DIRECT-PAD | BioBiDa
The biometrics research group, led by Prof. Christoph Busch, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, starts with two new projects: The DIRECT-PAD project will explore hardware-based Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) solutions for fingerprint readers with finger-on-glass (fingerprint-on-glass) sensors and demonstrate their feasibility in principle.
The aim of the BioBiDa project is development of efficient algorithms and datastructures for biometric identification, which can perform search queries on large biometric datasets in real-time, while simultaneously facilitating biometric data protection.
DIRECT-PAD will be funded from April 2018 for 21 months by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
BioBiDa has a term of 2 years and is funded by the Landes-Offensive zur Entwicklung Wissenschaftlich-ökonomischer Exzellenz, LOEWE. Project partners are the Technische Universität Darmstadt and the iCOGNIZE GmbH, associated project partner is the Bundeskriminalamt.
