Introduction

Subject: Large scale ID projects based on Biometrics (specifically Fingerprint)

A. Technologies involved

B. Major projects

C. Benefits and Risks involved

D. Conclusion

3



A. Technologies

Large scale ID projects involve the following technologies:

• Biometrics (Fingerprint)

• Cards

• Biometrics Database (AFIS)

• Face Database

4



Biometrics

• Fingerprint

• Face geometry

• Retinal scan & Iris (eyes)

• Others

5



Cards

• Plastic Cards

• Memory Cards

• Smart Cards

6



Card Materials• PVC : PolyVinylChloride

– Cheaper (0.10$)– Less durable (< 3 years)

• PETF : Polyester film– Expensive (0.25$)– More durable (5 to 10 years)

• PC : PolyCarbonate– More expensive (1.00$)– More durable (> 10 years)– Used in Hong Kong, Macao and Finland National ID cards

project

• Note: CAC card is made of 40% PET and 60% PVC

7



Biometrics Template Storage

• 2D bar code

• Smart Card

• Optical Card

8



Smart Card Type

• Contact– ISO-7816– 32 Kbytes to 64 Kbytes– Cryptographic capabilities (digital signature)

• Contactless– 1 Kbytes to 4 Kbytes– Many standards

9



Contactless Smart Card

• MIFARE ISO-14443 type A

• ISO-14443 type B

• ISO-15693 Vicinity

• Hua Hong (China)

• Legic

• iClass (HID)

10



Smart Card O/S

Multi-Applications require an Operating System on the card to handle and control all the applications

• Java

• Multos

• Proprietary

11



AFIS

AFIS: Automated Fingerprint Identification System

• Identification : one-to-many

• Can locate duplicates

• Storage of full size fingerprint images and allows template format changes

• Suppliers: 123ID, Biokey, Cogent, Dermalog, Nec, Printrak, Sagem

12



Facial Database

• Identification : one-to-many

• Can locate duplicates

• Storage of full size facial pictures

• Suppliers: Identix (Visionics), Viisage, others

13



Fingerprint Template

• Minutiae Base– Cannot recreate a fingerprint image from the

template– Standard for Law Enforcement for 100 years

• Pattern Base– More Precise (better FAR)– But a fingerprint image can be recreated from

the template

14



B. Government Projects

• Large Scale Deployment

• Citizen– National ID

• Government Employees– Military– Transportation

Brunei

• Multi-Application Citizen card:– 0.3 millions cards issued– Smart card

• Contact chip with 8 Kbytes• Digital certificates on the cards• 2 Fingerprint templates and photo ID stored in the card

– Applications: Citizen ID

19



Malaysia

• Government Multi-Purpose Card (GMPC):– Issued to every citizen over age 12– 19 million cards expected by 2008– Smart card

• Contact chip with 32 Kbytes• Digital certificates on the cards• Fingerprint thumbprint and photo ID stored into the card

– Applications: Citizen ID, Driver’s license and passport

20



Hong Kong

• National ID Card:– Issued to every citizen over age 11– 7 million cards expected by 2007– Multos smart card

• Contact chip with 32 Kbytes• Digital certificates on the cards• 2 Fingerprints templates and photo ID stored into the card

– Applications: Citizen ID– Optional Applications: Driver’s license and e-purse

21



Macau

• National ID Card:– 0.5 million cards expected by 2007– Java card

• Contact chip with 32 Kbytes• Digital certificates on the cards• Fingerprint stored into the card

– Applications: Citizen ID, Driver’s license and more

22



China

• National ID Card:– Not started yet (has been delayed for years)– Will be issued to every citizen older than 16 years– Around 800 million cards expected– Might issue 70 million cards in 2004 !– Controlled by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS)– Application: ID only– Will use 4 Kbytes contactless

• MIFARE, ISO-14443 type B or Hua Hong

23



ICAO

• International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)– May 28th 2003, adopted the integration of biometric

identification information on Passports and Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD)

– Facial recognition was selected as prime biometrics– Fingerprints and eyes can also be integrated (option)– They selected high-capacity, contactless integrated

circuit (IC) chips to store identification information– 188 Member States with more than 700 million MRTD

(Passport, Visa, Identity Card)

24



TWIC

• Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC)• Controlled by Department of Homeland Security• Will be issued to 15 million transportation

workers• US Transportation facilities:

429 airports & 361 seaports• Technology evaluations are in process

25



USVISIT

• USVISIT : US Visitor Immigration Status Indication Technology System

• Control by the U.S. Homeland Security Agency• By October 2004, Visa Waiver (26 nations) Countries

need to begin issuing passports carrying biometric data• Application: Border crossing (Visa)• Will incorporate features of the DoD CAC Card

– Java Card– Three digital certificates

• 2 chips– Contact chip of 64 Kbytes– Contactless (ISO-14443) chip for building access

26



DoD

• US Department of Defense (DoD)• Called the Common Access Card (CAC)• Almost 2 million cards issued out of 4 million• Java Card with Contact chip, 32 Kbytes

– Three digital certificates– Will include fingerprint template (Identix)

• Plan to:– Expand memory to 64 Kbytes– Add contactless chip (ISO-14443)

27



Middle-East

• Oman (1.2 million cards)– Index fingerprint & photo– Citizens and residents 15 and over– Applications: Passport, Driver’s license, Medical data– Plan to add digital certificates

28



Others

• Spain: Social Security Card with biometrics and smart card chip

• Netherlands: Biometrics into passport by 2004• U.K. Asylum Seekers Card: Fingerprint and

photo on a smart card chip• Mexico: Voter Registration

29



C. Benefits

• Improve National Security

• Minimize paying services for non-residents

30



Risks

• Large infrastructure and expensive

• Influenced by Politics and Legislation

• User acceptance and Privacy Law concerns

• Case of Multi-Applications, creates power struggle between Government Agencies

31



Conclusion

• But budgets are there

• Security threats are here

• New legislations are in place

• These large scale projects generate momentum for other projects
