Academia Special Interest Group
BIOSIG Series
The International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group (BIOSIG) series was launched in 2002. The workshop takes place in Darmstadt (Germany) annually during September.
Over more than two decades, the BIOSIG conference has addressed issues related to the ever growing deployment of biometric systems: privacy and security concerns, multiomodality, indexing, fairness and transparency, or biometric quality, just to mention a few. In addition, innovation and best practices that can be transferred into future applications are always presented during the event. The conference is jointly organised by the Competence Center for Applied Security Technology (CAST), the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the European Association for Biometrics (EAB), the Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory (NBL), the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity (ATHENE), the Research Institute for Cyber Defence (CODE) of the Universität der Bundeswehr München, the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD, EURASIP Journal on Information Security and the Special Interest Group BIOSIG of the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI). The conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE and papers are added to both IEEE Xplore and the GI website.
Both stakeholders and technical experts are invited to submit original research papers. Industrial contributions presenting lessons learnt from practical usage, case study, recent results of prototypes, are also welcomed.
