SUMMARY:BIOSIG 2017
DESCRIPTION:16th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interes
 t Group\n\nBiometrics provides efficient and reliable solutions to recogniz
 e individuals. With increasing number of identity theft and miss-use incide
 nts we do observe a significant fraud in e-commerce and thus growing intere
 sts 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 Unio
 n SmartBorder Concept, the Visa Information System (VIS) and Unique Identif
 ication (UID) in India require high accuracy and also reliability, interope
 rability, scalability and usability. Many of these are joint requirements a
 lso for forensic applications.\n\nMultimodal biometrics combined with fusio
 n techniques can improve recognition performance. Efficient searching or in
 dexing methods can accelerate identification efficiency. Additionally, qual
 ity of captured biometric samples can strongly influence the performance. M
 oreover, mobile biometrics is an emerging area and biometrics based smartph
 ones can support deployment and acceptance of biometric systems.\n\nHowever
 , concerns about security and privacy cannot be neglected. The relevant tec
 hniques in the area of presentation attack detection (liveness detection) a
 nd template protection are about to supplement biometric systems, in order 
 to improve fake resistance, prevent potential attacks such as cross matchin
 g, identity theft etc.\n\nThe BIOSIG 2017 conference addresses these issues
  and will present innovations and best practices that can be transferred in
 to future applications. The conference is jointly organized by the Competen
 ce Center for Applied Security Technology (CAST), the German Federal Office
  for Information Security (BSI), the European Association for Biometrics (E
 AB), the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC), the TeleTr
 usTAssociation, the Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory (NBL), the Center for R
 esearch in Security and Privacy (CRSIP), the Fraunhofer Institute for Compu
 ter Graphics Research IGD, IET Biometrics Journal and the special interest 
 group BIOSIG of the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI). The conference i
 s technically co-sponsored by IEEE and papers will be added to IEEE Xplore.
 \n\nWe invite stakeholders and technical experts to submit original researc
 h papers. Industrial contributions presenting lessons learnt from practical
  usage, case study, recent results of prototypes, are also welcomed. Submis
 sions (max. 8 pages) should be in English. Each paper will be subjected of 
 a double blind peer review. Note that those contributions, which will be ac
 cepted as research paper, might be extended to 12 pages.\n\n\n\nOrganizing
