  1. Debate Session (III) – Why risk management and vulnerability assessment is important? Dr Ted Dunstone, Chair Technical Panel Biometrics Institute, CEO Biometix

  2. Some Debate Questions • What are the main vulnerability points of ABC systems and their known (and unknown) strengths and weaknesses? • What are current known real world biometric attacks? • What are the implications of these attacks? And how to mitigate them? • How to insure vulnerability is included in overall ABC risk management? • How to assess the risks and what are the methods for penetration testing? • What is a research direction for vulnerability detection for ABC systems? • How to encourage border management agencies to address potential vulnerabilities? • How to exchange and share the experiences on this topic?

  3. Biometrics & Vulnerability Now • Things are changing rapidly (at last!) • BVEAG Meeting In London • ISO standards still primarily address performance testing but 30107 addresses presentation attack (spoofing) • Two NIST conferences on biometric performance – both had significant content relating to vulnerabilities • LivDet– 2009, 2011, 2013 fingerprint liveness detection competition • Tabula Rasa – Trusted Biometrics under Spoofing Attacks • BEAT – Biometrics Evaluation and Testing • Governments are including “spoof resistance” in procurement specs

  4. Some Real Vulnerability Cases Japan:Fingerprint Spoofing (Published 29 January 2010) • Two South Korean women using special tapes on their fingers; Canada:Facial Spoofing (November 2010) - Air Canada US: Fingerprints Removed • Cancer drug Capecitabine removed fingerprints • Brazilian Hospital • (March 2013)

  5. Vulnerability Web Results • Biometric Spoofing: 8,140,000 • Fingerprint Biometric Spoofing : 547,000 • Face Biometric Spoofing: 276,000 • Iris Biometric Spoofing: 97,900 • Voice Biometric Spoofing: 3,200,000 (!) • Speaker Verification Biometric Spoofing (1,750,000)

  6. Aims • Recognise that biometric vulnerability has become mainstream and share some of the activities that are underway • Find ways to improve transparency so that all parties speak a common language and understand how systems can be/have been tested. • Procurements specs, test results and statements about performance should be objective and unambiguous. • Improve the performance of biometric systems spoof resistance, leading to wider deployment.

  7. VulnerabilityChecklist • 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? • Are you aware of the difference between a standard false accept rate and a biometric vulnerability? • For your system what vulnerability related documentation exists? • Are there any configuration options to for the vulnerability detection? • Will there be tradeoffs in performance usingthe vulnerability detection? • How is a potential vulnerability notified? • What types of conditions might create a false vulnerability alert? • Do you have a plan in your enrolment or verification workflow that supports vulnerability? • What mitigations can be established to protect against vulnerabilities? • Would you use external resources to conduct an assessment?
