1. The Biometric Consortium

The Biometric Consortium serves as the US Government's focal point for research, development, test, evaluation, and application of biometric-based personal identification/verification technology.

2. An Overview of Biometrics

Biometrics can be used to prevent unauthorized access to ATMs, cellular phones, smart cards, desktop PCs, workstations, and computer networks. It can be used during transactions conducted via telephone and internet (electronic commerce and electronic banking).

3. IBIA

The International Biometric Industry Association is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association that represents the interests of the industry in legislative and regulatory matters, and promotes the use of biometric technology as an effective way to safeguard people, data, and facilities without sacrificing privacy.

4. Biometrics-Based Web Access

With the increasing growth of the Internet, there is a need to restrict access to sensitive data on the Web to authorized users. We have developed a prototype system which uses hand geometry to authenticate users to restrict access to web pages. Initial evaluation of the prototype system is encouraging. Similar techniques can be used to authenticate people for e-commerce applications.
