  • Document and biometric identity verification;
  • Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) technologies.

Day 2

Main topics:

  • PAD framework for facial and voice data;
  • Recognising Covid-19 through biometrics;
  • Generative models for video generation;
  • Biometric usage in smart border control technologies;
  • Predicting and monitoring technology acceptance;
  • Workload reduction in biometric identification;

Digital identity wallet

Zetes project @Brussels, Belgium (2022). For many years, transactional and online services have relied on end users using devices such as desktop computers and laptops. Therefore, solutions for remote identity proofing and digital signatures have been designed to the characteristics of such devices. However, these devices are more and more replaced by mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, which raises new challenges.

For example, smart cards and tokens, which are typically connected to desktop computers and laptops using USB devices, cannot be easily connected to smartphones, or cannot at all. Furthermore, given developments in cloud computing, solutions have emerged in the last few years where the process of digital signature creation is done in a distributed way by different systems that may be controlled by different actors.

This is why recent standards have introduced the concept of mobile identity (e.g. driving licence in association with a mobile device) and electronic signature created using a remote signature creation device (i.e. electronic signature device is replaced by cloud-based services offered and managed by a trusted service provider), which can be both made available to the end user through a digital identity wallet as a smartphone app.

The related standards are:

  • ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021 - Personal identification, ISO-compliant driving licence, Part 5: Mobile driving licence (mDL) application;
  • ETSI TS 119 432 - Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI), Protocols for remote digital signature creation;
  • CSC standard - Architectures and protocols for remote signature applications.

In this project, my tasks are first related to the analysis of these standards so as to investigate how they could be implemented in practice and what is their impact on the project scope. Then, my tasks are related to the analysis of business needs (whether internal or from the customer), software implementation (e.g. software releases and documentation) and project management (e.g. project coordination with the customer).

Trends debate: technology and privacy

Trends debate: technology and privacy

|

Fujitsu project @Brussels, Belgium (2020). In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the development of contact tracing applications to help track and stop the spread of the coronavirus, Trends organized an online debate around technology and privacy entitled: “Does saying yes to technology mean saying no to ethics and privacy?”. The debate has been published as an article in Trends, which is a Flemish financial-economic magazine presenting analyses of current economic, political and social news.

Participants in this debate, who are experts in technology, ethics, privacy or legislation, are representing the following organizations:

  • Atos;
  • Everest Law;
  • Fujitsu;
  • Icapps;
  • Ministry of Privacy;
  • Nutanix;
  • Privaco;
  • SiriusLegal;
  • Universiteit Gent.

The main topics of discussion around this debate are as follows:

  • Should a contact tracing application be considered as a Pandora's box whose consequences cannot be estimated?
  • Is GDPR sufficient as a security mechanism? Or do we need to develop a clearer framework to regulate the potential misuse of technology?
  • To what extent does fragmentation, at political, geographic or economic level, hinder the efficiency of contact tracing applications requiring a global reach to be efficient?
  • Who decides what can be allowed with the possibilities offered by the technology? And how can we enforce that?
  • What is the correct mechanism to determine when a technology is needed? And when can a market be considered as ready?

As a Digital Business Analyst representing Fujitsu for this debate, I shared Fujitsu’s vision and values regarding technology and privacy in the context of the global Covid-19 pandemic, with topics such as working from home (technologies and benefits), extending the legal framework, including GDPR, to regulate Artificial Intelligence and building a human centric future with ethical technology. The debate has been published as an article in Trends on 13th August 2020.

Abstract

Depuis ses débuts, l'imagerie médicale a pour objectif de fournir aux radiologues des images médicales afin de les aider dans leur diagnostic. Avec l'avancée des techniques d'acquisition, les radiologues se retrouvent à analyser des images de plus en plus complexes et dans des quantités de plus en plus importantes. Du côté de la recherche, cela se traduit par une collaboration entre physique médicale, radiologie et imagerie médicale. Les physiciens ont pour objectif d'améliorer la qualité et la résolution des images médicales. Ces améliorations permettent d'aider les radiologues dans leur diagnostic et à la communauté de l'imagerie médicale de pouvoir extraire des informations plus précises. Cette collaboration permet non seulement d'avancer dans les sciences médicales (ex. étude de l'anatomie et physiologie), mais également dans les applications cliniques (ex. détection de maladies et planification de thérapie).
