Morpho and Telecom ParisTech (part of Institut Telecom) have recently launched a collaborative research center, the IDentity & Security Alliance, to address the technological challenges of identity protection and data security. The IDentity & Security Alliance will have an international scope and will focus on developing and enabling next-generation identity-based applications while guaranteeing security and privacy.

It aims to build a scientific knowledge base covering research topics such as biometrics, IT security, cryptography, components security and identity management systems. Projects will be based on a mutual exchange of research and technology expertise, involving researchers from both Morpho and Telecom ParisTech. The IDentity & Security Alliance will be co-directed by Vincent Bouatou, Deputy Director of Research and Technology at Morpho and Gérard Memmi, Head of the Networks and Computer Science Department at Telecom ParisTech.

"The inauguration of our IDentity & Security Alliance research center is a major milestone marking the long and fruitful history between Morpho and Telecom ParisTech" highlighted Jean-Paul Jainsky, Chairman and CEO of Morpho. "It reflects our commitment to advancing research and development, which is a key driver for innovation. We look forward to starting this new technological partnership and expanding our research efforts with Telecom ParisTech."

"Security is indeed a major challenge in today's digital world," said Yves Poilane, Director of Telecom ParisTech. "By combining the expertise of Morpho, a world champion in this field, and Telecom ParisTech, a specialist in hardware and software security, this joint lab will help maintain French leadership. I would just like to add my best wishes for its growth and success in becoming an international benchmark in this sector."
To date, three doctoral projects and two government-funded collaborative research projects are already underway within the research center.
