Government Biometrics Workshop on Public Domain Biometric Applications
Overview On Thursday, November 25, 2004, EURIM (The European Information Society Group) hosted a CESG/BWG Government Biometrics Workshop at Portcullis House, Westminster, London. The purpose of the event was to highlight the issues involved when considering the implementation of large-scale biometric applications, such as e-passports or ID Cards.  Various
UK BWG members which included representatives from Government departments
and internationally renowned biometrics experts delivered presentations
on the key issues involved such as human, social and legal considerations,
functionality and performance requirements and security concerns.
A case study session was also provided, examining real experiences
and lessons learnt from biometric systems currently deployed in the
UK and elsewhere. The morning session provided a fast-track overview of the key issues for attendees only able to stay for a short while. The afternoon session examined these key issues in a little more detail, with a corresponding gain in understanding for those who were able to stay longer at the event. The workshop agenda, presentations from the event and the document pack content can be found below.
