System issues in biometric technologiesDr. Ben Schouten New sensing and distributed technologies will enable transparent biometric applications integrating in our daily life. Following the value chain model for implementation of biometrics, a successful design, deployment and operation of biometric systems depends highly on the scientific results for existing biometrical technologies and components. These existing technologies as well as new solutions need to be evaluated on their performance. However it is often forgotten that the biometric is only one part of a fully deployed application. System developers should be aware that requirements capture and system definition for biometric enabled systems are demanding, time-consuming and expensive activities than for most other IT systems. System integrators will need to address the security require-ments of the deployed application in this light and the fears and concerns of a significant segment of the user population need also to be addressed as early as possible in the design process, to ensure that appropriate mechanisms are in place to reassure such users. The concerns may relate to privacy or to safety issues, which may be addressed in part through legal and regulatory measures. In this course we will elaborate on the requirements, design and application scenario's of biometrical systems from different perspectives. Consequently we will shed light into the future of new sensing technologies and cognitive biometrics for smart environments. As reader we will use the BIOVISION roadmap for biometrics in Europe to 2010. http://www.eubiometricforum.com/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=26 |
