IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Intelligent Biometric Systems for Secure Societies

Recent discourse in security domains points to the emergence of intelligent biometric systems as some of the most potent authentication systems for government agencies, border surveillance, anomaly detection, and medical data protection. New and emerging biometric research spurred scientific debate and empowered innovations in on-line security, e-banking, healthcare, and collaborative spaces, to name a few. This IEEE A CCESS Special Section on “Intelligent Biometric Systems for Secure Societies” focuses on novel biometrics knowledge representation theories, methodologies, applications, and technological implementations, aimed toward ensuring smarter, safer, and more secure societies. Particular emphasis is placed on real-world applications supported by experimental or empirical studies.
