In our international and interconnected information society‚ there is an evergrowing need to authenticate and identify individuals. Biometrics-based authentication is emerging as the most reliable solution. Currently‚ there have been various biometric technologies and systems for authentication‚ which are either widely used or under development. The Kluwer International Book Series on Biometrics (KISB) will systematically introduce these relative technologies and systems‚ presented by biometric experts to summarize their successful experience‚ and explore how to design the corresponding systems with in-depth discussion. In addition‚ this series aims to provide an international exchange for researchers‚ professionals‚ and industrial practitioners to share their knowledge of how to surf this tidal wave of information. KISB will contain new material that describes‚ in a unified way‚ the basic concepts‚ theories and characteristic features of integrating and formulating the different facets of biometrics‚ together with its recent developments and significant applications. Different biometric experts‚ from the global community‚ are invited to write these books. Each volume will provide exhaustive information on the development in that respective area. KISB will provide a balanced mixture of technology‚ systems and applications. A comprehensive bibliography on the related subjects will also be appended for the convenience of our readers.
