Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue on the Application of Biometrics Technology in Security 2.0 for the MDPI journal Applied Sciences.

Biometrics technology refers to methods and systems used to measure and utilize human signals and images for various purposes, including human behavior understanding and identification.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions in the specific area of security applications of biometrics, including identification and authentication applications based on established (face, fingerprint, iris, handwritten signature, etc.) and novel (touch interaction with screens, keystroking, etc.) biometrics. Novel contributions on advances in the security aspects of biometric applications are welcome, including (but not limited to):

  • Security and privacy in biometric systems;
  • Biometrics in the cloud;
  • Distributed biometrics, including biometrics in distributed ledger systems;
  • Federated learning in biometric systems;
  • Attacks and countermeasures against biometric systems, including presentation attack detection;
  • Robust biometric systems that are intrinsically robust against potential attacks;
  • Measuring and evaluating the security and privacy of biometric systems;
  • Explainability in biometric systems, including human-readable explanations of decision-making processes and vulnerabilities of biometric systems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
