Covering biometric options, ranging from fingerprint identification to eye scanning, this book describes guidelines, applications, and procedures for implementing them for network security systems. It is for security, system, and network administrators and managers, as well as those interested in the application of biometric technology.
A guide to integrating biometrics in the process of network security. Covers: finger, iris, retina, voice and fac biometrics. Emphasis on how to quantify the strength of a particular biometric. Complete with guidelines for deployment in a large enterprise, one of author's clients is Citibank and they are about to start using biometrics in their network authentication system around the world.

PAUL REID is Senior Product Manager for CryptoMetrics in New York, where he specializes in real-world application, implementation, and design of biometric systems. CryptoMetrics is a security software solution provider, building and integrating secure trustworthy applications using the most advanced technology in cryptography and biometrics. Paul has worked globally for many Fortune 500 companies and is a frequent presenter at conferences.
