Upcoming Events

Biometric data use is an interdisciplinary challenge. The focus of this first conference is the discussion of the application of the new legal framework for the processing of biometric data imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, both in theory and in practice. The aim of the conference is to bring various stakeholders together, including the legal and technical academic biometric community, policymakers, governments, businesses and legal professions. Both challenges, best practices and opportunities will be discussed and illustrated.

The Norwegian Biometrics Forum (NBF) is an open platform dedicated to regular exchange of information and experience related to the field of Biometrics. The target of the group is the interdisciplinary discussion between research, technology developers, data privacy experts, governmental agencies and operators of Biometric Systems. In the regular meetings new applications, latest research results and products are presented.

The conference is focused on all technical factors affecting the deployment and use of high performance face recognition applications, including applications, standards, advanced and rapid capture, quality assessment, age and ageing effects, demographic effects, presentation attack detection, non-cooperative uses, accuracy measurement and performance tests.

TRUSTECH encompasses all the secure technologies and applications that are being developed and deployed including new, emerging & disruptive trends.

The event was first held over thirty years ago under the name "Cartes Secure Connexions" to promote the newborn technology of smartcards. In 2016, it is re-named TRUSTECH to better reflect the way the industry and the event have evolved, and its focus on trust-based technologies.

The schedule for TRUSTECH 2018 includes 3 days in which to inform, learn and discover.

This covers digital identity and credentials, new payment mechanisms, biometrics and the greater adoption of AI, which is increasingly being employed in automated threat detection, big data and analytics and so many areas from cybersecurity, to banking and financial services, to retail, to enterprise and smart home.

TRUSTECH is unique in its coverage of all secure and trusted solutions, from smart cards and secure documents through to AI and embedded hardware and software for the IoT.

Join us for this year’s EAB Banking Seminars to debate one of the biggest questions facing FinTech and online services – ‘Do you REALLY know your customers?’

The EAB Banking Seminars are attended by the financial sector and ID industry and will take place between September and December 2018 in Europe’s financial capitals – Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Madrid (2019). We will discuss the latest trends that are helping to improve customer ID security, such as blockchain, AI and smartphone biometrics. We will also share best practice models and assess the impact of new legislation, like GDPR.

This event is for all who are interested in technologies, policies, and applications related to protecting the biometric data. The event in 2019 focuses on the topic "Blockchain and Biometrics".

The Norwegian Biometrics Forum (NBF) is an open platform dedicated to regular exchange of information and experience related to the field of Biometrics. The target of the group is the interdisciplinary discussion between research, technology developers, data privacy experts, governmental agencies and operators of Biometric Systems. In the regular meetings new applications, latest research results and products are presented.

What are the most up-to-date core biometric technologies developed in the field? What is the potential impact of biometrics in forensic investigation and crime prevention? How to detect impersonation attacks and disguise? What can we learn from human perception? What is a biometric recognition system?

This school follows the successful track of the International Summer Schools on Biometrics held since 2003. In this 16^th edition, the courses will mainly focus on new and emerging issues:

1. How Biometrics can deal with emerging applications;
2. How to exploit new biometric technologies in forensic and security applications;
3. Standardization, evaluation and assessment of biometric and forensic applications;
4. Biometrics, Forensic identification and deep learning: What is next?

The courses will provide a clear and in-depth picture on the state-of-the-art in biometric verification/identification technology, both under the theoretical and scientific point of view as well as in diverse application domains.

The lectures will be given by 18 outstanding experts in the field, from both academia and industry.

An advanced feature of this summer school will be some practical sessions to better understand, "hands on", the real potential of today's biometric technologies.

Biometrics and Identity Management are key research topics that are currently investigated in a number of EU-projects running under the Horizon 2020 programme.

Workshop of the Biometrics Working Group of TeleTrusT, the IT Security Association in Germany

EAB is launching the thirteeth European Biometrics Research and Industry Awards. These prestigious awards are granted annually to individuals who have been judged by a panel of internationally respected experts to be making a significant contribution to the field of biometrics research in Europe.

Biometrics provides efficient and reliable solutions to recognize individuals. With increasing number of identity theft and miss-use incidents we do observe a significant fraud in e-commerce and thus growing interests on trustworthiness of person authentication. Nowadays we find biometric applications in areas like border control, national ID cards, e-banking, e-commerce, e-health etc. Large-scale applications such as the European Union SmartBorder Concept, the Visa Information System (VIS) and Unique Identification (UID) in India require high accuracy and also reliability, interoperability, scalability and usability. Many of these are joint requirements also for forensic applications.

Multimodal biometrics combined with fusion techniques can improve recognition performance. Efficient searching or indexing methods can accelerate identification efficiency. Additionally, quality of captured biometric samples can strongly influence the performance. Moreover, mobile biometrics is an emerging area and biometrics based smartphones can support deployment and acceptance of biometric systems.

However, concerns about security and privacy cannot be neglected. The relevant techniques in the area of presentation attack detection (liveness detection) and template protection are about to supplement biometric systems, in order to improve fake resistance, prevent potential attacks such as cross matching, identity theft etc.

The BIOSIG 2019 conference addresses these issues and will present innovations and best practices that can be transferred into future applications.
