Chapter 35 Title: Written on the Body: Biometrics and

Identity

Quote: “Biometrics is often described as ‘the next big thing in information technology’.” Expectations: I expect to learn more about biometrics and its importance to information technology. Book Review: This chapter generally discussed about biometrics. It is about the new invented

client identification system for ATM or the Automatic Teller

Machines for banks and institutes. It was also made for other electronic transactions in computer. ATMs were generated by inputting your password before making any money transactions. Identity is very important in biometric identification techniques for security of everyone’s account. Van Kralingen made a discussion about the importance and difference between determination of identity and verification of identity. Determination of identity is about the real identity of a person while verification of identity is verifying if the person is the owner. Things I have learned: I have learned many things about biometrics and its importance especially its two kinds of distinctions which are determination of identity and verification of identity.
