HUMABIO - Human Monitoring and Authentication using Biodynamic Indicators and Behavioural Analysis
HUMABIO
Project Description
HUMABIO is a EC co-funded "Specific Targeted Research Project" (STREP) where new types of biometrics are combined with state of the art sensorial technologies in order to enhance security in a wide spectrum of applications like transportation safety and continuous authentication in safety critical environments like laboratories, airports or other buildings.
Research will be focused on the following issues:
- Scientific/technological (such as biodynamic authenticating indicators and physiological state diagnosis)
- User-centred (such as acceptance, usability and legal framework - accordingly all HUMABIO applications are conducted with the consent of all monitored subjects and subjects are aware of the system's operation at all times.
- Application-related (such as continuous authentication, secure interoperable biometrics and emotional staging and monitoring).

Updated HUMABIO Homepage
November, 28th 2007
The HUMABIO Homepage has been updated with the user forum, a platform for experts in the field of biometrics, sensor technology and public acceptance. The membership provides you with special access to not public deliverables of the project and the chance to participate in the discussion of topics rose in the project.
HUMABIO is now entering a new phase and passes from sensor development to system integration and system evaluation in pilot tests. Consequently a new section about pilot tests has been added on the HUMABIO Homepage. Early 2008 the HUMABIO pilot tests will be conducted to test the developed system in various settings. The new section contains presentation of the test sites and will provide informative news about progress and achievements.
Please have also a look on the now extended publication list with all publications online available!
