This session explores how decentralised technologies—like blockchain and federated learning—can transform biometric authentication in smart cities.
As urban systems grow more interconnected, secure and privacy-preserving biometric identity management becomes essential. This session addresses key
challenges in current centralised systems and showcases innovative, cross-domain solutions for scalable, secure identity frameworks.
• Federated learning for cross-domain biometric recognition
• Interoperable biometric architectures for smart cities
• User-centric identity using decentralised identifiers (DIDs)
• Resilient and secure biometric authentication systems
• Ethical and legal governance of biometric identity systems
• Quantum-safe identity systems using PQC/QKD
• Real-world case studies in urban environments
