The widespread use of biometric systems, the nature of the shared data, the kinds of use cases and the applications introduce privacy risks. Along these line, we are trying to respond to the matters of: “Can really biometrics be cha...
متن کاملPrivacy-Preserving Face Recognition
Face recognition is increasingly deployed as a means to unobtrusively verify the identity of people. The widespread use of biometrics raises important privacy concerns, in particular if the biometric matching process is performed at a central or untrusted server, and calls for the implementation of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies. In this paper we propose for the first time a strongly privacy-en...
متن کاملThe Use of Privacy Enhancing Technologies for Biometric Systems Analysed from a Legal Perspective
The deployment of biometric systems could have serious life long implications for the privacy and data protection rights of individuals. The use of appropriate biometric technologies permitting the creation of multiple trusted revocable protected biometric identities may present a response to this challenge. The paper presents a review from a legal perspective of these privacy enhancing technol...
