| Abstract |
This webinar will provide an overview of the study of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. I will present the fundamentals of biometrics and biometric systems. The course will delve into why biometrics is a solution for security and authentication. Face, gait and ECG based biometrics will be covered. Biometrics and encryption will also be discussed, and the course will conclude with a discussion of future steps.
After completing you should be able to develop an understanding of:
-
biometrics fundamentals and systems
-
biometrics security and authentication
-
face and gait recognition
