Biometric recognition systems are nowadays an integral part of identity management systems. However, several problems and vulnerabilities of biometric systems have been identified in the past years.
These issues are related to three core topics: quality, security, and privacy, that define research scope of this research area.
Every year, internationally recognised biometrics experts come together to exchange the latest research results, requirements and developments in biometrics. ATHENE is one of the co-organisers of the conference.
