Usability of Biometric Systems

This chapter describes how the biometrics group at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology applied usability testing to improve the performance of government biometric systems. It provides case studies that illustrate the scientific rigor of the research methods and the impact of human factors on fielded biometric systems and offers guidelines for designing biometric systems and integrating biometric devices into systems.
