With the advent of the internet as a medium for performing business
transactions, the need for a secure communication channel has never
been more paramount. The study of behavioral biometrics - the
verification and/or identification of individuals based on the way
they provide information to an authentication system - originated
from the need for a small footprint, versatile alternative to
expensive hardware-based, or physiological, biometrics. As an
emerging alternative to these traditional and more well-known
physiological biometrics such as fingerprinting or iris scans,
behavorial biometrics can offer state-of-the-art solutions to
identity management requirements as either a stand-alone system or
part of a multi-biometric security system.
Whilst there are many existing texts that focus on physiological
biometrics or algorithmic approaches deployed in biometrics,
"Behavioral Biometrics" addresses a gap in the existing literature
for a text that is solely dedicated to the topic of behavioral
biometrics. The author
presents a thorough analysis of the latest research into
well-known techniques such as signature verification and voice
recognition, as well more recently developed and ground-breaking
techniques including keyboard/ mouse dynamics, gait analysis, odour
analysis and salinity testing, which are ever increasing in
reliability; discusses exciting future trends that focus on the
brain-computer interface using EEG technology and may one day
enable human-machine interaction via brainwave patterns; describes
the central applications for the technology within e-commerce and
related industries, and provides a number of comprehensive case
studies of major implementations thatprovide the user with a strong
sense of the approaches employed in the various subdomains of
behavioral biometrics. provides a comprehensive glossary of terms
as well as a rich set of references and websites that enable the
reader to explore and augment topics as required.
"Behavioral Biometrics" will appeal to graduate and postgraduate
students, as well as researchers wishing to explore this
fascinating research topic, in areas of biometrics and computer
science including classification algorithms, pattern recognition,
artificial intelligence & security and digital forensics. In
addition, it will serve as a reference for system integrators,
CIOs, and related professionals who are charged with implementing
security features at their organization.
