Abstract

Biometric authentication has emerged as a cornerstone technology for secure identity verification, with growing importance in mobile security, border control, and banking. However, biometric systems face significant security and privacy challenges, including spoofing attacks, privacy preservation, and template protection. This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent advancements, challenges, and emerging trends in biometric authentication and security. The event aims to facilitate interactions among academics, industry professionals, and policymakers, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
