We are formerly known as BSPA labs but as of July 2, 2013 we have become the International Center for Biometric Research. The mission of ICBR is to excel in the applied research of biometric technologies with a continued commitment to education and innovative research, as well as engaging academia, government and industry in all activities. We strive to achieve our mission through a partnership between industry and academia, bridging cultures to find solutions to the challenges associated with developing and implementing biometric technologies. We are part of CERIAS - the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (www.cerias.purdue.edu)
