Transcript A proposal for structured activities in Biometric identity

BioSecure :
A Network of Excellence
on Biometric identity
authentication
B. Dorizzi, GET-INT, France
G. Chollet, GET-ENST, Paris
BioSecure : Objectives
Federate the teams involved in the
biometric field
Proposal for a NoE with the following
objectives :
Identify and meet the scientific and technical
challenges in the Biometric field
Explore non technological aspects of biometrics
such as security v.s. privacy, acceptability,
reliability, impact on society and ethical aspects
Some specific Objectives :
Reference algorithms for most of the
Biometric modalities
Evaluation protocols on publically available
databases
Fusion of modalities
4 weeks residential workshop in sept. 2005
General approach foreseen
Collaborative research program
Creation of a European development and
evaluation platform for the Technological
Research
Creation of a European Certification Center and
usage observatory
Support technology : integration on smart-card,
PDA etc…
Citizen awareness
 Need and Relevance
 Commercial products still present some defects :
Performance, Variability, User Acceptance, Sensor
Variability
 European efforts are disseminated
 Europe has usage and legislation particularities,
cultural diversity
 Network

Initiator : GET, 25 partners of COST 275, 12 other
academic partners, 20 Industrial and end user partners :
ST-Microelectronics, France Telecom, Bouygues Telecom,
Gemplus, OPSIS, ELRA/ELDA, ORGA, etc…
• Integration
–
Contribution to standardization : Databases and Evaluation
–
Federation of most of the 4th and 5th PCRD actions in biometrics
–
Subnetworks organization / e-communication
• Links with :
–
IP: IRISEP (Iris-based verification) initiated by TRT-France,
–
Personal Trust Device” , coordinated by IMEC and Gemplus/France,
–
MOSES, coordinated by INFORMA/Italy,
–
ICAF “Identity Contol with Automatic Face Recognition”,
coordinated by ZN vision, Germany
4th and 5th PCRD actions
in Biometrics
COST 275
IST projects co-initiated by members of this
consortium:
 M2VTS (ACTS, 1995-1998) Multimodal Verification for Telesurveillance and
Security Applications
 BANCA (IST-1999-n°1159) - Biometric Access Control for Networked and eCommerce Applications
 VIRSBS: Visual Intelligent Recognition for Secure Banking Services
Some partners are (or were) also involved in other
EC projects :
MUHCI (RTN, 2000-2003)
Multimodal Human Computer Interaction,
EAGLES , CAVE, PICASSO, ECVision ( IST Project 35454), SAFE : Secure
Access Front End (TRIAL Start-Up -2000-2002), MTM (speaker verification),
BIOTEST
Partners
Main academic actors in the field
Must satisfy excellence criteria :
publications, PhD, etc…
Involved in different aspects of biometrics
With experience in evaluation campaigns
Question : Place of the Industrials, of the
small companies...
Structuration of the
network : Topics
Academic research in such modalities as:
speech
face
signature
fingerprint
iris
hand shape etc..
Multimodality : data fusion
Topics (2)
Non technical questions : legal, market,
privacy
Support technologies
Commercial applications
Further Steps
General Assembly on july 2nd, 2004
Constitution of a « steering committee »
Constitution of a « technical board » with all the
coordinators of the Workpackages
Constitution of a Forum of Industrial Partners
Clustering with other projects (in particular
BioSec, eCrypt, FIDIS, SecurePhone,…)
…
