19^th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group (BIOSIG 2020)

Sep 16, 2020 - Sep 18, 2020 Darmstadt, Germany

Scope & Topics

The 19^th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group (BIOSIG 2020) is 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.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

• Biometric standards and interoperability
• multimodal and multi-biometrics
• security analysis of biometric components or systems
• on-card com-parison, fake resistance, liveness detection
• ging of reference data, template protection
• de-identification
• puser interface design for biometric systems
• biometric performance measurement
• sample quality
• best practices, usability, continuous authentication
• forensics and other emerging applications
• ethical
• legal and socio-technological aspects
• biometrics for public administrations.

Submission of Papers

The BIOSIG 2020 conference addresses these issues and will present innovations and best practices that can be transferred into future applications. The conference is jointly organized by the Competence Center for Applied Security Technology (CAST), the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the European Association for Biometrics (EAB), the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC), the TeleTrusT-Association, the Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory (NBL), the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity (ATHENE), the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD, IET Biometrics Journal and the special interest group BIOSIG of the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI). The conference will be technically co-sponsored by IEEE and papers will be added to IEEE Xplore
