Program Overview:

This Capacity Building for Biometrics and Authentication Masterclass taking place 4 - 7 May 2026 in Singapore, will cover fundamental & critical principles of authentication, various biometric modalities (fingerprints, iris, face, voice, vein), performance measurement, spoofing attacks, and key implementation challenges like privacy, user acceptance, and standards compliance.

The goal is to equip participants with the knowledge to understand, evaluate, and successfully deploy biometric systems for enhanced security and convenience.

Plus! Be equipped with case studies from globally so that you have a proven roadmap to design, plan and implement biometrics and authentication in your organization efficiently. Maximize your learning ROI when you attend this masterclass!

Masterclass Outline and Key Topics:

Masterclass Structure & Key Topics

1. Introduction & Key Principles to Biometrics & Authentication

• What is Biometrics? Defining biometrics as the measurement and analysis of unique biological and behavioural characteristics. 
• Authentication Fundamentals: Overview of various authentication methods, including password-based, token-based, and biometric-based authentication. 
• The "Why" of Biometrics: Understanding the security benefits and convenience of biometrics compared to traditional methods. 

2. Biometric Modalities

• Physical Biometrics: In-depth look at traits like fingerprints, iris and retina patterns, facial features, palm prints, and vein patterns. 
• Behavioural Biometrics: Exploration of unique behavioural patterns, such as voice recognition, gait, typing dynamics, and digital gestures. 

3. Biometric System Design & Operation

• How Biometric Systems Work: Understanding the core process of capturing, processing, matching, and comparing biometric data. 
• Key Considerations: Exploring factors essential for effective system implementation, including accuracy, speed, and integration with existing systems. 

4. Performance & Security

• Performance Metrics: Key metrics for evaluating biometric systems, such as False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). 
• Spoofing and Liveness Detection: Identifying and mitigating "presentation attacks" or attempts to spoof a biometric system using fake fingerprints, masks, or videos. 
• Algorithm Advancements: Understanding how advanced algorithms and deep learning improve accuracy and protection against attacks. 

5. Deployment & Ethical Considerations

• Privacy and Data Security: Addressing concerns related to the collection, storage, and use of sensitive biometric data. 
• User Acceptance: Strategies for ensuring user comfort and adoption of biometric technologies. 
• Standards and Compliance: Discussion of relevant industry standards for ensuring interoperability and security in biometric systems.

6. Cyber Security Audit, Protection and Risk Management for Biometrics & Authentication

• Assessing your cyber risk assessment and defence
• Evaluating your full cybersecurity framework to ensure your biometrics and authentication is protected for cyber threats
• Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis
• Identifying threats, threat actors, motives of attackers
• Evaluating your existing control identification and gap analysis
• Risk response strategies
• Risk monitoring and reporting strategies

7.Upskilling & Reskilling for Biometrics & Authentication

• Developing the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to effectively use, evaluate, and deploy biometric and authentication systems
• Key considerations for staff development in this domain
• Managing expectations in capacity building
• Innovation, Adaptability, and Change Management for Capacity Building

8. Applications and Case Studies

• Real-world Examples: Examining the deployment of biometrics in various sectors, including mobile device unlocking, law enforcement, and public spaces like airports, ports, stadiums and other critical infrastructure
