ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This half-day workshop will take place alongside the Biometrics Institute Congress 2023. This satellite workshop will dive deeper into the topic of digital identity and biometrics.
The session will provide deeper insights into two important guiding documents:
It will address questions such as:
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)?
What other safeguards should be in place for an on-boarding process?
In 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?
How 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?
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)
What challenges does interoperability present either for, or that can be resolved with, biometrics?
WORKSHOP PRESENTER
Martin 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.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
End-users, integrators, application developers and others interested in digital identity.
