Abstract
The rapid rise of cloud computing technology marks the next wave of enterprise information technology, catering up a market demand of a digitized economy to deliver traditional utilities such as electricity, gas, water, to name a few. The tremendous benefits of cloud computing technologies are being leveraged by companies of all sizes, leading lots of novel concepts and implementations, such as Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, Storage as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service. In this chapter we give a survey on leveraging cloud-based resources for automated biometric identification, i.e., Biometrics as a Service (BAAS). In particular we present a comprehensive state-of-the-art cloud-based biometrics technologies for identification and authentication and then investigate on new systems, frameworks, and technologies developed by the community from the perspective of BAAS.
