Using Your Body for Authentication: A Biometrics Guide for System Administrators
Is a face worth a thousand passwords? Have you ever wanted to add a biometric factor to your user authentication but didn't know where to start? This talk will provide a solid introduction to biometrics (the automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and biological characteristics) with a wide-ranging discussion of the popular use cases, the five most common biometric modalities (face, fingerprint, iris, hand, and voice), the current state of the biometrics industry, and practical advice and tools for system administrators. Learn about data management, privacy issues, liveness testing, and current standards efforts.
