The ability to establish, confirm and protect an individual’s identity is essential to the function of our society. Biometrics uses physical measurements of the body to identify an individual. A secure biometric identity and secure processes that use identities allow individuals to function in our growing on-line society with reduced risk of identity theft and fraud. Establishing identity is critical for preventing and detecting crime, terrorism, fraud and human trafficking. Challenges facing the arena of identification include the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create images, videos and recordings as a means to intentionally deceive, and the potential existence of preference within the identity systems. In Phase III, the Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) expands impact in generative AI, advanced computing, and digital identity management, along with fair, transparent and explainable biometrics to address challenges that both commercial and government sectors face in today's society. CITeR will conduct research to measure outcomes resulting from approaches to mitigate specialized loss functions in neural network models. Additionally, projects to ensure robust identity systems through comprehensive evaluation of challenge response and liveness methods to prevent replay attacks, as well as methods to recognize natural or synthetically added information will be explored. Clarkson University will focus research in the areas of spoofing biometrics
