Biometrics : Security and Privacy

(BSP 2008)

December 13 ~ 15, 2008, Hainan Island, China.


In Conjunction with SecTech 2008

Overview

Biometric technology has been adopted in important elements of the national infrastructure, such as electronic passports and immigration control systems. As telemedicine systems and online banking systems are being shifted from client servers to web-based environments, the use of biometric applications on web platforms is increasing. In order to provide these services, biometric information security technology is needed.

The threat of invasion of privacy and of the illegal appropriation of information both increase with the expansion of the biometrics service environment to open systems. However, while certificates or smart cards can easily be cancelled and reissued if found to be missing, there is no way to recover the unique biometric information of an individual following a security breach.

The special session is intended to provide a forum for researchers, industry, and users of biometric systems interested in discussion and advancement of the state of the art in biometrics.


Topics include but are not limited to the following:

- Privacy Aspects of Biometric Systems
- Template Protection and Revocable References
- Attacks on Biometric Systems
- Biometric Authentication mechanism
- Applicable Biometric Systems to National Infrastructure
