Biometrics provides efficient and reliable solutions to recognize individuals.With increasing number of identity theft and misuse incidents we do observe a significant fraud in ecommerce and thus growing interests on trustworthiness of person authentication.Nowadays we find biometric applications in areas like border control, national ID cards, e-banking, e-commerce, e-health etc. Large-scale applications such as the European Union Smart-Border Concept, the Visa Information System (VIS) and Unique Identification (UID) in India require high accuracy and also reliability, interoperability, scalability and usability.Many of these are joint requirements also for forensic applications.Multimodal biometrics combined with fusion techniques can improve recognition performance.Efficient searching or indexing methods can accelerate identification efficiency.Additionally, quality of captured biometric samples can strongly influence the performance.Moreover, mobile biometrics is an emerging area and biometrics based smartphones can support deployment and acceptance of biometric systems.However, concerns about security and privacy cannot be neglected.The relevant techniques in the area of presentation attack detection (liveness detection) and template protection are about to supplement biometric systems, in order to improve fake resistance, prevent potential attacks such as cross matching, identity theft etc. BIOSIG 2022 addresses these issues and will present innovations and best practices that can be transferred into future applications.Once again a platform for international experts' discussions on biometrics research and the full range of security applications is offered to you.
