Privacy and Technologies of Identity : A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation
Privacy and Technologies of Identity: A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation provides an overview of ways in which technological changes raise privacy concerns. It then addresses four major areas of technology: RFID and location tracking technology; biometric technology, data mining; and issues with anonymity and authentication of identity. Many of the chapters are written with the non-specialist in mind, seeking to educate a diverse audience on the "basics" of the technology and the law and to point out the promise and perils of each technology for privacy. The material in this book provides an interface between legal and policy approaches to privacy and technologies that either threaten or enhance privacy.

Biometrics has emerged as a reliable person identification method that can over-come some of the limitations of the traditional automatic personal identificationmethods. With significant advances in biometric technology and a correspondingincrease in the number of applications incorporating biometrics, it is essentialthat we bring together researchers from academia and industry as well as practi-tioners to share ideas, problems and solutions for the development and successfuldeployment of state-of-the-art biometric systems.The International Conference on Biometrics (ICB 2006) followed the success-ful International Conference on Biometric Authentication (ICBA 2004) to facil-itate this interaction. ICB 2006 received a large number of high-quality researchpapers. After a careful review of 192 submissions, 104 papers were acceptedfor presentation.
