An insight into the biometric industry and the steps forsuccessful deployment
Biometrics technologies verify identity through characteristicssuch as fingerprints, voices, and faces. By providing increasedsecurity and convenience, biometrics have begun to see widespreaddeployment in network, e-commerce, and retail applications. Thisbook provides in-depth analysis of biometrics as a solution forauthenticating employees and customers. Leading authority, SamirNanavati explores privacy, security, accuracy, system design, userperceptions, and lessons learned in biometric deployments. He alsoassesses the real-world strengths and weaknesses of leadingbiometric technologies: finger-scan, iris-scan, facial-scan,voice-scan, and signature-scan. This accessible book is a necessarystep in understanding and implementing biometrics.
Demystifies the complex world of optical networks for IT andbusiness managers
Over the past few years, the cost of fiber optic networking hasdecreased, making it the best solution for providing virtuallyunlimited bandwidth for corporate LANs and WANs, metropolitannetworks, Internet access, and broadband to the home. The onlystrategic book on optical networking technologies written from areal-world business perspective, Optical Networking demystifiescomplex fiber technologies for managers, and details the practicalbusiness benefits an optical network can offer. Debra Cameronexplores established and emerging markets for optical networks aswell as the enabling technologies, applications, networkarchitectures, key deployment issues, and cost considerations. Shealso provides in-depth case studies of optical networks now in usein the United States and abroad.
