“…This data structure duplicates most of the printed data in the e-passport's Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), in an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) prone font, but most importantly it also includes additional sensitive data, such as holder's biometrics [5]. The latter data is securely encoded inside the chip due to its sensitive nature and it is only disclosed outside once the reader/ IS, and the chip itself, are successfully authenticated, namely complying with privacy aspects, for all necessary biometric matching [6].…”

Abstract. The electronic passport, introduced not long ago, in 2005, is continuing to evolve in order to provide higher levels of authentication for citizens crossing international borders, while respecting their privacy. A brief overview of the whole e-passport architecture is presented, as well as the key aspects and changes that this document has been going through in its evolution. In this paper we present a promising novel PKI-based security solution that could be integrated in the next generation (4G) of electronic passports, namely in its supporting overall architecture, in the ambit of the NewP@ss project.

Adermatoglyphia: Barriers to Biometric Identification and the Need for a Standardized Alternative

Arguably, fingerprinting is the single most widely utilized method for individual identification and authentication (I&A). Dermatoglyphics form a vital portion of mass data collection, biometric scrutiny, and verification. Adermatoglyphia, or simply, loss of fingerprints attributed to a medical cause, represents a taxing situation for such biometric scrutiny systems requiring a fingerprint scan as a mandatory phase in I&A procedure. The scenario can be extremely debilitating for the adermatoglyphia patients, especially when the condition is permanent or irreversible. This article reviews different causes of adermatoglyphia, the challenge it poses to biometric identification, and the potential substitute modalities for fingerprinting technology. These modalities can function as a backup program for biometric surveillance in both medical and non-medical settings under circumstances when the fingerprinting method fails to comply.

“…An e-Passport stores the electronic information into a contactless integrated circuit (IC). The IC is composed of a microprocessor chip and a radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna embedded either into the center page, the back or the front cover of the e-Passport [Atanasiu and Mihailescu 2010]. To protect the information contained in the e-Passport, the data are protected with public-key infrastructure (PKI) cryptographic technology, and the chip implements several security protocols [Mostowski and Poll 2010].…”

Biometric Recognition in Automated Border Control

The increasing demand for traveler clearance at international border crossing points (BCPs) has motivated research for finding more efficient solutions. Automated border control (ABC) is emerging as a solution to enhance the convenience of travelers, the throughput of BCPs, and national security. This is the first comprehensive survey on the biometric techniques and systems that enable automatic identity verification in ABC. We survey the biometric literature relevant to identity verification and summarize the best practices and biometric techniques applicable to ABC, relying on a real experience collected in the field. Furthermore, we select some of the major biometric issues raised and highlight the open research areas.
