Biometrics privacy Technologies and applications

The use of biometric traits for security and secure applications (including personal identification, access control, forensics applications, e-commerce, e-government, and e-health) is receiving an increasing attention. The main reason for such an interest is that biometric features of individuals are tightly bound with their identities. Moreover, they cannot be easily forgotten or lost. Therefore they provide significant potentials in applications where both security and client convenience are needed.
