Performance and Security Evaluation of Biometric Web Based Application

Biometric recognition is the use of individual biometric physical or behavioural characteristic such as iris retina and fingerprint to uniquely identify the person. This technology offers a reliable and convenient solution to the problem of personal recognition. Fingerprint identification and verification system is the most widely used today because of it’s easy of implementation and high performance.

Deploying a biometric system on the web makes it accessible by everybody thereby exposing it to hackers and imposters that might exploit the system for their own gain. The Book- Performance and Security Evaluation of Biometric Web-Based Application deals on the investigation of the performance and Security of web application when it involves biometric system.
