Dr SAMBIT of National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India

Biometric technology was incepted in 1958 in a very non-scientific way while recording inked fingerprints of people on paper on a whim. Then biometric technology was practiced and a scientific basis was established during finding the identity of Afgan Girl Sharbat Gula by National Geographic photographer McCurry and Prof. John Daugman. The talk will introduce the basic concepts of biometric security, beginning with the history of the development of biometric technology and how it has become the backbone of security in several daily-used products like personal computers or mobile phones. Apart from such applications, the talk will emphasize how biometrics helps to find criminals in the FBI and how helps to recognize a person in India using the nationwide database AADHAAR. The latest usage of deep learning techniques for achieving superior performances from biometric systems will also be highlighted in this talk.
