Automated biometric recognition technology, or simply 'biometrics', appeared in the 1960s as a paradigm shift to the classical security and identity management technologies used until then. With these new systems, one is not recognised by something that they know (e.g., PIN or password) or...

Cryptography, biometrics, and anonymity in cybersecurity management aims to cover all essential topics of cybersecurity and cybersecurity management, with a focus on reporting on cybersecurity security issues and cybersecurity risk management as well as the latest research results, and...

We introduce a biometric measure of wellbeing – pulse – which has been largely overlooked. Using nationally representative data on 165,000 individuals from the Health Survey for England (HSE) and Scottish Health Surveys (SHeS) we show that its correlates are similar in a number of ways to...

Developing countries increasingly use biometric identification technology in hopes of improving the reliability of administrative information and delivering social services more efficiently. This paper exploits the random placement of biometric tracking devices in tuberculosis treatment centers...

"As the use of analytics becomes increasingly important in today's business landscape, The Marketing Analytics Practitioner's Guide (MAPG) provides a thorough understanding of marketing management concepts and their practical applications, making it a valuable resource for professionals and...

This book is designed to impart and convey knowledge as well as understanding of the range of biometric technologies and cybertechnologies, while also stressing their advantages and disadvantages. The authors develop an appreciation for and breadth of knowledge that spans the full range of...

A growing literature identifies associations between subjective and biometric indicators of wellbeing. These associations, together with the ability of subjective wellbeing (SWB) metrics to predict health and behavioral outcomes, have spawned increasing interest in SWB as an important concept in...

States across the country are taking steps towards providing digital identities to beneficiaries of their Public Distribution System. In doing so, use of Aadhaar based biometrics seems to be the preferred choice of method. However, this method has been widely criticized for several reasons such...

As consumers begin to realize the extent to which their biometric and health data are being tracked through wearable devices, new privacy concerns have arisen. These concerns are more than hypothetical as the unregulated sharing and disclosure of biometric and health data may have serious...

Internet of Things (IoT) and services is an interesting topic with a wide range of potential applications like smart home systems, health care, telemedicine, and intelligent transportation. Traditionally, key agreement schemes have been evaluated to access IoT services which are highly...

Developing countries increasingly use biometric identification technology in hopes of improving the reliability of administrative information and delivering social services more efficiently. This paper exploits the random placement of biometric tracking devices in tuberculosis treatment centers...

This article has been motivated by an observation: the lack of rigor by European bodies when they use scientific terms to address data protection and privacy issues raised by biometric technologies and biometric data. In particular, they improperly use the term ‘biometrics’ to mean at the...
