Biometric Technology Application Manual Volume 1 ix
Abstract
About the Biometric Technology
Application Manual (BTAM)
Published by the National Biometric Security Project
(NBSP), the Biometric Technology Application Manual
(BTAM) is a comprehensive reference manual on biometric
technology applications. This reference book, in three
volumes, has been compiled for biometric technology
users and for those who are evaluating biometrics as an
enabling technology within an integrated system or program
for security and identification management. The
BTAM is intended to be a rational and practical tool for
those who specify, buy, integrate, operate, and manage
biometric technology-based systems.
The experienced biometric practitioner will see much
that is familiar in the BTAM. The publication is not
a revelation of new content. Rather, it is designed to
inform the rapidly growing community of new users,
designers, and integrators, and assist them in their search
for practical application solutions. Hopefully, it will
prove to be the standard desktop reference on the subject
of biometrics for all levels of interest and experience.
Generally, this manual has been compiled for and is intended
for individuals and organizations with responsibility
for protecting civil infrastructure and related applications
including, but are not limited to:
•
•
Civil infrastructure agencies
Other government agencies
