SUMMARY:BIOSIG 2015
DESCRIPTION:14th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interes
 t Group (BIOSIG)\n\nBiometrics provides efficient and reliable solutions to
  recognize individuals. With increasing number of identity theft andmiscues
  incidents we do observe a significant fraud in ecommerce and thus growing 
 interests on trustworthiness of person authentication. Nowadays we find bio
 metric applicationsin areas like border control, national ID cards, e-banki
 ng,e-commerce, e-health etc. Large-scale applications such as theEuropean U
 nion Visa Information System (VIS) and Unique Identification (UID) in India
  require high accuracy and alsoreliability, interoperability, scalability, 
 system reliability andusability. Many of these are joint requirements also 
 for forensic applications.\n\nMultimodal biometrics combined with fusion te
 chniques can improve recognition performance. Efficient searching or indexi
 ngmethods can accelerate identification efficiency. Additionally,quality of
  captured biometric samples can strongly influence the performance. Moreove
 r, mobile biometrics is an emerging area and biometrics based smartphones c
 an support deployment and acceptance of biometric systems.\n\nHowever, conc
 erns about security and privacy cannot be neglected. The relevant technique
 s in the area of presentation attack detection (liveness detection) and tem
 plate protectionare about to supplement biometric systems, in order to impr
 ovefake resistance, prevent potential attacks such as crossmatching, identi
 ty theft etc.\n\nThe BIOSIG 2015 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 Info
 rmation Security (BSI), the European Association for Biometrics (EAB), the 
 ICT COST Action IC1106, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commissio
 n (JRC), the TeleTrusT-Association, the Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory (NB
 L), the Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED), the Fraunh
 ofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD and the special interest 
 group BIOSIG of the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI).\n\n\n\nOrganizin

  (EAB) organizes largest European research conference on September 7-8, 201
 5\n\nOn September 7-8, 2015 Europe’s largest conference on research in the 
 area of Biometrics and Identity Management funded by the European Commissio
 n will take place at the premises of Fraunhofer IGD in Darmstadt, Germany. 
 The second EAB-Research Project Conference 2015 will be co-located with the
  IEEE BIOSIG conference that will take place later that same week.\n\nThe E
 AB and numerous EU FP7 projects namely FIDELITY, FastPass, BEAT, FutureID, 
 MobilePass, Eksistenz, PACS, ORIGINS, ABC4EU, SIIP, INGRESS and HECTOS are 
 jointly organizing the 2nd EAB Research Project Conference (EAB-RPC) to pre
 sent research results and to discuss the benefits of this research for our 
 European society. This second conference will present updates of the projec
 ts introduced in the first conference back in 2014 (see www.eab.org/events/
 program/69 for further information). New projects in the fields of border c
 ontrol, speaker verification, template protection and more will be presente
 d. Experts from the biometric community will report about their results and
  will discuss in a panel the impact of the new EU regulation on privacy and
  data protection specifically regarding biometric research and deployment. 
 Furthermore, a second panel will be devoted to discuss the interaction of b
 iometric research and international standardisation that can be progressed 
 by future research topics in the Horizon2020 research program.\n\nMotivatio
 n: Biometrics and Identity Management are key research topics that are curr
 ently investigated in a variety of EU-projects running under the seventh Fr
 amework program. International research is dealing with innovative solution
 s for secure and privacy compliant biometrics and federated identity manage
 ment. For the second time all major European research projects in the area 
 of Biometrics and Identity Management are being provided a single platform 
 for information exchange and discussion. This will contribute to a stronger
  research community at European level and a stronger position for European 
 R&D in an international context.\n\nFurther information: For the program of

 ference: The European Association for Biometrics (www.eab.org), founded in 
 November 2011 and located in The Netherlands, is a pan – European non – pro
 fit association seeking to advance the proper and beneficial use of biometr
 ics in Europe, taking into account the interests of European citizens, indu
 stry, academia and governments. The EAB is the European platform for biomet
 rics, currently having over 160 members from 35 countries. Driven by develo
 pments in connection with immigration challenges, the requirements of e-pas
 sport implementations and a whole range of emerging commercial applications
 , the EAB fulfils the role of an independent and multi-stakeholder platform
  where stakeholders can meet, exchange information and visions, discuss new
  initiatives and benefit from training and education programs. The stakehol
 der groups represented by the EAB include operators, governments, industry,
  research, academia and citizens.\n\nFor more information about the EAB ple
