Prof. Vincenzo Piuri of Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy

Automation of border control gates, as well as easy identification in a variety of daily-life applications (ranging, e.g., from home banking to e-commerce and e-government), requires a high degree of confidence in the identification. Modern solutions are based on biometric technologies to ensure standard quality in operation, by mimicking the usual activities performed by humans in identifying individuals. Biometric technologies allow in fact for efficiently analyzing human traits (e.g., face, fingerprint, iris, palm) for identity management.

This talk will analyze the opportunities offered by biometric technologies and their use for identity verification and recognition in automated border control systems and also in many other critical applications. The characteristics of these technologies as well as their implications on the overall system will be considered. Attention will be also given to a comprehensive system design methodology to take into account all application requirements, including the need for privacy protection.
