SUMMARY:BIOSIG 2019
DESCRIPTION:Biometrics provides efficient and reliable solutions to recogni
 ze individuals. With increasing number of identity theft and miss-use incid
 ents we do observe a significant fraud in e-commerce and thus growing inter
 ests on trustworthiness of person authentication.\n\nNowadays we find biome
 tric applications in areas like border control, national ID cards, e-bankin
 g, e-commerce, e-health etc. Large-scale applications such as the European 
 Union SmartBorder Concept, the Visa Information System (VIS) and Unique Ide
 ntification (UID) in India require high accuracy and also reliability, inte
 roperability, scalability and usability. Many of these are joint requiremen
 ts also for forensic applications.\n\nMultimodal biometrics combined with f
 usion techniques can improve recognition performance. Efficient searching o
 r indexing methods can accelerate identification efficiency. Additionally, 
 quality of captured biometric samples can strongly influence the performanc
 e. Moreover, mobile biometrics is an emerging area and biometrics based sma
 rtphones can support deployment and acceptance of biometric systems.\n\nHow
 ever, concerns about security and privacy cannot be neglected. The relevant
  techniques in the area of presentation attack detection (liveness detectio
 n) and template protection are about to supplement biometric systems, in or
 der to improve fake resistance, prevent potential attacks such as cross mat
 ching, identity theft etc. The 18th International Conference of the Biometr
 ics Special Interest Group (BIOSIG 2019) conference addresses these issues 
 and will present innovations and best practices that can be transferred int
 o future applications.\n\n Organizing Commitee\n\n 	 		 			 			General Chai
