16th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group (BIOSIG 2017), 20.-22.09.2017, Darmstadt, Germany

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 2017 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. Submissions (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 accepted as research paper, might be
extended to 12 pages.
Each paper will be subjected of a double blind peer review.
