biometric passport in

passport that will be
mandatory starting
in June 2009, in
application of a
European regulation.
The main difference
from the current
passport is that, in
addition to the photo,
it will also have two
digitized fingerprints.
The widespread use
of this passport will
help us fight against
identity theft and
fraud, and also
facilitate border
checks. The French
data protection
authority (CNIL)
will shortly be asked
to issue a
recommendation on
this matter.

Border control
With terrorist threats on the rise and
immigration at the forefront of government
concerns, biometrics can also be
applied to border control systems. For
example, Sagem Sécurité supplied five
major airports in Britain with special
automatic control stations that allow
frequent flyers and volunteers (travelers
have to register) to avoid the manual
passport control windows. The passenger
enters the booth, looks at a camera
which analyzes the iris in both eyes, and,
if everything is in order, the gate opens
on the other side in just a few seconds.
Dubbed “Iris”, this system greatly speeds
up passenger traffic in airports. It’s a very
timely solution, given the rapid growth in
air travel and the upcoming service entry of
the Airbus A380, with some 600 passengers
all eager to deplane in short order.
Sagem Sécurité is a coordinator of the
Visabio project, a biometric visa issued
by France to foreigners entering the
Schengen area (15 European countries
requiring a single visa). The company
has also won a contract for Europe’s
future visa system, tasked with guaranteeing
the authenticity of biometric

booming, driven by increased security
needs and the growing demand for
protection against all types of fraud.
Sagem Sécurité is ideally positioned to
capitalize on these opportunities, since
it is already a global leader in biometrics.

bod y parts
The quality of a biometric
analysis depends on a judicious
choice of the body part, which
has to meet three main criteria:
it has to be universal, unique and
unchanging over time. Several
parts of our body meet these
criteria. The uncontested king is
of course the finger and its print,
which combines accuracy and
comfort (it’s easier to place one’s
finger on a detector than to place
your eye in front of a camera).
But other approaches have
made breakthroughs in recent
years. In particular iris
recognition is at least as
accurate as fingerprints, while
facial recognition requires
a relatively simple detector
(a camera), but is not as
accurate.
Another key biological element
is of course our DNA, reputed
infallible, although entailing
certain legitimate ethics issues.
However, the DNA must be
physically sampled from the
person to be tested, and the
processing is long and costly.
A person can be identified from
his or her palm prints. Or even
from walk, or footfall patterns,
but both of these techniques are
still nascent and do not offer
sufficient precision.

technology. How does a system
differentiate between individual
fingerprints, irises or faces? That’s the
job of biometric processing software,
which calls on very different methods
depending on the body part in
question.
