Abstract

There is today a great need for reliable methods to securely verify a human computer user. Passwords are no longer sufficient in many applications. For a sound choice of an identity verification method one must be able to objectively compare the candidates. This can be accomplished only with a general description of the process which is valid for all methods and with a common way of measuring performance. This paper presents a general model of what actually happens in equipment for identity verification. It also gives criteria for good descriptions of the reliability of the equipment in terms of the possibility of a false decision.
