Biometrics and Biosecurity focused on the various aspects of advances in biometrics and biosecurity. This special issue will provide a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress, problems, and solutions in the area of biometrics and its application, biosecurity measures, and biosafety protocols, including development, implementation, strategies, and policies.

This special issue attempts to capture cross-fertilization of ideas in the convergence of biology and information science and the scope is kept deliberately broad to encourage participation. The following categorization may not exactly fit all but gives an indication of possible convergence areas and some examples of the communities from which our participants may originate. Excellent works in these areas are welcomed. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Biometrics and its application
• Biosecurity measures
• Physical biometrics
• Behavioral biometrics
• Biometric development and implementation
• Biometric recognition and authentication
• Biosafety protocols
• Biosecurity policies
• Bioterrorism prevention and counter measures
• Biocontainment
• Biosecurity strategic approaches
