Biometrics Research
http://biometrics.cse.msu.edu/
This site, run by Michigan State University’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering, is a good beginning point for learning more about biometrics. It includes a brief but informative overview of biometrics, and descriptions of various biometric technologies, such as fingerprint matching, hand geometry, voice recognition, and so on. The “Projects” and “Publications” lists are limited to work by MSU people, but there is also a short list of external web links leading to biometric companies, consulting firms, and research centers.

International Biometric Group
http://www.ibgweb.com/index.html
International Biometric Group LLC is a biometrics consulting firm which considers itself to be “vendor-independent and technology-neutral, allowing it to objectively and independently assess companies, technologies, products, and projects.” Of special interest at IBG’s web site is the “Research and Reports” section, where IBG provides information on biometrics basics, specific biometric technologies and their applications, accuracy and performance, as well as vendor and industry information. Users must register with the site to gain access to the full reports, but registration is free and is activated immediately.

Biometrics Catalog
http://www.biometricscatalog.org/
This is a database of biometric technologies maintained by the U.S. Department of Justice. Users can search for information about biometric products by biometric type, keyword, and date, as well as vendor category (commercially available products, products in government testing, products in non-government testing, etc.). Vendors can add information about their products, but forms that do not contain complete contact information will not be posted to the site.
