VISUAL INFORMATION
SECURITY TEAM

VIS TEAM is a research nucleus focused on the security of visual information, spanning from biometrics, to cutting-edge security elements of sovereign documents or security stamps. VIS TEAM works on both sides of the security: on the detection of fraud and attacks, by one side, and on the protection of the visual content on the other side.
