BioID 2011

The Biometric ID Management Workshop ( BioID 2011 ) is the Third International Workshop organised by COST Action 2101. COST Action 2101 is focused on “Biometrics for Identity Documents and Smart Cards ( BIDS )”. The BioID 2011 will be held in the city of Brandenburg , Germany , very close to the well-connected capital region of Germany, Berlin . Venue for this workshop will be Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences.

The workshop will include keynote speeches by renowned scientists covering various aspects of the state of the art, and a number of oral sessions covering the contributed papers. Paper submissions will undergo peer review and accepted contributions will be published under Springer LNCS series. Extended versions of workshop paper submissions may be submitted to a Special Issue of the EURASIP Journal on Information Security, as planned by the COST 2101 action.

CryptoBiometrics for Enhanced Trusted Identity Management: Dreams & Reality

The TURBINE project is developing a technology that aims to transform a description of fingerprints through crypto-biometrics techniques. The transformation result can only be re-generated by the person with the fingerprints and the result does not reveal any information about the original sample. Applying such outcomes on Identity Management schemes, TURBINE paves the way to mechanisms which combine the legitimate anonymity required by citizen and the trusted authentication expected by service providers.

Dreams & Reality is the meaning of this two-day-workshop which will be held on 17 and 18 January 2011 at the International Auditorium , in Brussels, Belgium. Both days will compare expectations with the current state-of-the-art.

The first session of the workshop targets a scientific audience which is looking for a worldwide vision of on-going research on biometrics transformation for cryptographic, secure protocols dedicated to privacy enhancing, security assessment and accuracy evaluation. The dialogue with experts coming around the world will give a clear vision on current capacities and limits of crypto-biometrics.

The second session of the workshop targets the biometrics stakeholders&a cute; community. Identity Management for this 21st century must satisfied citizen´ s requirements: the legitimate privacy protection and their smart identity recognition. Crypto-biometrics seems to offer a tool within the future Identity Management architecture. The session will aim to bring a clear vision of what the current techniques may bring in terms of security, accuracy and trust to citizen.

Dreams & Reality of crypto-biometrics for trusted Identity Management will definitively be clarified during these two days thanks to the contributions of world class specialists and the outcomes of the European project TURBINE.

Please, go through the different sections of the workshop for more detailed information on this two-day-event and for registering on-line.

Workshop on Privacy and Security for Biometrics

The workshop will be held at the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands on May 10-11, 2010.

The main purpose of the workshop is to bring together people working in the areas of privacy and security in biometrics, to review current state of the art, and to identify key future research issues.

The contributors are asked to present the activity they carry out within the areas of interest of the workshop, either by presenting a review of their main contributions to the field or by presenting unpublished results of their research.

Unpublished contributions presented at the workshop will be considered for publication in a Special Issue, to be announced during the workshop, of a major international Journal.

7th Int.l Summer School on Bometrics

Deadline to submit the application to the 7th Int.l Summer School on Biometrics.

http://biometrics. uniss.it

The school will be held in Alghero, Italy, from June 7th to 11th 2010. The main topic of next year's school is "Forensics, Security and Remote Biometrics" .

This school follows the successful International Summer Schools on Biometrics held since 2003, but with a different target. In this 7^th edition, the courses will mainly focus on new and emerging issues in biometrics:

· How to exploit new technologies in forensics and in security application at a distance;

· Identity management in new and emerging multimodal biometric technologies;

· Standardization, evaluation and assessment of biometric applications.

The courses will provide a clear and in-depth picture on the state-of-the-art in biometric verification/ident ification 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. Emphasis will be given to evaluation, standardization and to define the maturity of technology for the deployment of biometrics in a wide range of applications.
