First Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop
We had a fantastic first Workshop
We had 21 Sessions over 3 Days. Here is a link to the book of proceedings that has notes from all the sessions.
Below we have responses the participants had to the prompt “As a result of the Thoughtful Biometrics workshop…”

7E/ Biometric Incident Response
SESSION 8
8A/ How does SSI, FIDO, Physical and non-physical Biometrics, Identity and Authentication all fit together, for privacy, security and Compliance?
SESSION 9
9A/ Optional: DID (what is it) and how did Biometrics come (and go) in w3c/did-core
9D/ COVID-19 Focus: How has the pandemic impacted biometrics? And what are ethical concerns related to health data collection?
At the end of the events we invited people to share the results of the day.
As a result of attending the Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop, I’ll share my notes and everything I learned from you all with my colleagues to inform our thinking and research on these topics
I am going to put my information of Deepfakes, Biometric and Incident Response in a slide deck and you gents and ladies will be the first to access it Hopefully posted to the documents if they’re around
As a result of attending the Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop, I learnt about SSI and the importance of decentralizing biometric data
* i am re-invigorated to find an automaton f=gen(IBV,private-key,thresh) such that f(doc,CBV)=enc(doc,private-key) where f is FHE.
expanded my concepts of self-sovereignty, DDI, SSI, made a whole bunch of friends and that there is good hiking trails in Thailand
…I learned about deeper aspects of biometrics. I make contacts with similar questions. I was amazed by the body of knowledge and sharing.
As a result of attending TBW’21, it is clear to me that the chain-of-trust from identity verification through the holder of a credential (like FIDO) using the bound local authenticator to the verifier/relying party is critical to success
As a result of attending the Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop, I feel significantly more prepared to implement a secure system using biometrics authentication.
As a result of attending the Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop…I am better able to discuss and communicate thoughts and ideas concerning this data type and its preferred ethical usage of such.
As a result of attending the Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop, I came out with at least as many questions as answers ;) In truth, I was inspired by the well-meaning people in this space!
I learned that biometrics are probabilistic rather than deterministic of identity and therefore a gray area that has multiple dimensions that need to weigh in to their approved/secured use
As a result of attending the Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop I feel overwhelmed at how complex it is and hope we can keep the future simple
Where the word DID is used Phonetic DeyeD may clarify that I DID use a DeyeD where DID, may confuse? Great learns!
