NGBS - ATHENE

Biometric processes such as fingerprint-, iris- and face-detection offer a great potential for the development of reliable identity management solutions in the economic and administrative branches. ATHENE is working on the securing of biometric systems against cyber-attacks and manipulations. The research work focuses further on the data protection compliant processing and storing of biometric data and recognition performance improvements, specifically in the areas of facial and fingerprint recognition. One purpose of the research results is their incorporation in the international standardization in this area.
