This book provides a general overview of the growing field of biometrics, which involves measuring human biological traits for the purposes of identification and verification. Biometrics tools include physical traits, such as fingerprints, hand geometry, iris and retinal scans, facial recognition techniques, as well as behavioral traits, such as voice patterns, speech recognition, and handwriting analysis. Biometric devices are currently being used to control access into Walt Disney World, out of federal penitentiaries, and across the U.S.-Canadian border. It is also being used to verify the identity of people using ATM machines, applying for driver's licenses, and requesting social security benefits. The biometrics industry is booming in Asia and Latin America, but has lagged behind in the U.S. because people are concerned about privacy issues. This topic will receive a great deal of media coverage in the next few years.
