The University Group for Identification Technologies (GUTI) was initially founded by Dr. Jose L. Zoreda in 1989 at the ETSIT in Polytechnic University of Madrid. In 2000 GUTI moved to Carlos III University of Madrid under the management of Dr. Raul Sanchez-Reillo. Currently GUTI's working lines are based on Identification Devices (focusing on smartcards and RFID), Information Security and Biometrics.
GUTI has a broad expertise in working with a variety of
