This satellite workshop will dive deeper into the topic of digital identity and biometrics. \nThe session will provide deeper insights into two important guiding documents: \n\n Digital onboarding and biometrics and\n Digital identity and biometric authentication\n\nIt will address questions such as: \nWhat constraints need to apply where on-boarding platforms carry out a face biometric selfie match against an image the user captures from a printed photo on a document (like a driver licence photo)? \nWhat other safeguards should be in place for an on-boarding process? \nIn the UK\, HMPO piloted a document checking service against its registered database of UK passport holders.  Is it a good concept that could be extended more widely\, are there other international examples\, and what might prevent this wider adoption? \nHow should we set up mechanisms to avoid conflicts of interest among organisations involved in Digital Identity ecosystems? For example\, should attribute providers/verifiers be independent of other organisations who provide Digital Trust Framework technology? ….. or who have a commercial interest in the transactions enabled through a particular operating framework? \nTo what extent do technical advances create risks for biometrics in digital identity? (For example widespread consumer availability of biometric tech may lead to easier data harvesting of face identities\, or deepfakes that make it easier to impersonate someone else when creating a digital identity) \nWhat challenges does interoperability present either for\, or that can be resolved with\, biometrics? \nWORKSHOP PRESENTER \n\nMartin George is a member of the Biometrics Institute Digital Identity Group and has many years’ experience in the biometrics industry. \n\nHe’s worked internationally in the technical and business development of voice\, face and iris biometrics\, across applications ranging from physical access control\, to defence force protection\, refugee management\, automated border control\, and smart phones. \nMore recently Martin has been focusing on issues relating to digital identity policies\, frameworks\, programmes and where they intersect with biometrics technologies. \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND? \nEnd-users\, integrators\, application developers and others interested in digital identity. \nREGISTRATION FEES \nMembers: GBP 350 (+ VAT@20%)\nNon-members: GBP 500 (+ VAT@20%)\nAcademic Subscriber GBP 50 (+ VAT@20%)\nAcademic Non-Subscriber GBP 100 (+ VAT@20%) \nIMPORTANT DISCLAIMER NOTIFICATION \nThe Biometrics Institute provides training and course material as a tool to help you conduct due diligence.

Our online On the Pulse Conversations allow our members to connect globally and discuss important topics as and when the conversation is most needed. \nThis Conversation will be available on demand to all members. Members are invited to make a short submission to present a three-minute viewpoint on the theme at the start of the conversation. This is limited to a maximum of three viewpoints and requires a request to present. \nAI\, biometrics\, privacy and ethics – how to use the technology responsibly \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is in the spotlight these days and it is critical to get ahead of some of the gaps in understanding (and misinformation) related to the ethical use of AI with respect to biometrics (“the automated recognition of individuals based on biological or behavioural characteristics” according to ISO). Education of decision-makers and ultimately the public is essential at this time.\nThere are different uses of AI for example emotion detection\, age estimation\, etc. This raises questions about what is and what isn’t biometrics. How can AI be used to enhance biometrics\, when ethically (and legally) applied\, and how can it potentially go “off the rails” (including without proper legal guardrails).\nIn this conversation the Biometrics Institute will look at key considerations for the responsible and ethical use of AI and biometrics and will look to the future to assess how perceptions of privacy may be changing and what this may mean for the responsible use of AI and biometrics. \nIn May the Institute released its updated version of the Biometrics Institute Privacy Guidelines including an updated list of potential future developments and a “Test your knowledge” section providing short simple scenarios to see how the principles act in practice. \nThe conversation shall address: \n\n What are the potential harms (i.e.\, what can go wrong) without sufficient guardrails?\n What are the biggest challenges for people’s privacy\, how have things changed in recent times?\n What should regulators and policy makers consider?\n The challenge of terminology: where do AI and biometrics intersect?\n The Privacy Guidelines\, how can they help?\n Some case studies\, what would you do?\n General comments and questions\, all you wanted to know.\n\nIt is recommended that participants read the Institute’s Privacy Guidelines and Ethical Principles in the lead-up to the event. \nModerator: Terry Aulich\, Head\, Privacy Expert Group (PEG)\, Biometrics Institute \nPanellists:   \n\n Brett Feldon\, Advisory Council Member\, Biometrics Institute\n Elizabeth Coombs\, Human Rights\, Privacy\, Governance & Regulation\, Lloyd and Coombs\n Beatriz Ruiz-Beato\, Biometrics Institute Privacy and Policy Expert Group Member\n Tuli Faas\, Biometrics Institute Privacy and Policy Expert Group Member URL:https://www.biometricsinstitute.org/event/on-the-pulse-conversation-biometrics-privacy-ethics/ LOCATION:Online\, and on demand CATEGORIES:Member Meetings,On Demand,Online Meetings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20230628T120000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20230628T130000 DTSTAMP:20250422T125041 CREATED:20230308T164107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240603T114519Z UID:10000173-1687953600-1687957200@www.biometricsinstitute.org SUMMARY:On the Pulse Conversation: What are the predictions for the future of biometrics and how do we ensure responsible use? DESCRIPTION:On the Pulse Conversation: What do you need to know about biometric authentication? is now available to Biometrics Institute members on-demand here. \nDURATION\n60 minutes \nMEETING OUTLINE \nThe Biometrics Institute aims to deliver content to its members in a timely and concise format. Our online On the Pulse Conversations allow our members to connect globally and discuss important topics as and when the conversation is most needed. \nThis Conversation will be available on demand to all members. Members are invited to make a short submission to present a three-minute viewpoint on the theme at the start of the conversation. This is limited to a maximum of three viewpoints and requires a request to present. \nWhat are the predictions for the future of biometrics and how do we ensure responsible use? \nAdoption of biometrics moves at an unprecedented pace and new use cases are continuously evolving. The pandemic has accelerated the need for secure digital transactions. Biometrics have an important role to play in providing convenience through seamless transactions and stronger security while ensuring data and privacy are protected. This event will provide an opportunity for our community to brainstorm what our world will look like in five to ten years’ time and how we need to be prepared for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead to ensure the responsible\, ethical and effective use of biometrics. \nThe conversation will discuss some of the current trends as outlined in the Institute’ State of Biometrics Report. It will test some ideas with the attendees and experts and leave you walk away inspired about what lies ahead and how we can shape the future. It will cover questions such as: \n\n What do we see as key challenges and opportunities for the biometrics industry in the next 3\, 5 and 10 years?\n\n\n What geopolitical developments do we anticipate e.g. will the EU still exist? Will we see cross-border governance to achieve globally interoperable identity confirmation on-line and off?\n How is technology going to evolve – what about quantum computing and AI? Will interoperable foundational identity be created separate from functional\, remote on-boarding and authentication at high assurance levels\, contactless identification?\n Policy and legal – what laws will have passed and which ones may be needed? How will policy makers understand what ecosystems and guardrails must be in place that facilitate the provisioning of foundational identity and the functional use of same – across borders?\n Public perception of biometrics – what will it look like? How will we establish and demonstrate trust\, ease of use\, and utility?\n National and regional differences – will there be a divide between different countries/regions in the use of biometrics\, when it comes to aspects like privacy\, safe-guards etc?\n\n\n Are there ways to make the opportunities a reality (and how) and mitigate the challenges?\n What do you see as the role of the Biometrics Institute in shaping this future?\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://www.biometricsinstitute.org/event/on-the-pulse-predictions-future/ LOCATION:Online\, and on demand CATEGORIES:Member Meetings,On Demand,Online Meetings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230621 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230622 DTSTAMP:20250422T125041 CREATED:20221220T103142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230620T213109Z UID:10000104-1687305600-1687391999@www.biometricsinstitute.org SUMMARY:US Discussion Day 2023 DESCRIPTION:DATE \n21 June 2023 \nTIME \n9:30 – 17:00 \nLOCATION \nMary Gates Center\, Alexandria near Washington DC\, US \nABOUT THE EVENT \nAs biometric technology continues to improve and take up increases\, we need to discuss how the human and the machine can work in partnership to optimise synergy.

DESCRIPTION:On the Pulse Conversation: What do you need to know about biometric authentication?  \nDURATION\n60 minutes \nMEETING OUTLINE\nThe Biometrics Institute aims to deliver content to its members in a timely and concise format. Our online On the Pulse Conversations allow our members to connect globally and discuss important topics as and when the conversation is most needed. \nThis Conversation will be available on demand to all members. Members are invited to make a short submission to present a three-minute viewpoint on the theme at the start of the conversation. This is limited to a maximum of three viewpoints and requires a request to present. \nWhat do you need to know about biometric authentication and digital identity? How do you know it is the right person using a digital identity?\nGovernments have been developing plans for digital identity as a way to regularise delivery of citizen services by digital means with potential extension to uses in the commercial sector. Commercially developed access mechanisms are also in regular consumer use to ensure that the right person is granted access to services. External factors like the pandemic have accelerated adoption of digital identities. \nIn many use cases\, biometric technology can be used to ascertain that an interaction is with the right person. It should be considered in the context of the classic three pillars of identity verification: ‘something you have’\, ‘something you know’\, and ‘something you are’. \nAuthentication challenges that biometrics can help to resolve: \n\n Identity theft\, in which an attempt is made to create a new digital identity using someone else’s real-world identity but is countered by processes in the Institute’s Digital Onboarding and Biometrics\n Account takeover by a bad actor attempting to take control of an existing digital identity but is countered by strong authentication processes that protect an already established account\n Account recovery which allows a defrauded person to re-take control of their account\, and where the process cannot rely upon authentication mechanisms usually used. In some cases\, the recovery may in effect be a re-onboarding\, where the Institute’s onboarding guidance may be helpful.\n\nThe Biometrics Institute is going to launch its latest guiding paper Digital Identity and Biometric Authentication with recommended good practices for the use of biometrics in authenticating existing digital identities. It follows on from the considerations presented in the Digital Onboarding and Biometrics paper from 2021.

The annual Congress\, back to an in-person event in London\, is the key biometrics gathering not to be missed. It provides an independent platform for off-the-record discussion among the institute’s global multi-stakeholder community. \nCongress 2022 themes: \n\n\nBiometric technology continues to develop at high-speed while the adoption of biometrics for all kinds of use cases constantly evolves. Standards are being worked on internationally but it seems regulation and legislation just cannot keep at pace. And confusion amongst the public and concern over biometrics increases. \nAs digital identity takes off in both a centralised and de-centralised modality\, questions arise about the necessary procedural responses required to mitigate against biometric ID theft\, fraud\, deep fakes and misrepresentation. \nThe Congress attracts over 250 delegates including representatives from government\,  the user community such as retail\, banking and aviation as well as biometric suppliers and academics.  \nThe event will be held under Chatham House Rule and will be off-the-record (no media) to facilitate open dialogue between our members and stakeholders. \nCONFIRMED SPEAKERS INCLUDE \nSee list of speakers \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Marvin Sim\, Commissioner\, Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)\, Singapore\n \n \n \n \n \n Joseph Jerome\, Policy Manager\, Meta Reality Labs\n \n \n \n \n \n Ophelia King\, Head of Digital Identity Market Development Team\, Department for Digital\, Culture\, Media and Sport (DCMS)\, UK\n \n \n \n \n \n Fraser Sampson\, Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner\, England and Wales \n \n \n \n \n \n Patrick Grother\, Biometric Standards and Testing Lead\, National Institute of Standards and Testing (NIST)\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n Stephanie SchuckersDirectorCenter for Identification Technology Research (CITeR)\, USA\n \n \n\nSee list of speakers \nIf you would like to know about speaking opportunities\, please email Emilia. \nSPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS \nWe would like to thank our sponsors Accenture\, Entrust\, Facetec\, Leidos\, Thales\, Cognitec\, IDEMIA\, InnoValor and iProov and our exhibitors OVD Kinegram and X Infotech.

Some of us probably have experienced what international travel looks like raising questions about the proof of health status or how to keep queues to a minimum. \nWe require strong proofing behind a health pass and the use of biometrics to anchor identity. There has been no shortage of innovation (including digital solutions) but policy is having to play catch up at times. Systems must adopt an agile and flexible framework that can adapt to the rise and fall of the threat or risk. \nThis ID@Borders Conference will explore important topics such as: \n\n Current landscape\n Digital borders and seamless travel \n Cross-border travel and migration challenges \n Country updates from air\, land and sea borders \n Law enforcement\n\nCollaboration and dialogue are crucial to form a consensus and find a path forward.

Over the years our biometrics community has conducted much testing around facial recognition technology which has shown that biometrics have become a reliable way to identify people quickly and efficiently.\n\nTouchless technology is important in the context of rebuilding travel as we emerge from COVID-19. \nThreats from hostile states\, terrorists and serious criminals have demonstrated that the technology has an important role to play in national security and border management. \nAutomation has helped to improve manual processes\, making them more efficient and secure. This same knowledge will allow the biometrics industry to seek and remedy vulnerabilities\, as well as enable us to prevent new attacks by producing better products and services. \nOne challenge we are facing as an industry is that while we can quantify performance\, we are still discussing how to quantify privacy. There was a reminder also in our US member meeting of the importance of the human in the loop\, not leaving the final decision to a machine. \nThese discussions will continue at this year’s Institute Congress held throughout the biometrics month of October. More details and how to register can be found on the Congress 2021 event page.

Last year we began working on the Biometrics Institute Good Practice Framework.  This document is a first-of-its-kind good practice tool that outlines the stages of the strategic planning\, procurement and operation of a biometric system or network. Its primary function is to provide a structured pathway through the factors that may influence or constrain a biometric application. \nWe presented the first draft of the framework to members and key stakeholders at events in London\, Australia and New Zealand at the end of last year and consulted extensively with members. \nOn the day:\nWe’ve chosen a border management scenario which a team of experts will use to work through a section of the framework each. This is a demonstration of the tool using a random real-life scenario we hope all our members will benefit from. \nYou will gain invaluable insights into the methodology of using the framework\, even if your work is not borders focused. We would like all our members to attend. \nWe’re expecting and encouraging lots of interaction in this online meeting. We want your thoughts and questions which our panel will discuss to give you the best start getting to grips with the framework. \nYou will get a copy of the framework when you have registered for this event and we have received payment. \nWhy you should attend this demonstration workshop:\n\n Learn the basics of how to navigate the framework\n Gain insights how this framework provides you with the key considerations of implementing a biometric solution\n Assess where your knowledge gaps are\n Understand better how complex a biometric implementation is and how many stakeholders you need to involve\n\nWho should attend:\n\n Those responsible for policy\, process\, technology and decision-making\n Any sector using or supplying biometrics\n\nClick here to find out more about the Biometrics Institute Good Practice Framework. \n\nRegistration:\nThis event is reserved exclusively for members who will receive a copy of the Biometrics Institute Good Practice Framework upon payment. \nIf you cannot attend the event\, there’s no need to miss out.
