The current funding for ATHENE (BMBF and HMWK) and further third party funded projects (e.g. from BMBF, BSI, industry) allows us to employ motivated and outstanding staff members to work on their PhD in the area of IT security. Ten good reasons for
Mathias Ibsen defended his Master Thesis on Impact of Facial Tattoos on Face Recognition Systems Biometric systems are widely used for automated recognition of individuals based on their biological and behavioural characteristics. A popular biometric approach is face recognition which
Pawel Drozdowski successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis with the title „Efficient privacy-preserving biometric identification in large-scale multibiometric systems“ on May 6th 2020. The thesis defence was conducted digitally. The examining committee members were Prof. Dr. Vitomir Štruc (University of Ljubljana),
Recently, there has been a wave of public and academic concerns regarding the existence of systemic bias in automated decision systems including biometrics. Very prominently, face recognition algorithms have often been labelled as „racist“ or „biased“ by the media, non-governmental
Marcel Grimmer defended his Master Thesis on Unknown Fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection Using Convolutional Autoencoders The increasing popularity of biometric authentication systems simultaneously raises privacy and security issues. Among other vulnerabilities, presentation attacks (PAs) that are directed to the
