Topics in Biometric Human-Machine Interaction Security

Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and statistically analyzing biological data. As applied to computing and humanmachine interaction (HMI), biometric applications deal with recognizing the individual or deciphering the individual?s conversation (e.g., in the form of voice commands or gestures) or collecting and analyzing data regarding the individual?s health and emotional status.These applications inherently deal with personally identifiable information (PII), which ultimately has to be stored somewhere, retrieved at some point of time, processed, and probably stored again, perhaps over a wireless channel.
