And a result, many companiesare looking to combine password authentication with other authenticationmethods, most especially biometrics.

This book is unique in its coverage of how to design and implementa successful biometric solution for your network--and, it's written by abiometrics expert.Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on aphysiological or behavioral characteristic. Among the features measured are;face, fingerprints, hand geometry, handwriting, iris, retinal, and voice.Biometric technologies are becoming the foundation of an extensive array ofhighly secure identification and personal verification solutions.
