Keynote Speakers "Biometrics: The Future Beckons" by Arun Ross, Michigan State University (USA) Abstract: Biometrics is the science of establishing human identity based on the physical and behavioral attributes of an individual such as fingerprints, face, iris, voice and signature. The automated process of comparing a pair of biometric signals (such as two iris images) and determining the probability that they belong to the same individual is both a fascinating as well as practical area of research. The pronounced need for large-scale automated human recognition systems has resulted in the incorporation of biometric solutions in border security systems, access control applications, criminal investigations, time-and-attendance technology and national ID cards. Recent research in this field has focused on securing biometric templates, searching for identities in large biometric databases, recognizing people in a nighttime environment, fusing biometric traits and designing faster matching algorithms. This talk will discuss the recent progress made in biometrics and enumerate some of the cutting edge problems being addressed by researchers in this field.
Biography: Arun Ross is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University. Prior to joining the MSU Faculty in January 2013, he was with West Virginia University (WVU) as an Assistant Professor from 2003 to 2008 and as an Associate Professor from 2008 to 2012. He also served as the Assistant Site Director of the NSF Center for Identification Technology and Research between 2010 and 2012. Arun received the B.E. (Hons.) degree in Computer Science from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India, in 1996, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from Michigan State University, East Lansing, in 1999 and 2003,respectively. Between 1996 and 1997, he was with the Design and Development Group of Tata Elxsi (India) Ltd., Bangalore, India. He also spent three summers (2000 - 2002) with the Imaging and Visualization Group of Siemens Corporate Research, Inc., Princeton, NJ, working on fingerprint recognition algorithms. His research interests include pattern recognition, classifier fusion, machine learning, computer vision, and biometrics. He is the coauthor of the textbook "Introduction to Biometrics" and the monograph "Handbook of Multibiometrics", and the co-editor of "Handbook of Biometrics". Arun is a recipient of NSF's CAREER Award and was designated a Kavli Frontier Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences in 2006. He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and the IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security.
"Authentication, Privacy and Ownership Transfer in Mobile RFID Systems" by Wanlei Zhou, Deakin University (Australia) Abstract: RFID technologies have been widely used worldwide. However, the wide applications of RFID technologies also introduce serious security and privacy risks as the information stored in RFID tags can easily be retrieved by any malicious party with a compatible reader. In this talk we will introduce the security and privicy challenges in RFID technologies, and based on our research, we will outline a number of schemes for authentication and privacy in mobile RFID systems, and technologies for secure and scalable RFID ownership transfer. The talk will be based on our following papers: 1. Yanli Yu, Keqiu Li, Wanlei Zhou, and Ping Li, "Trust Mechanisms in Wireless Sensor Networks: Attack Analysis and Countermeasures", Journal of Networking and Computer Applications, Volume 35, Issue 3, May 2012, Pages 867-880. 2. R. Doss, W. Zhou, S. Sundaresan, S. Yu and L. Gao, "Minimum Disclosure Approach to Authentication and Privacy in RFID Systems", Computer Networks (Elsevier). Volume 56, Issue 15, 15 October 2012, Pages 3401-3416. 3. R. Doss, S. Sundaresan and W. Zhou, "A Practical Quadratic Residues Based Scheme for Authentication and Privacy in Mobile RFID Systems", Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier). Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 383-396. 4. R. Doss, W. Zhou, and S. Yu, "Secure RFID Tag Ownership Transfer based on Quadratic Residues", IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, VOL. 8, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2013, pp. 390-401.
Biography: Professor Wanlei Zhou received the B.Eng (Computer Science and Engineering) and M.Eng (Computer Science and Engineering) degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China in 1982 and 1984, respectively, and the PhD degree from The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, in 1991. He also received a DSc degree (a higher Doctorate degree) from Deakin University in 2002 for his "substantial contribution to knowledge and authoritative standing" in the field of distributed computing. He is currently the Chair Professor in Information Technology and Head of School, School of Information Technology, Deakin University. Before joining Deakin University, Professor Zhou served as a system programmer in HP at Massachusetts, USA; a lecturer in Monash University, Melbourne, Australia; and a lecturer in National University of Singapore, Singapore. His research interests include theory and practical issues of building distributed systems, security and reliability of computer networks, bioinformatics, and e-learning. Professor Zhou has published more than 200 papers in refereed international journals and refereed international conferences proceedings and has edited 5 books and authored 1 book. He has also chaired a number of international conferences. Prof Zhou is a Senior Member of the IEEE. |
