Biometrics security through middleware
By Shoieb Yunus (EzValidation Inc.)
Summary:
In today’s world, businesses realize the equal importance of digital and physical security. Digital data and physical assets are lost – accidentally or deliberately. Biometrics can increase a company’s ability to protect its data by implementing a more secure mechanism than a password. In this article, the author discusses device secur... (continues)

Using software-configurable processors in biometric applications
By Philip Weaver (Stretch) and Fred Palma (A4Vision)
Summary:
Software-Configurable Processors (SCPs) span the gap between a general purpose processor and a dedicated digital signal processor. The benefits are especially clear for implementing biometric algorithms, which are complex and adaptive. This article describes an architecture for facial recognition, mapping C++ algorithms onto an SCP.
