### IBPC 2010 :: Online ProceedingsMarch 1-5, 2010 National Institute of Standards and Technology

The first International Biometric Performance Conference was convened by staff of NIST ITL's Information Access Division (IAD) to bring together biometric researchers, developers, users, testing experts and technology providers in a discussion of the near term performance issues demanded for operational use of biometrics today. In 48 talks and 11 poster presentations, speakers addressed issues of reliability, security, scalability, computational expense, cost, and the measurement, definition, and standardization thereof. In three satellite workshops, panelists addressed NIST's fingerprint image quality assessment algorithm, NFIQ, fingerprint feature detection and standardization, and template protection. This webpage dcouments the proceedings of the conference. The presentations are linked below .

## Sponsor's Opening Remarks

The IBPC 2010 was sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate. Arun Vemury presented The DHS Perspective on demands for high performance biometric systems.

## Satellite Workshop I :: The Future of NFIQ

A group of sixty fingerprint experts gathered at NIST on March 1, 2010 in the first satellite workshop of the IBPC 2010. This session was convened to discuss options for future development of the NIST Fingerprint Image Quality Tool, NFIQ. Originally developed in 2004, NFIQ has been applied to hundreds of millions of fingerprint images as assess their suitability for matching. The following presentations were made.  
                  - Elham Tabassi The Future of NFIQ.
                  - Markus Nuppeney, Johannes Merkle and Marco Breitenstein Experiences with the retraining of NFIQ.

## Satellite Workshop II :: Testing of Template Protection Schemes

A workshop was held to discuss the challenges of evaluating template protection algorithms. The discussion on how to measure the functionality of these algorithms mostly revolved around how to assess the cryptographic properties of the algorithms being developed and tested. A specific initial step that the community needs to address is documenting potential attacks, which could be done on a forthcoming wiki that NIST will host.

## Satellite Workshop III :: Conformance to Minutia Standards

The accuracy attainable by systems using standardized minutia records is dependent on the software used to prepare and match those records. It has been shown that different minutia detection algorithms systematically produce different numbers of minutia from the same fingerprint image, and additionally place those minutia at different (x,y) locations. The workshop was convened to discuss construction of ground truth reference databases and their use in the quantitative assessment of semantic conformance.  
                  - Christoph Busch Semantic Conformance Testing Methodology and intial Results for Fingeprint Minutia Encoding.
                  - Patrick Grother Fingerprint Features, Semantic Conformance, Terms / Definitions / Scope.

## Sponsors and Supporters

The workshop is organized by the Information Access Division of the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The workshop is supported by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Defense, Biometric Task Force, and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Subcommittee on Biometrics and Identity Management.
