Volume 2: Applying Biometrics
Volume 2 is the follow-up to Volume 1, moving from
the basic information about biometrics more generally
to specific case studies and applications. A common
theme throughout Volume 2 addresses the issue of what
a buyer/end-user needs to know to make an informed
decision about which technologies will work best for a
given application. This is supplemented with case studies
of biometric technologies—why the technology worked
