Ethical Principles for Biometrics

• Why?

Was brought to fruition following a near unanimous show of hands at our last year’s Joint-group meeting in October in London

Laws and regulation cannot keep pace with speed of technology developments

Serving humans: Just because we can, should we?

• Who?

Privacy Expert Group in consultation with key stakeholders representing a diverse group of people including government, privacy regulators, privacy advocates and biometric experts

• What next?

We need to join forces to make the world a safer place through the responsible & ethical use of biometrics

Biometrics Vulnerability Information

Top 10 Vulnerability Questions

Addresses frequently asked questions about biometric vulnerabilities such as:

1. Can my biometric be stolen / compromised?

2. How hard is it to steal a biometric?

3. What if my biometric gets stolen/ compromised?

4. Are biometrics a good alternative to passwords?

Biometrics Vulnerability Checklist

This list has been prepared by the Biometrics Institute Vulnerability Expert Group to help guide

members in addressing vulnerability assessments in biometrics. It addresses questions such as:

What are the common vulnerabilities for your technology (including biometrics)?

Do you have a risk management plan, and does it include the potential for biometric vulnerability?

How to address biometric vulnerabilities – a baseline assessment guide

A full assessment of biometric vulnerability, as with any security penetration assessment, is a

detailed process that best undertaken by an experienced practitioner. A baseline assessment of

vulnerability can be undertaken by leveraging existing security testing personnel. To assist in

this process this simple guide for a baseline assessment has been developed.

Considerations for Implementing a Biometric System

Simple, accessible and usable resource when considering the use and appropriateness of a biometric system, particularly for first time users.

Contents

1. Summary—what this guide covers; biometrics as a specialist subject; broader user and business perspectives; the Biometrics Institute.

2. Business case—why use biometrics? How? Scope of the system? Intended benefits?

3. Privacy and security—why these factors are critical with a biometric system; Biometrics Institute guidelines on privacy; other obligations.

4. Modality and quality—what type of biometric? What are the options and reasons for decisions on which to choose?

5. Business model—the holistic understanding of how will the solution operate—who does what? How does the proposed system work with the rest of the organisation and its information technology?

6. Testing—how do you know your system is fit for purpose? Biometric accuracy? Performance? Can the system detect presentation attacks?

7. Requirements definition—defining the specification you will need to confirm what is required, and build, test and operate

the system, whether procured through an external contract or with an in-house team. This section provides some assistance in evaluating the complexity that may be involved in your proposed solution.

8. Conclusion
