“Biometrics is a timely, rich, and comprehensive addition to the biometric literature, and it belongs in every library as a valuable source of information, both interesting for casual technical reading and essential for technical reference. The important issues are fairly presented and discussed. This is a rare book that is at once a textbook and required reading for all of us intoday’s biometric society, where the human body has become the password for access.
Organized efficiently, this book builds from definitions and history to technologies, issues, privacy, and policy, ending with a thorough discussion of the idea for a national ID. The writing style is excellent, using case study and scenarios appropriately, yet dealing directly with issues such as privacy and law, and test and evaluation. I did not put the book aside until I had reached its final page.”
