Abstract. The biometric identification of individuals has many safety and security applications in several fields of major interest. This can range from healthcare to commerce and from defense to banking systems. Current biometric technologies are hardly suitable for remote online massive use. This paper presents an innovative approach to design advanced biometric systems for personal identification, recognition and monitoring, with high level of privacy and scalability. The proposed system consists of a modular design using distributed systems, multi agent technologies, adaptable techniques that allow the creation of a surveillance infrastructure based on biometrics sensors. The proposed infrastructure is characterized by scalability and adaptability on sensors (cameras) number and signal manipulation through the multi agent infrastructure. System results can be extended to link more enterprises and application domains that need person identification and related events for access control on critical resources. 1
