Biometrics in a Data Driven World: Trends, Technologies, and Challenges

Book Overview

This book is a compilation of important topics in biometrics-based authentication, with a focus on new trends such as applications in mobile platforms, social media, healthcare, etc. One of the main challenges that the book addresses is the effect of quality on biometric samples, both in traditional and mobile applications - what kinds of noise and disturbances affect authentication performance, potential solutions to mitigate them and what the ramifications are in terms of security. For example, how do face recognition systems perform with faces with artificial make-up/disguise? The book also addresses challenges in computing related to biometric data.
