Abstract

Document security is an increasingly importantelement in the multi-faceted discipline ofdocument processing, and authentication ofindividual identity will play an increasinglyimportant future role in relation to questions ofdocument ownership, identity andconfidentiality. Biometrics-based techniques areemerging as key elements in the drive to addresssecurity and confidentiality in an effective way,yet past experience suggests that there are manypractical issues yet to be resolved if biometrictechnologies are to fulfill their potential in thedocument processing field. This paper addressessome aspects of biometric processing which arebecoming increasing priorities, and suggestshow a greater engagement of the documentprocessing community can help to bring aboutrefinements to existing approaches to biometricidentity checking.
