EINSTEIN to present at Biometric Workshop of the Norweigian Police

On May 20th 2026 the EINSTEIN project will be presented at a specialist law enforcement event bringing together forensic experts from Norwegian and Swedish police, Oslo University Hospital, and NTNU.

The day-long programme centres on advances in DNA profiling, familial searching, and cross-border data sharing under the Prüm framework. Against this backdrop, the EINSTEIN talk offers a distinct but timely contribution: the reliability of facial image biometrics in operational policing contexts, and specifically the threat posed by morphing attacks — where a single manipulated image can match two different identities in automated border control systems.

Christoph Busch (NTNU) will present on ‘Assessing facial images for quality and morphing attacks’.

As law enforcement increasingly combines multiple biometric identifiers, the integrity of facial image data becomes as critical as DNA evidence itself — making this an ideal setting to present the project’s findings to a practitioner audience.
