Title: Bio in the Statistics of Biometric Authentication?
Author(s): Peter Imrey*+
Companies: Cleveland Clinic Foundation
Address: 9500 Euclid Avenue, Wb4, Cleveland, OH, 44195, United States
Keywords: biometric identification ; biometric authentication ; security biometrics ; false discovery rate
Abstract:

To the International Biometric Society, "Biometrics" means "biological measurement" from the Greek "development of statistical and mathematical methods applicable to data analysis problems in the biological sciences." To the Biometrics Consortium, Biometrics Catalog, and International Association for Biometrics, "Biometrics" means "automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic." The importance of statistical methods to biometrics by any definition is unquestionable. Indeed, sophisticated and innovative statistical methods are being applied to image analysis and pattern recognition aspects of biometric authentication technologies by statisticians, engineers, and computer scientists. However, visible BIOstatistical effort in biometric authentication research appears low. This talk addresses whether the specifically biostatistical community might gain stimulus from and add value to the biometric authentication enterprise.
