As one of the most promising biometric technologies, vein pattern recognition (VPR) is quickly taking root around the world and may soon dominate applications where people focus is key. Among the reasons for VPR's growing acceptance and use: it is more accurate than many other biometric methods, it offers greater resistance to spoofing, it focuses on people and their privacy, and has few negative cultural connotations.

Vein Pattern Recognition: A Privacy-Enhancing Biometric provides a comprehensive and practical look at biometrics in general and at vein pattern recognition specifically. It discusses the emergence of this reliable but underutilized technology and evaluates its capabilities and benefits. The author, Chuck Wilson, an industry veteran with more than 25 years of experience in the biometric and electronic security fields, examines current and emerging VPR technology along with the myriad applications of this dynamic technology. Wilson explains the use of VPR and provides an objective comparison of the different biometric methods in use today-including fingerprint, eye, face, voice recognition, and dynamic signature verification.

Highlighting current VPR implementations, including its widespread acceptance and use for identity verification in the Japanese banking industry, the text provides a complete examination of how VPR can be used to protect sensitive information and secure critical facilities. Complete with best-practice techniques, the book supplies invaluable guidance on selecting the right combination of biometric technologies for specific applications and on properly implementing VPR as part of an overall security system.

Industry Reviews
! a clear road map for the past, present, and future of biometrics ... a practical guide to biometrics in a clear and easy to understand form, even for non-technicians. This thoroughly researched book covers the main technologies in use today and explains the principles of operation and appropriate uses of each. ! provides significant details for each system. ... Read this book and get a glimpse of how bright the future can be if we are all empowered rather than encumbered by technology -- Kevin R. Walsh, Senior Vice President R&D, Oracle Corporation, Asia Pacific Division Chapter Five is especially insightful, detailing the various uses of VPR biometrics and how it has seen significant use in Japan, especially in the financial sector for identity verification. ! an excellent reference for anyone who wants to get a handle on the various types of biometric technologies. -- Ben Rothke, CISSP, CISA, in Security Management
