Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel application on grid, the biometrics grid, to promote the development of both biometrics technology and grid computing. The biometrics grid aims to overcome/resolve some main problems of existing biometric technology using grid computing. The most important service provided by the biometrics grid is an algorithm testbed for biometrics researchers on single biometric or multimodal biometrics. We give a case of two respective biometrics recognition processes in voiceprint and face on grid to show that it is feasible in deploying different biometrics applications on a testbed for performance evaluation.
