ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This half-day workshop will take place alongside the Biometrics Institute Congress. It explores the role of biometrics in the digital identity ecosystem through the lens of the Biometrics Institute’s Three Laws of Biometrics: Policy first, then Process and Technology. It will offer guidance on how to understand assurance levels, binding, biometric performance and risk against the backdrop of rising identity fraud, bad actors using AI, and increasing concerns about the privacy of Personal Identifiable Information (PII).

Topics covered include: 

• Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and digital identity concepts
• Roles of biometrics in digital identity
• What happens when you lose a digital identity, it’s taken over, or impersonated?
• Attack mitigation
• On-device vs stored biometrics? 

The session will also provide deeper insights into three important guiding documents:  

• Mitigating Biometric Vulnerabilities in Digital Identity – Executive Briefing 
  
• Digital Onboarding and Biometrics paper 
  
• Digital Identity and Biometric Authentication paper
