Write your thesis at the BEZ

Biometrics is still a fairly young technology with great potential for development, which gives rise to a wide range of fundamental questions that still need to be investigated. In this context, the BSI offers to supervise theses.

Examples of topics:

• Presentation-Attack-Detection technologies (PAD): Forgery attacks pose a great danger to biometric procedures, which is why the use of procedures that detect them is essential. Possible work in the area includes:
  • PAD-technologies based on Deep Learning methods
  • Sensor fusion in multimodal biometrics or also in the combination of several sensors for authenticity recognition
• Deepfakes: Automated manipulation of image and video material on the basis of AI methods, here essentially meaning face swapping.
• Voice recognition: Speaker or voice recognition systems are used to recognize a speaker based on their speech characteristics.
• Template Protection methods: Template protection methods are methods with which the reference stored in a biometric system for an identity can be secured so that an attacker who gains access to such a database cannot obtain any "useful" information from this reference.
• Facial recognition
• Biometric background systems

More information on the topic of final theses in the field of biometric procedures can be found on the BSI website.
