NBL Annual Workshop 2023

NBL Annual Workshop 2023

Back in spring 2011 our Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory (NBL) was established and for the opening we organized a workshop. Since then we have celebrated the NBL Annual Workshops (NBLAW). We cordially invite you to participate in the 13rd Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory Workshop 2022 which is an open and free-to-attend event.

European laws and international standards categorize biometric data as sensitive personal data that require adequate protection. Where biometric data is stored, transferred, or processed, this protection must be assured. NBLAW 2023 therefore aims to shine a light on the recent progress and challenges in biometric template protection from a cryptographic standpoint. In particular, the need for post-quantum protection of biometric templates will be a focus. Furthermore, it is the goal of the workshop to connect research and real-life applications through addressing questions such as current quantum security levels for homomorphic encryption schemes and efficient ways of computing on encrypted biometric data. The workshop will be held as a hybrid event and can be attended remotely as well.

Date: 8th of March, 2023
Venue: Hybrid Event, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Gjøvik, Norway
Participation: Open and free, but registration required
Sponsors: European Association of Biometrics (EAB)
Theme: Biometric template protection
