Brief Description: "This book presents chapters on continuous authentication using biometrics, covering the conceptual framework underlying continuous authentication and presenting detailed processing models for various types of practical continuous authentication applications"--Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; This book presents chapters on continuous authentication using biometrics, covering the conceptual framework underlying continuous authentication and presenting detailed processing models for various types of practical continuous authentication applications--; Provided by publisher. Publisher Marketing: User authentication is the process of verifying whether the identity of a user is genuine prior to granting him or her access to resources or services in a secured environment. Traditionally, user authentication is performed statically at the point of entry of the system; however, continuous authentication (CA) seeks to address the shortcomings of this method by providing increased session security and combating insider threat. Continuous Authentication Using Biometrics: Data, Models, and Metrics presents chapters on continuous authentication using biometrics that have been contributed by the leading experts in this recent, fast growing research area. These chapters collectively provide a thorough and concise introduction to the field of biometric-based continuous authentication. The book covers the conceptual framework underlying continuous authentication and presents detailed processing models for various types of practical continuous authentication applications.
