The Future of NIST Technical Evaluations of Biometric Technologies

Join us for a special webinar presented by the Security Industry Association (SIA) Identity and Biometric Technology Advisory Board, with support from sponsors Leidos and SAIC and featuring special guest Patrick Grother, a scientist with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In his role at NIST, Grother is  responsible for biometric standards development, algorithm testing, and analysis and runs the ongoing evaluations of fingerprint, iris and face recognition technologies, including the Iris Exchange (IREX) and Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX) fingerprint evaluation.

Grother will provide an update specific to recent changes to the NIST Face Recognition Technology Evaluation (FRTE) and Face Analysis Technology Evaluation (FATE) programs, as well as future plans across key NIST evaluations of biometric technologies that have implications for key stakeholders across industry and government. These topics will be of particular interest to developers participating or considering participation in these programs, manufacturers and integrators providing biometric technologies within their products and end users in the government and commercial sectors.
