Human identification has undergone great technological evolution with the design and implementation of biometric systems capable of analyzing one or more traits in the identification process. Biometrics is a concept inserted and demanded by today's society, which demands safe, reliable, fast and robust methods to ensure a person's identity, especially with regard to the public security system, criminal justice, and, ultimately, to the guarantee of human rights. Multibiometric systems (Automated Biometric Identification System - ABIS) have stood out in this sense when compared to uni-biometric ones, given that the presence of multiple sources increases the amount of available information, and can significantly improve the system's performance by combining evidence, make fraud more difficult and have greater power to resolve cases. The analysis of traces and the production of evidence related to human identification, a key element of the papilloscopic expertise, brings information about the presence of someone at a crime scene, establishes connections between individuals, objects and places, informs about the dynamics that occurred, modus operandi, means of access and escape and identifying suspects and victims in addition to consigning innocence. In this context, this call for articles intends to promote works that deal with scientific development and new investigations on human identification, on multibiometric systems and their application in the fight against crime, on papilloscopic expertise and its new challenges and available technology.
