Module designed by Module designed and coordinated by Max Snijder, President, Biometric Expertise Group and Raymond Veldhuis, Professor, University of Twente

In order to understand the possibilities of biometrics in real life use, it is important to know the basics of the technology and its underlying principles. This biometrics module paves the way from basic understanding to the practical use of biometrics. This includes not only the technical part, but it also covers the legal and business aspects that are necessary for the design and deployment of successful implementations.
