<\/a>Description:\u00a0<\/b>Starting with an overview of biometrics, you\u2019ll learn the various uses and applications of biometrics in fintech, buildings, border control, and many other fields. You\u2019ll understand the characteristics of an optimal biometric system and then review different types of errors and discover the benefits of multi-factor authentication. You\u2019ll also get to grips with analyzing a biometric system for usability and accuracy and understand the process of implementation, testing, and deployment, along with addressing privacy concerns. The book outlines the importance of protecting biometric data by using encryption and shows you which factors to consider and how to analyze them before investing in biometric technologies.<\/p>\nGo to this book<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/p>\nBook Title:\u00a0Solving Identity Management in Modern Applications: Demystifying OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML 2.0<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\nOur Take:\u00a0<\/strong>Yvonne Wilson has had many roles in the software industry related to security and identity management as a developer, security architect, customer success engineer.
