Beschreibung
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.
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 smartphones 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 2018 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 Center for Research in Security and Privacy (CRSIP), 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.
We invite stakeholders and technical experts to submit original research papers. Industrial contributions presenting lessons learnt from practical usage, case study, recent results of prototypes, are also welcomed.
Call for Papers

FRONTEX
Implementation and operational Impact of Biometric Systems for Border Control
Abstract
European border management is currently undergoing significant transformation and facing new and evolving challenges. Biometric technology plays a significant role in enabling and facilitating more modern, effective and efficient border management in the Schengen area. The existing and future information systems in the EU for border management and internal security relies on biometric data an interoperability.
The use of biometric systems for border control constitutes operational and technical challenges. It changes the border checks process, has a significant impact on day-to-day operations and creates new risks and vulnerabilities.
Frontex supports Member States in harmonised implementation and operationalisation of new systems at external borders by developing capability tools such as best practices, guidelines, risk management framework and training, just to name a few

Rasa Karbauskaite joined Frontex Research and Development Unit in 2006. She works as a Senior Research Officer and is leading the Harmonisation of the EU Border Control Capacities project which among other objectives focuses on development of standards and capability tools for border control. Previously she managed the Future of Border Checks and Automated Border Control solutions projects at Frontex. In the past, she lead the BIOPASS I and II studies primarily focused on application of biometric technology for border control, in particular, implementation of ABC solutions in Europe and outside it.
Since 2010, she was also leading the ABC Working Group tasked to elaborate best practice guidelines for ABC and to serve as a forum for sharing operational and technical experience pertaining to ABC. The results include development of Best Practice Operational and Technical Guidelines for ABC and of harmonised trainings on ABC system including on vulnerability assessment and testing.

NIST
Results of the Face Recognition Vendor Test 2018
Abstract
FRVT 2018 is being conducted to assess state-of-the-art face recognition accuracy. In April 2014, NIST Interagency Report 8009 documented accuracy of algorithms supplied to NIST in October 2013 applied to identification of cooperative mugshot-style images. The best result, for an NEC algorithm, was a rank 1 miss rate of 4.1% (FNIR = 0.041, N = 1,600,000, T = 0, single image enrollment), with the next best developer at 9.1%. Re-running the identical experiment with February 2018 algorithms has yielded a miss rate below 0.4%, with algorithms from 16 of 32 developers beating the 2013 NEC benchmark. This remarkable improvement, obtained on images with imperfect ISO/IEC 19794-5 conformance, shows that the new generation of CNN-based algorithms have been adopted by developers and should replace the operationally installed base. The question, advanced as CNN results first appeared in the literature, of whether they would demonstrate discrimination ability – key for large N – in addition to their famous invariance properties (pose, illumination etc.) is also addressed. FRVT 2018 includes results for N up to 12 million and for high-threshold, low false positive identification rates (FPIR below 0.001). These show large, but reduced, gains since 2013. The study includes results also for wild, webcam and surveillance images.
Implementations vary: a wide range of performance remains across the industry, with accuracy spanning more than an order of magnitude. Speed varies greatly also, with template generation and search times varying by one and two orders of magnitude respectively. A few algorithms demonstrate search durations that grow very sub-linearly with N, but at the expense of initially building fast-search data structures. The FRVT 2018 will document effects of image-specific and subject-specific covariates on accuracy, including age, ageing, sex and race. The results will be previewed and contributed to the ISO/IEC 22116 project on differential impacts of demographics in biometrics.

Patrick Grother is a computer scientist at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). First employed there in 1990, he has supervised a team of six biometrics researchers since 2007 assisting a number of US Government agencies on research, development and evaluation of biometric. Since 2000, his work has been exclusively in biometrics, particularly on the evaluation of face, iris and fingerprint recognition algorithms. He leads the IREX, FRVT and FIVE evaluations of iris and face recognition technologies that support biometrics in national scale identity management, and which provide quantitative support to standards developed in SC 37. His research interests include performance metrics, image quality, the zoo, scalability, permanence, vulnerabilities and fusion. His standards activities are in testing and reporting, data formats, image quality. He serves as acting chairman of SC37

The Coming of Age of Presentation Attack Detection
Abstract
“Presentation attacks” are attacks at a biometric recognition data capture sensor which interfere with its normal operation. Such attacks could include artefacts with biometric characteristics such as printouts, image/video display, or reproductions made of gelatin, glue, silicon, or plastic. Software and hardware-based “presentation attack detection (PAD)” components have been developed to reduce this vulnerability. Over the last twenty years of research and development, it has been more commonly termed spoofing and the methods used to detect spoofs have been called liveness detection. Biometric recognition systems which include PAD are coming of age with wide-spread commercialization. This is motivated by the recognition of the need to minimize this vulnerability as biometric technology explodes particularly in the consumer marketplace. This talk gives an overview of this field, describes vocabulary formalized by the ISO standard for biometric presentation attack detection, and discusses evaluating the performance of systems which incorporate methods to detect and reject presentation attacks. Some considerations for the future of presentation attack detection are discussed.
