20802044 - BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS

The course aims at providing the necessary instruments for the analysis and design of biometric systems, both uni-modal and multi-modal systems. In the course, the principles to include the needed security ad privacy requirements in the project of the system are fully addressed. The notions learnt during the course will be brought to fruition with the realization of a functioning biometric system during the lab activity.

Biometrics fundamentals: identity and biometrics. Introduction to biometric systems. Biometric applications.
Biometric modalities. Physical: fingerprints, face (2D and 3D), hand geometry, palmprint, vein patterns, iris, thermography). Behavioral: signature, voice, keystroke, gait, lip motion). Cognitive (electroencephalografic signals and responses from the peripheral nervous system.
Biometric system design: biometric system architecture. Biometric system design stages: system requirements, system specification, architecture, implementation, deployment, and maintenance.
System testing: FAR, FRR, FTE, FTA, curves ROC, DET, CMC, usability, and scalability
Sicurezza, vulnerabilità, e privacy di un sistema biometrico: attacchi ad un sistema biometrico, protezione del template (criptosistemi biometrici, "cancelable templates").
Security, vulnerability, and privacy of a biometric system: attacks, privacy enhancing technologies (PETs).
Multimodal biometric systems.
Biometric Standards.
Social, cultural, and legal implications.
