Networked Biometrics Systems — Requirements Based on Iris Recognition

  • Published:
BT Technology Journal

Abstract

Future user verification and validation for networked access to computer applications, trust services and e-commerce could rely upon biometrics-based user authentication. This paper discusses requirements for networked biometrics access, based on experience with iris recognition systems. Also described is the development of a prototype WindowsNT log-on system using iris recognition.
