Transparent user authentication: biometrics, RFID and behavioural profiling

This groundbreaking text examines the problem of user authentication from a completely new viewpoint. Rather than describing the requirements, technologiesand implementation issues of designing point-of-entry authentication, the book introduces and investigates the technological requirements of implementing transparent user authentication – where authentication credentials are capturedduring a user’s normal interaction with a system. This approach would transform user authentication from a binary point-of-entry decision to a continuous identity confidence measure. Topics and features: discusses the need for user authentication; reviews existing authentication approaches; introduces novel behavioural biometrics techniques; examines the wider system-specific issues with designing large-scale multimodal authentication systems; concludes with a look to the future of user authentication. Examines the problem of user authentication from a completely new and groundbreaking viewpoint. Introduces novel behavioural biometrics techniques, not covered by any other book. Discusses both theoretical underpinnings of biometric technologies, and practical considerations for the design of such systems. INDICE: Part I: Enabling Security through User Authentication.
