Biometrics for Network Security (Prentice Hall Series in Computer Networking and Distributed)

As seen in this chapter, each biometric was evaluated for its suitability for network security and scores were given for each characteristic. Figure 9-5 contains a graph showing all the individual graphs together. Here, it is very easy to see how a particular biometric performed relative to the other biometrics.

It is clear from Figure 9-5 that the closest overall to being ideal is the fingerprint biometric. This is also what is being seen in the marketplace . Fingerprint biometrics are clearly deployed more than any other type of biometric solution. The reasons for this are their overall general suitability for use and their robustness.
