SUMMARY:Mitigating Biometric Vulnerabilities in Digital Identity Workshop
DESCRIPTION:DATE \n21 October 2024 \nTIME \n9:30 – 13:00 \nDURATION \nThree and a half hours including a short break \nLOCATION \nLondon \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP \nThis half-day satellite workshop will take place alongside the Biometrics Institute Congress. It will dive deeper into the principles of digital identities\, the use of biometrics in this context and  potential attack modes that organisations should prepare for.  \nFor the past 20 years\, the Biometrics Institute has provided guidance and education on biometrics helping its members to deliver on our mission of promoting the responsible\, ethical and effective use of biometrics. The Biometrics Institute Three Laws of Biometrics stresses that policy must come first\, followed by process and then technology – which should be guided by policy and process.  \nOur workshops provide a trusted platform to learn about new developments in biometrics and outline how we can advance security and good practice to identify and verify people.   \nIn May 2024 the Institute released a members-only paper on Mitigating Biometric Vulnerabilities in Digital Identity which is an executive briefing on critical things to consider when using biometrics in digital identity.   \nThis workshop will be an essential tool to understanding the latest developments\, the content of the paper and how to be better prepared.  \nThe session will provide deeper insights into three important guiding documents:   \n\n	Mitigating Biometric Vulnerabilities in Digital Identity – Executive Briefing \n\n	Digital Onboarding and Biometrics paper \n\n	Digital Identity and Biometric Authentication paper \n\nIt will address issues such as:  \n\n	Security before convenience: While powerful\, biometrics systems can nonetheless be attacked. The types of attack and their mitigation must be considered. \n\n	Balance risks and outcomes: Protections may add cost and friction to customer experiences which need to be carefully balanced. \n\n	Manage risks in context: If vulnerabilities are managed\, today’s biometric systems can make it much cheaper\, easier and safer to implement robust digital identity systems. \n\n	Different attack points: These vary in accessibility to bad actors\, the resources needed for the attack\, scalability of attack volume\, and the types of mitigations required. \n\n	Use available tools: The Biometrics Institute offers a range of material on vulnerabilities in biometric technologies. \n\n	Allocate resources to manage risk: Proactive monitoring is essential to stay ahead of evolving security challenges. \n\n\nWORKSHOP PRESENTER \nMartin George is a member of the Biometrics Institute Digital Identity Group and has many years’ experience in the biometrics industry. He’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. More recently Martin has been focusing on issues relating to digital identity policies\, frameworks\, programmes and where they intersect with biometrics technologies. \n \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%) \nIMPORTANT DISCLAIMER NOTIFICATION \nThe Biometrics Institute provides training and course material as a tool to help you conduct due diligence.

SUMMARY:Digital Identity & Biometrics Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop will take place alongside the Biometrics Institute Asia-Pacific Conference 2024 and dives deeper into the topic of digital identity and biometrics. \nDATE \n21 May 2024 \nTIME \n13:30 – 17:00 \nLOCATION \nRydges Darling Square\, Sydney \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP \nFor over 20 years\, the Biometrics Institute has provided guidance and education on biometrics helping its members to deliver on our mission of promoting the responsible and ethical use of biometrics. The Biometrics Institute’s Three Laws of Biometrics stresses that policy must come first\, followed by process and then technology – which should be guided by policy and process: Know your algorithm\, biometric system\, data quality and operating environment and mitigate vulnerabilities\, limitations and risks. \nThe session will provide deeper insights into two important guiding documents: Digital onboarding and biometrics and Digital identity and biometric authentication\, and will further discuss important considerations around biometric vulnerabilities. \nIt will address questions such as: \n\n	What 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)?\n	What other safeguards should be in place for an on-boarding process?\n	In Australia\, a government face verification service offers checking against a database of Australian face images. Is it a good concept that could be extended more widely\, are there other international examples\, and what might prevent this wider adoption?\n	How can digital identities be used across a wide range of service delivery mechanisms? How does this intersect with the different capabilities of service channels to capture certain biometric information?\n	To 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)\n	What challenges does interoperability present either for\, or that can be resolved with\, biometrics?\n\nWORKSHOP PRESENTER \n\nBrett Feldon is a Biometrics Institute Advisory Council member and is Head of the Biometrics Institute’s Digital Identity Expert Group (DIG).

SUMMARY:How to implement a Privacy Impact Assessment Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis half day workshop will take place alongside the Biometrics Institute Congress and Biometrics Week 2019. \nThe workshop will help you clarify your ideas about privacy management in your organisation\, looking at good practice implementation and how to position your organisation at the forefront of the biometrics industry. It will provide answers to the following questions: \n\n	Do you know how to deal with privacy and artificial intelligence issues?\n	How to deal with potential losses of private data?\n	When does consent become important?\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND? \n\n	Any senior officer of an organisation in both the public and private sector.\n	Any key information officer who has responsibility as the manager or sub-manager of privacy issues.\n	Any senior technical person who will be a decision maker or have responsibility for the planning\, roll-out and management of a biometric based business system  \n\nThe Biometrics Institute in consultation with its members has developed a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) Model Template which was an output of our original work on a potential Trustmark. A PIA is a process which helps organisations plan their privacy policies and practices so that risks are anticipated and the privacy of people dealing with that organisation is protected. \nThe very interactive course will help you develop a PIA tool for planning\, rolling out and managing a business development which contains a biometric. It will take participants through a range of scenarios discussing how they potentially impact on privacy and how this could be managed. This is a must-attend event for anyone involved in the planning or implementation of a biometric system providing thought-provoking debate and guidance. \nAll PIAs should be conducted at the planning stage of any new business development and it is especially important to do this when introducing biometrics. \nWORKSHOP PRESENTER \nTerry Aulich is head of the Privacy Experts Group (PEG) of the Biometrics Institute. Terry Aulich is also the chairman of Aulich & Co\, strategic advisors\, pollsters and market researchers since 1993. \nHe was a state minister and federal senator for over sixteen years where he was chair of a number of influential committees\, one of which was the Australia Card committee which recommended the successful implementation of Australia’s Privacy Act\, the 100-point bank identification system\, the tax file number system and other anti-fraud measures. \nAs a head of the Biometrics Institute’s Privacy and Policy Expert Group he provides strategic advice to the CEO and Board. He is also chair of the Privacy Committee of the Australian Market and Social Research Organisation. \nREGISTRATION FEES\nMembers – GBP 250 (+ VAT@20%)\nNon-Members – GBP 450 (+ VAT@20%) \nTo register for this workshop or for the Congress or any of the other Satellite events taking place please go to the main Congress page and register there. \nIMPORTANT DISCLAIMER NOTIFICATION \nThe Biometrics Institute provides training and course material as a tool to help you conduct due diligence.  While the Institute has used reasonable care to ensure the accuracy of the material and course\, due to the content and variable inputs during and after the process of implementing biometrics\, the Institute cannot be held accountable for outcomes or compliance.  The material and course have been prepared for informational purposes only and are not intended to provide legal or compliance advice.   You should consult your legal advisor should you require advice on the legal or compliance aspects of the material or course.
