Event: Eighth Annual International Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (PST2010) and Innovation Day.
Description:
Biometric technologies are beginning to hit the mainstream, touted as ideal for enhancing identity authentication, access controls and fraud detection. Ironically, however, the same technologies that can enhance trust can also undermine it when deployed improperly. Biometric data are exceedingly personal data: unique and permanent identifiers that can serve as both usernames and passwords. As this personal data is collected, used, retained and shared across networked environments by more and more actors for more purposes, how will the security threats that undermine the reliability of biometric systems be overcome? Equally significant, how will individual privacy be assured? Specific privacy concerns include function creep, expanded surveillance, tracking, profiling and potential discrimination, data misuse, the negative personal impacts of false matches, non-matches, system errors, and failure, and of insufficient oversight, openness and accountability in biometric data systems, as well as the potential for collection and use of biometric data without individual knowledge, consent, or control. All of these privacy risks can undermine user confidence, which can lead to a lack of acceptance and trust in biometric systems. Is there a positive-sum way out? The workshop panel will explore current issues and trends in biometrics research and deployment. One of the themes will be a novel application of face recognition for the OLG self-exclusion program.
