Biometrics 2015: Secure identity solutions now
FEATURE
Biometrics 2015: Secure identity solutions now Biometrics 2015 is an international conference that will provide insight enabling organisations to select the right biometrics technology for secure, reliable and convenient authentication or identification.
Organised by Elsevier Global Conferences and Biometric Technology Today in association with the Biometrics Institute, Biometrics 2015 runs at the QEII Conference Centre in London’s Westminster from 13-15 October The Biometrics 2015 Conference and Exhibition will offer practical advice and à ÜV>ÃiÊÀiÃÕÌÃÊvÀÊ«ÌÊ«ÀiVÌÃÊ`i«Þing biometric technologies both in the commercial and government sectors. The event will review the latest standards, testing procedures and government policy and outline what needs to be done to ensure the broader practical implementation of this technology. iÞÊÃÃÕiÃÊÃÕV Ê>ÃÊÃiVÕÀÌÞÊVViÀÃ]ÊÌiV ogy interoperability and ethics will all be covered in depth.
Conference highlights In the light of the multiple personal data hacks and identity thefts reported globally in the past year, government and commerce are looking at how biometric technology can assure identity management. The opening session at conference will set the scene for the discussion about identity management and customer authentication. As predicted by the Biometrics Institute’s Industry Survey over the past two years, the increasing visibility of biometrics in everyday life is an emerging trend. New devices, notably those that are wearable, are gaining interest and secure transactions online related to payments and mobile payments are hot topics. Innovators and disruptors are entering the market that can deliver more secure and more efficient customer services. One of the sessions at conference will include presentations about the role of biometrics in payments, especially mobile payments and secure customer transactions. Vulnerability assessments are now being recognised as an important part of implementations of biometric technology and the 10
