TENSOR Pilot Event – UC 2: Digital Forensics Extensions allowing Orphan Device Owner Identification

On 10-11 September the Ministry of the Interior of Finland organized and led a two day event in Helsinki showcasing TENSOR’s Use Case 2: Digital forensics extensions allowing orphan device owner identification.

This Use Case is focused on enhancing digital forensics by integrating gait and behavioral biometrics to identify the owners of unclaimed devices recovered during investigations. Behavioral biometrics examined interaction habits like typing rhythms and swipe gestures to create profiles matched to known individuals.

The two-day event welcomed a representative group of crime prevention, biometrics and legal experts from different Finnish authorities, giving the opportunity to present the project’s outputs to the end users and receive valuable feedback from them in hands-on testing sessions.

The TENSOR project aims to enhance public safety by revolutionizing the investigation capabilities of forensic institutes and Police Authorities through the use of emerging biometric technologies.

By modernizing forensic practices, the Ministry of the Interior, Finland, demonstrated how biometrics can address investigative challenges with speed and accuracy.
