Biometric systems offer automated methods for identity verification on the principle of measurable physiological or behavioral characteristics. Biometric modalities include fingerprint, voice, face, signature, hand geometry, etc.
From a commercial perspective, the market of biometric applications has gained significant momentum in the past ten years. On the one hand, ensuring the safety of the citizens has become a major concern for most of our governments. On the other hand, a large deal of IT applications such as e-commerce, e-banking and health monitoring has triggered a real need for reliable, user-friendly, and widely acceptable control mechanisms for checking the identity of an individual. Commercial products based on biometrics are now available from different vendors. However, field deployment has raised many technical and non-technical issues which are still open and need to be tackled.
From a research point of view, new trends are also emerging such as multimodal biometrics which seek for higher accuracy and better population coverage. Other sensitive issues have been also emerging, related to the intrinsic security of biometric systems, apparition of intentional forgeries, liveness detection as well as personal data protection issues.
