Lowering the Barrier to IREX Participation: Open-Source Algorithms, Toolkit, and Benchmarking for Iris Recognition

arXiv:2605. 20735v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: NIST Iris Exchange (IREX) offers an appealing solution to evaluating new open-source iris recognition algorithms, but it presents high barriers to entry because these algorithms must be written in C++, using a specific API, and adapted to meet strict IREX speed and memory constraints.

EERLoss: A Novel Loss Function for Training Deep Biometric Models. A Case Study in Keystroke Dynamics

arXiv:2606. 24586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning approaches to biometric verification are commonly trained by optimizing indirect objectives, creating a misalignment between the optimization process and the primary evaluation metric, typically the Equal Error Rate (EER).

Binding Biometrics with AI Agent Identifiers for Delegation of Authority

The paper introduces BIND, a framework that binds a human’s biometric data to an AI agent’s identity and task-specific authority, enabling secure, real‑time delegation of control. By generating a token that an AI agent presents to an Identity Auditor, the system performs biometric authentication and recovers the agent’s ID and scope, providing non‑repudiable proof of human oversight. A practical implementation using face features and a fuzzy commitment scheme with turbo error‑correcting codes achieves a 96% true match rate at zero false match rate and supports 1024‑bit agent tokens.

EERLoss: A Novel Loss Function for Training Deep Biometric Models. A Case Study in Keystroke Dynamics

Deep learning approaches to biometric verification are commonly trained by optimizing indirect objectives, creating a misalignment between the optimization process and the primary evaluation metric, typically the Equal Error Rate (EER). This paper introduces EERLoss: a subdifferentiable, arbitrarily accurate approximation to EER for training deep biometric models.
