A note on Töeplitz matrix-based model in biometrics

This paper presents a summary of the work presented as an invited paper at MIT 2008 International Conference. The work comprises a general note on the problems we meet in our everyday contact with biometrics and their different systems. A particular attention is paid to the anti-spoofing approaches in having a safe and convenient system of human verification for personal identification. A conclusion is drawn that neither stand-alone nor multi-system Biometrics are ideal and convenient to people for their daily necessity of being identified. The author suggests a system that may seem practical in banks and cash machines, for example, in which a biometric system is used (fingerprint or face identification for example) in conjunction with the popular means of account securing, the PIN code.
