The IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2026) is the premier international forum for cutting-edge research in biometrics and related areas. IJCB brings together two major conferences — the IEEE Biometrics Theory, Applications, and Systems (BTAS) and the IAPR International Conference on Biometrics (ICB) — and is sponsored by the IEEE Biometrics Council and the IAPR Technical Committee on Biometrics (TC-4).
We invite submissions of original and unpublished research papers addressing theoretical advances, applications, and interdisciplinary developments in biometrics. Submissions under review elsewhere will notbe considered.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
· Biometric modalities: face, fingerprint, iris, palmprint, vein, periocular, ear, voice, gait, signature, touch dynamics, behavioral biometrics
· Deepfake detection and AI-generated content verification
· Multimodal and multispectral biometric systems
· Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) and anti-spoofing techniques
· Template security and privacy protection: encryption, secure storage, anonymization, differential privacy
· Bias, fairness, explainability, and transparency in biometric systems
· Machine learning for biometrics: deep learning, transfer learning, continual learning, efficient/compact models, transformers
· Evaluation protocols and benchmarking, performance modeling, new datasets and large-scale studies
· Biometrics in forensics and law enforcement, large-scale identification, border control
· Emerging applications: IoT, wearable devices, mobile biometrics, healthcare, human-computer interaction
· Ethical, legal, and societal implications: compliance with regulations (GDPR, AI Act), human rights, societal acceptance
· Manuscripts must be in English and formatted according to the IEEE conference template.
· Maximum length: 8 pages (excluding references).
· The review process will be double-blind. Authors must remove all personally identifying information, including names and affiliations.
· Submissions must be made electronically via the conference submission portal, which will be available on the official IJCB 2026 website.
Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore, provided they meet IEEE’s publication and quality standards.
