USER BIOMETRICS AUTHENTICATION (Comprehensive Analysis)
As the capabilities of mobile devices increase, their security is becoming more of an issue. Passwords and PINs are the lowest forms of security, yet they are the most widely used. Continuous authentication using behavioral biometrics and multimodal biometrics provides a way to greatly increase security. Using behavioral biometrics, such as linguistic profiling, keystroke dynamics, and behavior profiling, with text messages is a good way to analyze data and determine the identity of the user. Deciding which forms of authentication to use depends on the system the security is being provided for. User authentication in the workplace is a major concern. An effortless way to improve security would be to use a biometric-enabled bracelet to authorize and de-authorize a user when using a computer and when walking away. This book extensively surveyed the biometric user-authentication and particularly focused on mobile biometric authentication including emerging biometric authentication processes.

Biometrics: Personal Identification in Networked Society is a comprehensive and accessible source of state-of-the-art information on all existing and emerging biometrics: the science of automatically identifying individuals based on their physiological or behavior characteristics. In particular, the book covers: *General principles and ideas of designing biometric-based systems and their underlying tradeoffs *Identification of important issues in the evaluation of biometrics-based systems *Integration of biometric cues, and the integration of biometrics with other existing technologies *Assessment of the capabilities and limitations of different biometrics *The comprehensive examination of biometric methods in commercial use and in research development *Exploration of some of the numerous privacy and security implications of biometrics. Also included are chapters on face and eye identification, speaker recognition, networking, and other timely technology-related issues. All chapters are written by leading internationally recognized experts from academia and industry. Biometrics: Personal Identification in Networked Society is an invaluable work for scientists, engineers, application developers, systems integrators, and others working in biometrics.
Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis, Second Edition
Building on the success of the first Edition—the first pure textbook designed specifically for students on the subject—Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis, Second Edition provides an understanding of the historical background of fingerprint evidence, and follows it all the way through to illustrate how it is utilized in the courtroom. An essential learning tool for classes in fingerprinting and impression evidence—with each chapter building on the previous one using a pedagogical format—the book is divided into three sections. The first explains the history and theory of fingerprint analysis, fingerprint patterns and classification, and the concept of biometrics—the practice of using unique biological measurements or features to identify individuals. The second section discusses forensic light sources and physical and chemical processing methods. Section three covers fingerprint analysis with chapters on documentation, crime scene processing, fingerprint and palm print comparisons, and courtroom testimony. New coverage to this edition includes such topics as the biometrics and AFIS systems, physiology and embryology of fingerprint development in the womb, digital fingerprint record systems, new and emerging chemical reagents, varieties of fingerprint powders, and more. Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis, Second Edition stands as the most comprehensive introductory textbook on the market.
