Opis

Over the past couple of decades, there has been asignificant change in the way people use internet andwireless connections. Not only are they being usedfor information gathering and connectivity, but alsofor financial transactions and bill payments.Bluetooth has emerged as a popular wirelesscommunication protocol. With the growing ease ofcommunications, the threat posed by hackers andimpostors has also increased. There is an urgent needto protect privacy of the users at all levels.Biometrics authentication has proved to be one of themost robust security implementation systems. Thisbook tries to combine the biometrics system withBluetooth protocol for a secure wireless connection.The book describes a unique approach for utilizingextracted fingerprint features, into Bluetoothpairing key. Based on translational and rotationalinvariant features, this book discusses a system forinter-sample and intra-sample fingerprintrecognition, based on a threshold value. Thisthreshold value was a derivative of Bluetooth pairingkey data developed from the biometrics data. Also thebook should serve as a reference for Bluetooth andBiometrics study.
