Biometrics refers to automated methods of recognizing a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Among the features measured are face, fingerprints, hand geometry, handwriting, iris, retina, vein, and voice. With an A–Z format, the comprehensive Encyclopedia of Biometrics provides easy access to relevant information on all aspects of biometrics for those seeking entry into the broad field of biometrics. The Encyclopedia is composed of approximately 250 entries, covering all areas of Biometrics including the following: Biometric Modalities: FaceFingerprintIris and Re

Biometrics is becoming increasingly common in establishments that require high security such as state security and financial sectors. The increased threat to national security by terrorists has led to the explosive popularity of biometrics. A number of biometric devices are now available to capture biometric measurements such as fingerprints, palm, retinal scans, keystroke, voice recognition and facial scanning. However, the accuracy of these measurements varies, which has a direct relevance on the levels of security they offer. With the need to combat the problems related to identify theft an

Biometric recognition, or simply Biometrics, is a rapidly evolving field with applications ranging from accessing one’s computer to gaining entry into a country. Biometric systems rely on the use of physical or behavioral traits, such as fingerprints, face, voice and hand geometry, to establish the identity of an individual. The deployment of large-scale biometric systems in both commercial (e.g., grocery stores, amusement parks, airports) and government (e.g., US-VISIT) applications has served to increase the public’s awareness of this technology. This rapid growth has also highli
