Strategies and Standards for the Implementation
of ePassports

2
Introduction
  • Passports Australia Background
  • Passports Biometrics
  • Standards
  • Questions

3
Passports Australia Services Snapshot
  • 1.2 million passports issued on average per year
  • About 3.5 million high quality digital passport
    images
  • Currently 9 issuing offices in Australia
    London/Washington
  • Call centre handles 3 million phone calls per
    year
  • Daily data transfer for border control

4
Unisys working with Passports Australia
  • Expanding relationship over several years
  • Online Strategic Plan (2001)
  • Customer Care Consultancy (2002)
  • On-line strategy implementation (2003-ongoing)
  • Biometric research and development (2002-ongoing)

5
Passports Australia
  • Imaging Workflow enabled System
  • In place since 2001
  • 4 Million high quality colour images
  • What can Australia do with this Platform?

6
Biometrics
7
What is Biometrics
Biometrics is the automated use of physiological
or behavioral characteristics to determine or
verify identity. Biometrics Identity
Verification in a Networked World Samir
Nanavati, Michael Thieme, Raj Nanavati Wiley
Tech Brief ISBN 0471-09945-7
8
Biometrics Selection
  • Fingerprint
  • Facial recognition
  • Iris recognition
  • Hand geometry
  • Voice recognition

9
Face Advantages for Australia
  • Minimise change to existing process
  • ICAO mandated biometric
  • Legacy database
  • Use photo for human verification

10
Business Drivers
  • Identification
  • ICAO new technologies working group
  • Passports interactive web site strategy
  • Australian Customs border facilitation
  • USA enhanced border security visa reform act

11
Biometrics Research Development
  • Improve identity verification strengthen the
    detection of fraud
  • Secure placement of a biometric in the Australian
    passport
  • Unisys selected via Competitive tender
  • 3 Year Project July 2002 June 2005

12
Identification or Verification
Who is this person?
Identification
(many one-to-one comparisons)
Is this person who he/she claims to be?
Identification (1Many) compares the applicant
against a database Verification (11) ensures
that the applicant is who he or she claims
13
Assessing the Technology
  • Compare 2 different facial recognition systems
  • Comparable results to USA NIST FRVT2002
  • New version - noticeable improvement

Chip in the Passport
  • ICAO document specifies chip requirements
  • Requirements included
  • Some excluded issuing countrys discretion
  • High capacity chips (gt 64K) are emerging
    technologies (rapid developments)
  • Conformance to standards does not ensure
    interoperability

17
Card Standards
  • Identification integrated circuit cards with
    contacts (ISO 7816 family)
  • Contactless integrated circuit cards (ISO 14443
    family)
  • Broad specifications leave room for interpretation

18
ICAO Recommendations
  • ICAO TECHNICAL REPORT
  • Development and Specification of Globally
    Interoperable Biometric Standards for Machine
    Assisted Identity Confirmation Using Machine
    Readable Travel Documents having regard to the
    principles of universality, uniformity, urgency,
    technical reliability, practicality and
    durability

ICAO Biometric Blueprints
  • Global interoperability - identity
  • Expand data storage
  • Global interoperability data interpretation
  • Data protection

20
Some Lessons
21
Its more than Biometrics
  • Breeder documents
  • Cross system verification
  • Biometrics is a tool, not a panacea

22
Use of Biometrics
  • Identification (1many)
  • Verification (11)
  • Authentication (your staff)
  • Watch lists (1few)
  • Your border (11)
  • Other countrys borders (11)

23
Other Considerations
  • Your specific circumstances
  • Use your data
  • Beware vendor hype
  • Legacy data

24
Legacy Data
25
Further Considerations
  • Image standards for facial recognition
  • Compression limits
  • Compression type
