Press Release: EU-funded project to take biometric security systems to the next level

The European Commission on 22 October 2013 announced that the TABULA RASA consortium, which is supported by EU research and innovation investment, has set out to identify how well biometric security systems work in everyday devices like smartphones and tablets.

The TABULA RASA consortium comprises 12 different organisations across seven countries that have worked together over a period of three years to research as many vulnerabilities as possible, to develop countermeasures accordingly and ultimately a new breed of safer biometric systems.
