EURASIP Journal on Information Security welcomes submissions to the new special issue on Advances in Biometrics 2015.
Biometrics is an important authentication technique and replaces traditional authentication based on knowledge and possession in many application scenarios. It involves many techniques from the areas of signal, image, audio, and video processing as well as security and cryptography. Besides the international biometrics conferences IAPR/IEEE ICB and IEEE BTAS, the BIOSIG 2015 conference addressed fundamental issues in biometrics and has presented innovations and best practices that can be transferred into future applications, focusing on the European biometrics ecosystem. The conference was 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 ICT COST Action IC1106, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC), the TeleTrusT-Association, the Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory (NBL), the Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED), the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD and the special interest group BIOSIG of the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI).
Topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- Biometric standards and interoperability
- multimodal and multibiometrics
- security analysis of biometric components or systems
- on card comparison
- fake resistance
- liveness detection
- aging of reference data
- template protection
- de-identification
- user 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
