IBG to Discuss Biometric Spoofing and Introduce SPOOF 2007

Teleconference to discuss IBG's upcoming spoof testing program

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 11, 2006 -- International Biometric Group (IBG) invites you to join its upcoming teleconference, "Biometrics and Spoofing." The teleconference takes place at 1:00 Eastern Time, Thursday, 14 December 2006.

As the use of biometrics in commercial and government applications expands, the technology faces increased scrutiny. One area of particular concern among deployers and end users is spoofing, or the use of artifacts such as fake fingerprints to defeat biometric systems.

In this IBG teleconference, Consultant Ross Mitchell will introduce SPOOF 2007, the industry's first structured evaluation of biometric technologies' susceptibility to spoof attacks. In addition to discussing SPOOF 2007 goals and timeframes, Mr. Mitchell will discuss the following:

- modality-specific spoofing issues;
- potential anti-spoofing techniques;
- examples of "real-world" risks and risk mitigation techniques.
