BIOSIG 2009: Biometrics and Electronic Signatures - Research and Applications
The working group Biometrics and Electronic Signatures is dedicated to the fundamentals, methods, techniques, processes and implementations used to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of entities that are involved in information, communication and operating systems employing applications that have a need for security, as well as to the related organizational and legal frameworks. In this context, constructive approaches and threat analyses are considered. In order to develop the topics in this context and to link practical experience with academic innovations, the working group BIOSIG workshop focuses on Research and Applications in the area of Biometrics and Electronic Signatures.
The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
- Biometrics: Biometric standards and interoperability, multimodal and multi-biometrics (feature fusion, score-fusion, decision fusion), Comparison-on-Card, fake resistance,
liveness detection, ageing of reference data, template protection, derivation of cryptographic keys from biometrics, remote authentication using biometrics, biometric middleware, user interface design for biometric systems and biometric performance measurement.
- Electronic Signatures and related techniques: Cryptographic foundations, security, efficiency and interoperability of electronic signature techniques (including classical, blind, designated verifier, fail-stop, forward-secure, group, intrusion resilient, ring, threshold, proxy, undeniable signatures and signcryption) and related standards (including XML DSig / XAdES, CMS / CAdES, LTANS-ERS, OASIS-DSS, PKIX etc.).
Further information about the agenda of the workshop can be found here.
The event is expected to host more than 100 stakeholders and technical experts from public administration, industry, science and academia. The registration is open and can be performed online by 7 September 2009, with the payment of a fee.
