The speech title: Changeable Biometric Template Generation in Secure Domain

Abstract: Biometric recognition is convenient and reliable, so it has been widely used for identification and verification. However, the biometric systems typically suffer from many serious problems of security and privacy. Thus changeable biometric template should be generated and recognized in secure domain. Changeable biometric template should meet four criteria, namely diversity, revocability / reusability, non-invertibility, accuracy performance. Unfortunately, it is highly challenging to meet all the criteria simultaneously. This keynote speech will introduce the advanced technologies of changeable biometric template generation in secure domain.
