Guide Review - Book Review: Implementing Biometric Security
Biometric technology is gaining in popularity. Rather than dealing with passwords that can be cracked or stolen, biometric authentication relies on unique physical characteristics such as fingerprint, retina or voice patterns. Implementing Biometric Security covers most of the biometric technologies out there. The strengths and weaknesses of each are discussed and the authors help you to weed through the technologies to determine if biometrics are right for you and, if so, which technology or technologies might suit you best. If you are thinking about implementing biometric security I highly recommend you review this book first to gain a solid understanding of the options available to you and how to best implement them in your network.
