DESCRIPTION:Dr. Anthony VETRO\nBiometrics are an inherent link to our iden
 tity and useful for a number of applications including access control and 
 online transactions. Keeping this information secure is a primary concern.
  However\, biometric data is noisy and secure matching of this data poses 
 new security challenges. This talk will examine two approaches for secure 
 identity verification. The first scheme considers the application of distr
 ibuted source coding techniques to cope with noisy biometric measurements.
  A Slepian-Wolf coding system is used to provide robust biometric verifica
 tion for genuine users\, while guarding against attacks from imposters. A 
 formal quantification of the tradeoff between security and robustness is p
 rovided as a function of the Slepian-Wolf coding rate. The second approach
  addresses the same problem with privacy-preserving protocols for secure d
 istance computations. These protocols exploit the properties of homomorphi
 c encryption and are developed for a variety of functions including Hammin
 g distance\, L2-norm and L1-norm. The benefits and drawbacks of these two 
 different approaches will also be discussed.
