The book on “User Authentication Methods and Security Models” is a simple course on user authentication methods. Authentication is one of the primary principles of security. Biometric authentication is a type of user authentication that relies on the biological characteristics of the individuals. The biological characteristics are unique and are efficient in verifying a person’s identity effectively. Biometric systems are automated methods for verifying the identity of an individual. Government organizations and non government organizations use biometric systems to verify the individuals. They are accurate and unique. However, they are also subject to attacks and compromise. This book focuses on biometric systems, their categories and the possible security threats. Security models prescribe the methods to implement security in an organization. They help the organizations to develop security policies. Different security models and security mechanisms are dealt briefly and it acts as a ready reference for the organizations to explore and implement.
