 Biometric technology for mobile devices has gained rapid scientific growth in the recent period of time, with many complete systems based on a variety of modalities and traits. Currently, biometric authentication is not only used for unlocking phones, but also for protecting financial assets in payment systems, e.g., Apple Pay. Significant use of biometric traits can be found since the appearance of iPhone 5s in 2013, to date there are more than 700 mobile device types, which have adopted biometric-based authentication. Hence, biometrics for mobile devices has proven to be highly promising and has sparked significant attention from researchers in industry, academia as well as government. Despite that, there are various open, unexplored, and unidentified challenges in the field of biometric technology related to mobile devices. A dedicated special session can be instrumental in attending multidisciplinary efforts. Therefore, this special session is hosted to widen the scope, push forward and document recent advances in mobile biometric as a whole. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
Submission Guidelines Submissions should be done following the BTAS-2018 proceedings style.

First we will discuss the use of face, fingerprint, iris and ocular traits for user authentication in smartphones. Next, we will discuss methods to detect presentation attacks, where an adversary attempts to use altered or synthetic traits to circumvent the biometric authentication module of a smartphone. Then, we will discuss a particular vulnerability - referred to as the “MasterPrint attack” - that exploits the use of small-sized fingerprint sensors in smartphones and other devices. Finally, we will present a method that combines device authentication with user authentication in order to enhance the security of smartphone-based transactions. The goal of this talk is to communicate the potential of using biometrics in the smartphone domain while at the same time being aware of the pertinent vulnerabilities.
