This book showcases a collection of comprehensive references on the advances of biometric security technology. It compiles a total of fourteen articles, all contributed by thirty-two eminent researchers in the field, thus providing concise and accessible coverage of not only general issues, but also state-of-the-art solutions. The book is divided into five parts:
(1) Biometric Template Protection, which covers cancellable biometrics and parameter management protocol;
(2) Biometric Key and Encryption, focusing on biometric key generation and visual biometric cryptography;
(3) Biometric Systems Analysis, dealing with biometric system security, and privacy evaluation and assessment;
(4) Privacy-Enhanced Biometric Systems, covering privacy-enhanced biometric system protocol design and implementation; and
(5) Other Biometric Security Technologies.
The book will be of particular interest to researchers, scholars, graduate students, engineers, practitioners and developers interested in security and privacy-related issues in biometric systems. It will also be attractive to managers of various organizations with strong security needs.
