Beschreibung
2014 International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group (BIOSIG)
Biometrics provides efficient and reliable solutions to recognize individuals. With increasing number of identity theft and miscues 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 Visa Information System (VIS) and Unique Identification (UID) in India require high accuracy and also reliability, interoperability, scalability, system reliability 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 smartphone 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 2014 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 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). The conference will be technically co-sponsored by IEEE and papers will be added to IEEE Xplore.
We invite stakeholders and technical experts to submit original research papers. Industrial contributions presenting lessons learned from practical usage, case study, recent results of prototypes, are also welcomed. Submissions should be full papers (max. 12 pages) in English. Each paper will be subjected of a double blind peer review.
The topics of the conference include but are not limited to: Biometric standards and interoperability, multimodal and multi-biometrics (sensor, modality, sample, feature, score and decision fusion), security analysis of biometric components or systems, on-card comparison, fake resistance, liveness detection, aging of reference data, template protection, derivation of cryptographic keys from biometrics, biometric middleware, 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.

25 years of biometrics : from small forensic systems to large scale AFIS and commercial applications
The presentation will come back on the past 25 years of biometric systems and on the many changes that happened during this period. Applications for biometrics have changed a lot in scope, going from dedicated usage for forensic purposes to the commercial applications for payment or access to the cloud. They have also changed a lot in scale, starting with limited number of users and reasonably small databases (a few million people) in the 90's to much larger systems today, with hundreds of millions of users like in the Indian UID project or in the deployment on smartphones. The talk will give a perspective on the underlying technical challenges that had to be overcome, and how advances were made possible through technological improvements in the core areas of sensors and algorithms, but also in related area like computer science, consumer electronics or systems architecture. It will also highlight some of the remaining challenges and on current technologies that will act as the new enablers in the coming years.
Jean-Christophe is the VP, Research & Technology for Morpho. He has been leading Morpho Biometric research activity for more than 14 years and has been involved in all of Morpho's breakthroughs in biometrics of the past 20 years.

Continuing Issues in Biometric Testing and Reporting
ISO/IEC 19795-1:2006, “Biometric Testing and Reporting – Part 1: Principles and Framework” was created in response to the following observed need.
The purpose of this part of ISO/IEC 19795 is to present the requirements and best scientific practices for conducting technical performance testing. This is necessary because even a short review of the technical literature on biometric device testing over the last two decades or more reveals a wide variety of conflicting and contradictory testing protocols. Even single organizations have produced multiple tests, each using a different test method. Test protocols have varied not only because test goals and available data are different from one test to the next, but also because no standard has existed for protocol creation.
Eight years after adoption, this standard is now undergoing an update, but it appears from the recent literature that little has changed. Test protocols continue to be conflicting and contradictory and reported test results are difficult or impossible to compare. The root cause is that our understanding of automated human recognition (“biometrics”) is fragmented at the deepest levels, even within single organizations. In this talk, we will explore the divisive issues that prevent test reports from being “commensurate” in the sense of allowing technical performance results from two reports to be compared in a meaningful way. We will specifically address closed-set testing and "Rank k accuracy", testing from single session data, "confidence intervals", attempts to determine the “probability of a match”, Equal Error Rates, and setting thresholds to minimize loss functions.
Jim Wayman is a research administrator in the Office of Graduate Studies and Research at San Jose State University. He received the Ph.D. degree in engineering in 1980 from the University of California, and has worked continuously in the field of automated human recognition since 1984. In the 1980s, under contract to the U.S. Department of Defense, he invented and developed a biometric authentication technology based on the acoustic resonances of the human head. He joined San Jose State University in 1995 to direct the Biometric Identification Research Program, serving as Director of the U.S. National Biometric Test Center from 1997-2000. He is the co-editor of Biometric Systems (Springer, London, 2005), a Fellow of the British Institution of Engineering and Technology, a Principal UK Expert (PUKE) of the British Standards Institution (BSI) national body to the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37 standards committee, a "technical assessor" in the (US) NIST Voluntary Laboratory Assessment Program, and international editor of ISO/IEC 19794-13 standard on voice data format. He represents BSI on the JTC1 Information Technology Vocabulary Maintenance Team. Professor Jim previously served as a member of the U.S. National Academies of Science/National Research Council (NRC) "Whither Biometrics?" and "Authentication Technologies and their Implications for Privacy" committees and Panel on Information Technology. He holds 4 patents in speech processing and has served as a paid biometrics advisor to 9 national governments.

Unconstrained Face Recognition: Challenges & Opportunities
In this talk, I will present our biometrics research in the areas of 3D face (and ear) recognition, 3D-aided 2D Face Recognition, 2D-2D Face Recognition, and profile-based face recognition. First, I will highlight the main element of our approach, which is an Annotated Face Model (AFM) to describe the facial data. The AFM is fitted to the data using a subdivision-based deformable model framework. The deformed model captures the details of an individual’s face and represents this 3D geometry information in an efficient 2D structure by utilizing the model’s parameterization. Our 3D-3D face recognition software ranked first in the 3D-shape section of the 2007 Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) organized by NIST, while our 3D-2D method outperforms the state of the art 2D face recognition methods. Next, I will highlight our progress in addressing critical challenges including low resolution data, indoor/outdoor illumination, accurate landmark and pose estimation, cross-resolution matching, and score normalization.

FNFIQ2.0 – new Fingerprint Sample Quality Metrics
Quality measurement can help improving biometric system accuracy and efficiency during the capture process (as a control-loop variable to initiate reacquisition), in database maintenance (sample update), in enterprise-wide quality assurance surveying and in invocation of quality-directed processing of samples in multimodal systems.
Biometric quality analysis is a technical challenge because it is most helpful when the quality measures reflect the performance sensitivities of one or more target biometric comparison subsystems. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) addressed this problem in 2004 when it issued the first NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) algorithm. With advances in fingerprint technology since 2004, an update to NFIQ was developed by NIST and the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in the NFIQ2.0 project. The new NFIQ2.0 is again implemented as open‐source software with the intent to be used in large governmental and commercial deployments.
The keynote talk will provide a the preliminary findings of the second generation NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ2.0) algorithm. NFIQ2.0 aims to satisfy the need of industry and operators of mobile capture devices for a new quality assessment of fingerprint images.
Elham Tabassi is a researcher at National Institute of Standards and Technology working on various biometric research projects including biometric sample quality, fusion, and performance assessment. She is the principal architect of NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) which has become the defacto standard for measuring fingerprint image quality and is currently deployed in some of US Government and EU biometric applications. She is the editor of several international biometric standards including biometric sample quality; data interchange formats for biometric data, and conformance to data interchange formats. She received ANSI¹s 2012 Next Generation Award, the Department of Commerce Gold Medal in 2003 for her work on biometric system performance assessment, and two Bronze Medals in 2007 and 2010 for her works on biometric sample quality and development, evaluation, and standardization of iris image records in biometric systems respectively. Her research interests are in biometric sample quality, pattern recognition, data mining, and signal processing.
