Biometric Consortium: Publications & Periodicals

Publications:

In the early days of biometrics, a publication or article on anything "biometric" was cause for celebration (and notation). Recently, we have stopped listing individual publications and articles on biometrics as the sheer number of items would quickly overwhelm our site.

The following entries are selected historical publications and articles on biometrics, which is why some of the articles may no longer be available. The missing entries are here to serve as a historical reference.

Additional information may be located by going to the Periodicals listed at the bottom of this page and searching their content for biometrics and related material.

NOTE: Links that take you to external sites (links that exit the BC site) are noted below with red dots. Blue dots signify internal links. Black dots are historical references.
