A survey on ear biometrics

open access: yesACM Computing Surveys, 2013
Recognizing people by their ear has recently received significant attention in the literature. Several reasons account for this trend: first, ear recognition does not suffer from some problems associated with other non contact biometrics, such as face ...

Biometrical genetics

Biological Psychology, 2002
Biometrical genetics is the science concerned with the inheritance of quantitative traits. In this review we discuss how the analytical methods of biometrical genetics are based upon simple Mendelian principles. We demonstrate how the phenotypic covariance between related individuals provides information on the relative importance of genetic and ...

The Biometric Menagerie

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2010
It is commonly accepted that users of a biometric system may have differing degrees of accuracy within the system. Some people may have trouble authenticating, while others may be particularly vulnerable to impersonation. Goats, wolves, and lambs are labels commonly applied to these problem users.

Biometrics and Privacy

Recent Patents on Computer Science, 2008
By now, biometric systems find already home in a broad range of commercial and institutional applications. They are typically employed to authenticate users before allowing access to restricted areas or services. The interest in biometrics is mainly due to their potential advantages over traditional authentication procedures.

Multimodal biometrics

Proceedings of the International Conference and Workshop on Emerging Trends in Technology, 2010
Biometric products provide improved security over traditional electronic access control methods such as RFID tags, electronic keypads and some mechanical locks. They ensure that the authorized user is present in order for access to take place. The user's authorized card or password pin cannot be stolen or lost to gain access. Common physical biometrics

Biometric Security

2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology, 2008
Now a days also ID-password based authentication system is more popular. But as users and number of sites, users are going to handle, are increasing day by day it is not only difficult to remember ID and passwords but also to manage such a great database for site manager. Also no one is ready to have risk of hackers, key loggers etc.

Privacy and Biometrics for Authentication Purposes: A Discussion of Untraceable Biometrics and Biometric Encryption

2010
In this paper, the authors consider the prospects for embedding privacy into biometric technology through biometric encryption (BE) to deliver both privacy and security, particularly as more and more countries are exploring the use of biometric solutions for the purpose of authentication. This discussion arises from Commissioner Ann Cavoukian's seminal
