Supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA), the Biometrics Consortium is focused on Biometric Technologies for Defense, Homeland Security, Identity Management, Border Crossing and Electronic Commerce.
The Biometric Consortium serves as a focal point for research, development, testing, evaluation, and application of biometric-based personal identification/verification technology. The Biometric Consortium organizes a premier biometrics conference every fall (advertised below). Information about past conferences, current government and standards activity, a bulletin board service, and other biometric resources can be found throughout this web site.
The Biometric Consortium is co-chaired by Jeffrey S. Dunn and Fernando Podio.
Program information is available here. With speaker authorization, PDF versions of presentations will be linked from the on-line program in the next few weeks.
