As an authentication method, biometrics offer unparalleled convenience and security. With very little for users to remember and do, there is also very little that they can do incorrectly, thus limiting the attack surface of an authentication system. Unfortunately, biometrics also present a challenging privacy/security tradeoff: biometric data is the ultimate personally identifiable information (PII), and is highly regulated in various jurisdiction in Europe, Asia, and the United States. As a result, practical large-scale biometric deployments must take into account strong protection of the data they process. This talk will present recent advances in the area of cryptographic protocol applied to biometric recognition for the purpose of protecting biometric data during and after authentication. We will introduce various concepts around biometric authentication, such as biometric liveness and authentication error rates, and provide a general overview of modern cryptographic techniques designed to guarantee strong biometric privacy.
