Exploring the growing interest in biometric user authentication, this book delves into the technology behind automated identity verification. It highlights the significance of physiological and behavioral traits in accurately determining or confirming individual identities. The work addresses the ongoing efforts of scientists and developers to enhance these techniques, reflecting their importance in various sectors, including science, industry, and society.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the COST 2101 International Workshop, BIOID 2011, held in Brandenburg (Havel), Germany, in March 2011. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and are completed by an introduction on COST. The papers are organized in topical main sections on theory and systems, handwriting authentication, speaker authentication, face recognition, multibiometric authentication, and on biometrics and forensics.
