“He was an English officer in charge
of building roads in Bengal,” explains
Bernard Didier, Vice President R&T
Business Development at Sagem
Sécurité (Safran Group). “He had his
subcontractors sign contracts with
their fingerprints, thus making it easier
to find them if they defaulted.”
This application already expresses
the basic principle of biometrics: to
identify a person based on certain
characteristics, whether anatomical
(size, fingerprints, iris, odor, etc.) or
behavioral (way of walking, footfall,
handwriting, etc.).
Biometrics is inextricably linked
with the question of identity. Until
now, it was relatively easy to prove
one’s identity by certain possessions
(a key to show ownership of a car,
for example), or by knowing a secret
(password). Official ID cards are also
a proof of identity, but according

leader in this

Biometrics is proving to be one of
the best defenses against identity
theft and fraud, which is a lot
more common than one would
think. In the United States, for
instance, a Federal Trade
Commission study estimates the
financial damage to the U.S.
economy due to ID fraud at $53
billion! In the United Kingdom, the
estimate is £1.72 billion. And all
indications are that this type of
fraud is accelerating at a dizzy
pace. Of course, Internet use
continues to boom, and in the
virtual world, it’s still relatively
easy to pretend you’re somebody
else!

S agem Sécurité, part of the Safran
Group, is a pioneer in biometric
systems for police forces. In fact,
it leads the field, with more than
60 systems up and running worldwide.
Its client list includes such prestigious
organizations as the FBI, the British
Home Office, Interpol and the German
and Australian police. The FBI’s
database, for instance, lists more than
700 million fingerprints, and is consulted
more than 50,000 times a day. For
many years, this was the core business
at Sagem Sécurité, accounting for half
of its biometric revenues. Today, civilian
applications have caught up with, or
even surpassed police applications, and
often involve very hefty contracts.
Biometric ID card
In South America, Colombia chose
Sagem Sécurité to provide a highly
secure biometric ID card to all citizens
over 14 years old by the end of
2009 – a total of 33 million people!
The company’s engineers developed
mobile registration stations which will
travel around the country to accomplish
this immense task. Sagem Sécurité
(Safran Group) is already an old
hand at this type of operation, since
it has conducted similar campaigns
in Malaysia and Mauritania. Furthermore,
since 2006 Sagem Sécurité has
been working in Mexico to deploy a
huge multibiometric system – combining
fingerprints and facial recognition
– to combat electoral fraud, one of the
problems facing this young democracy.
Mexico will have the largest multibiometric
system in the world. Today,

type in the world.
