===============================================================

Biometrics, electronic signatures and related techniques play a central
role in the current identity management landscape as well as in emerging
future scenarios. While there are already plenty of successful
applications in which those techniques are used to guarantee the
authenticity and integrity of entities, there are still many closely
related areas which demand further research. In order to link practical
experiences and requirements with academic innovations, the BIOSIG 2009
workshop focuses on Research and Applications in the area of Biometrics
and Electronic Signatures.

BIOSIG 2009 on 17.-18.09.2009 is jointly organized by the Competence
Center for Applied Security Technology CAST, the German Federal Office
for Information Security BSI and the expert group BIOSIG of the
Gesellschaft für Informatik. We invite stakeholder and technical experts
from public administration, industry, science and academia to propose
contributions to the program of the workshop. Submissions
should be extended abstracts (3-4 pages) or full papers (max. 12 pages)
in English. Submitted abstracts and papers will be reviewed by the
program committee. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and
published within the conference proceedings, which
are planned to appear in the GI-Edition Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI).

===============================================================
BIOSIG - Biometrics and Electronic Signatures
===============================================================

The working group Biometrics and Electronic Signatures is dedicated to
the fundamentals, methods,
techniques, processes and implementations used to guarantee the
authenticity and integrity of entities
that are involved in information, communication and operating systems
employing applications that have
a need for security, as well as to the related organizational and legal
frameworks. In this context,
constructive approaches and threat analyses are considered. In order to
develop the topics in this context
and to link practical experience with academic innovations the working
group BIOSIG is inviting for the
workshop: "Biometrics and Electronic Signatures - Research and
Applications".

===============================================================
Topics of Interest
===============================================================

The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Biometrics
---------------------------------------------------------------
* Biometric standards and interoperability,
* multimodal and multibiometrics (feature fusion, score-fusion,
  decision fusion),
* Comparison-on-Card,
* fake resistance,
* liveness detection,
* ageing of reference data,
* template protection,
* derivation of cryptographic keys from biometrics,
* remote authentication using biometrics,
* biometric middleware,
* user interface design for biometric systems and
* biometric performance measurement.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic Signatures and related techniques
---------------------------------------------------------------
* Cryptographic foundations, security, efficiency and interop-
  erability of electronic signature techniques (including
  - classical signatures,
  - blind signatures,
  - designated verifier signatures,
  - fail-stop signatures,
  - forward-secure signatures,
  - group signatures,
  - intrusion resilient signatures,
  - ring signatures,
  - threshold signatures,
  - proxy signatures,
  - undeniable signatures and
  - signcryption) and
* related standards (including
  - XML DSig / XAdES,
  - CMS / CAdES,
  - LTANS-ERS,
  - OASIS-DSS,
  - PKIX etc.).
* Security, interoperability as well as legal and economic
  aspects of privacy enhancing technologies and identity management.
* Concepts for and practical experiences with systems,
  processes and applications for electronic signature and
  identity cards (e.g.
  - national identity cards,
  - electronic health and social insurance cards,
  - electronic passports,
  - electronic banking cards and
  - related large scale pilot projects such as
    STORK, epSOS and PEPPOL etc.).
* Application of electronic signatures and related techniques
  in the area of
  - electronic banking,
  - electronic health,
  - electronic government,
  - long term archiving,
  - service-oriented systems,
  - cloud computing
  - etc.
