Biometric Vulnerabilities Workshop – How robust is your system?
26 May 2023, 08:30-12:30
Rydges Darling Square
DATE
26 May 2023, Sydney
TIME
8:30 – 12:30
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This half-day workshop will take place alongside the Biometrics Institute Asia-Pacific Conference in Sydney and will focus on:
It will address:
- What biometric vulnerabilities do you need to be aware of?
- What does Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) and Liveness mean?
- What accreditation is available to trust the biometric systems? What does FIDO offer?
- Why testing is important
- What is the value of red-teaming?
This workshop will provide the opportunity to meet real experts in this field and engage in open dialogue about biometrics vulnerabilities.
WORKSHOP PRESENTERS

Ralph Breithaupt, Project Manager & Senior Scientist, Federal Office for Information Security, Germany.
His work concentrates on biometric devices, biometric access control, border security, fake-ability of biometric devices, performance evaluation, development of fake detection sensors and development of new biometric sensors.
His projects include Lifefinger I, II, III, OCT-Finger and US-Finger. Previously, he worked as a project manager for EC projects at Fraunhofer Gesellschaft – Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS and for four years as a Senior Scientist at Fraunhofer Gesellschaft – Institute for Autonomous Intelligent Systems.
Ralph has a diploma in Applied Physics and undertaken research in artificial intelligence, neural networks, robot control architectures, learning strategies and reinforcement learning.

Ted Dunstone is the founder of the Biometrics Institute and head of the Technology Innovation Group.
He has been involved with biometrics and authentication for over fifteen years, both academically and commercially, and has specialized in the government use and analysis of biometric identity systems.
Ted is the co-author of the first dedicated book on data analysis and biometrics Biometric System and Data Design.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Users, integrators and others interested in understanding spoofing, liveness and presentation attack detection. The workshop will be focused on educating those that are implementing biometrics about the critical aspects of biometric vulnerability.
