Research output: Contribution to book or proceedingChapter

Abstract

Biometrics is emerging as an effective and efficient technology in industry for authentication and access control.  It has been shown to perform acceptably well and has multiple advantages, such as low false acceptance rate, over traditional authentication technologies. It is also emerging as a means of authentication for personal use, and many notebook computers and mobile devices come equipped with the hardware and software to utilize biometrics. This paper seeks to evaluate common biometric practices and their effectiveness. It also analyzes one specific personal biometric solution: Asus SmartLogon face recognition and catalogs its performance in the real world, demonstrating where this system excels and where it falls short.
