Good review of biometrics and helpful advice for deployment

A very good and readable book about biometrics for network security. Note the network security part - the coverage is limited to systems that can be used in an everyday business environment. The book could be read by just about anyone, although it does help knowing a little bit about biometrics to start with. There are basically two main parts - the first one describes the different biometric technologies and their strengths and weaknesses. The second part discusses actual testing and deployment using real life examples of what to do and what not to do. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who is actually going to implement a biometric system. Just knowing how the biometrics work is not enough to have a successful deployment. If you want to know the full details of how different biometric algorithms work, this book is probably not for you. The level of detail is just what you would take away from reading the detailed description, which I actually liked. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in network security.
