Idiap will participate in a Round Table discussion: Biometrics – a tool for cybersecurity?

Between comfort, security and protection of our private lives: where is technology at? What are possible applications? Where is my data? What are my rights? What may I do and what not?

UniDistance, in collaboration with the Idiap Research Institute, has launched an online distance learning program on biometrics and privacy protection (CAS Biometrics & Privacy). This program will open in April 2017 and registration is possible starting October 1st 2016.
