Biosec

Recent investigations carried out in Europe and the USA (BioVision, BKnC) identified the main

deficiencies that yielded to a certain underdevelopment of Biometrics with respect to its

potentialities and to ten-years-ago goals. BioSec will address most of these open issues and

will provide the basis for improving and developing new sensors, algorithms, procedures and

applications, towards the AmI Space, with new security requirements in an open environment.

In particular, research will be focused on these issues: scientific/technological (such as 3D biometrics and aliveness detection); user-centred (acceptance, usability and legal framework); and application-related (such as secure interoperable biometric tokens and remote authentication).
