BIS 2013 - International Workshop on Biometrics and Information Security, (BIS'13)

Recently, and due to the large diversity of the hackers and attacks, information security has become a crucial need for securing almost all information transaction applications. Biometrics technologies are a new trend in information security that provides good security level. Biometrics can be easily combined with the traditional information security techniques in order to achieve much stronger security levels. Due to the huge demands on biometrics systems deployments, several challenges are keep arising with respect to trait acquisition, pre-processing, feature extraction and features matching. These challenges need to be addressed in order to enhance the performance of any biometric system in terms of response time and accuracy. This workshop focuses on all biometrics traits such as fingerprint, palmprints, iris patterns, retinal scan, hand geometry, voice and signature with respect investigating their challenge, reporting the up-to-date proposed solutions and open doors for new applications. The aim of this workshop is to attract researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, and provide a discussion panel in order to share their experiences of using the novel techniques for addressing the challenges in biometrics research area.
