Abstract:

Biometric Technology is carving out its place in the security arena - IT security, national security, and otherwise. There is a growing interest in biometrics and biometric systems are becoming more complex as they are integrated into larger identity management and credentialing systems. Today, they are increasingly being used in large-scale systems built on an SOA. A gap exists in the current set of biometric standards in the area of remotely invoked biometric services. The goal of this effort is to fill that gap by defining a standard method for accessing a set of such services over a services oriented framework.

This seminar provides a brief overview of this interesting new technology and discusses its role in the broader security landscape. The OASIS Biometric Identity Assurance Services (BIAS) Technical Committee is defining a framework for deploying and invoking biometrics-based identity assurance capabilities that can be readily accessed using services-based frameworks (e.g., web services). The webinar will also demonstrate how the emerging BIAS standard will support the use of biometrics within a services-oriented environment.

It's everything you always wanted to know about security standards--from the people who create them.

Each webinar will be hosted by a different OASIS Technical Committee and cover established standards including SAML, XACML, SPML, and DSS, as well as exciting new work.
