hardcover)

Most biometric books are either extraordinarily technical for technophiles or extremely elementary for the lay person. Striking a balance between the two, Biometric Technology: Authentication, Biocryptography, and Cloud-Based Architecture is ideal for business, IT, or security managers that are faced with the task of making purchasing, migration, or adoption decisions. It brings biometrics down to an understandable level, so that you can immediately begin to implement the concepts discussed.

Exploring the technological and social implications of widespread biometric use, the book considers the science and technology behind biometrics as well as how it can be made more affordable for small and medium-sized business. It also presents the results of recent research on how the principles of cryptography can make biometrics more secure.

Covering biometric technologies in the cloud, including security and privacy concerns, the book includes a chapter that serves as a "how-to manual" on procuring and deploying any type of biometric system. It also includes specific examples and case studies of actual biometric deployments of localized and national implementations in the U.S. and other countries.

The book provides readers with a technical background on the various biometric technologies and how they work. Examining optimal application in various settings and their respective strengths and weaknesses, it considers ease of use, false positives and negatives, and privacy and security issues. It also covers emerging applications such as biocryptography.

Although the text can be understood by just about anybody, it is an ideal resource for corporate-level executives who are considering implementing biometric technologies in their organizations.

大多數生物識別技術的書籍要麼對技術愛好者來說過於專業，要麼對一般讀者來說過於基礎。在這兩者之間取得平衡，《生物識別技術：身份驗證、生物密碼學和基於雲的架構》非常適合面臨購買、遷移或採用決策的企業、IT或安全經理。它將生物識別技術講解得易於理解，讓您可以立即開始實施所討論的概念。

本書探討了廣泛使用生物識別技術的技術和社會影響，考慮了生物識別技術背後的科學和技術，以及如何使其對中小型企業更具可負擔性。它還介紹了最近關於如何通過密碼學原則使生物識別技術更安全的研究結果。

本書涵蓋了雲中的生物識別技術，包括安全和隱私問題，其中一章作為“操作手冊”介紹了如何採購和部署任何類型的生物識別系統。它還包括實際生物識別部署的具體案例和案例研究，包括美國和其他國家的本地和國家級實施。

本書為讀者提供了有關各種生物識別技術及其工作原理的技術背景。它考慮了在不同環境中的最佳應用以及它們各自的優點和缺點，包括易用性、誤判率、隱私和安全問題。它還涵蓋了生物密碼學等新興應用。

儘管這本書幾乎任何人都能理解，但對於考慮在組織中實施生物識別技術的企業高層管理人員來說，它是一個理想的資源。
