Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"This book is an anthology of state-of-the-art research papers that evolved from the BioSecure Network of Excellence (NoE) project, supported by the European Commission. . This book is a fascinating treatise on a topic of enormous importance and interest in today's complex online world. It is well written, rigorous, and identifies open-source reference software, benchmarking databases, and protocols. It is intended as a reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in the biometrics field. As such, it is extremely valuable for the intended audience." (Charles K. Davis, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2009)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
