  1. Possible Experiences and Visions in Biometrics as a Contribution for Europe by a German Federal Public Administration Agency La Biometria entra nell`e-government 6th. Convegno, CNIPA Dipl. Mathematician Klaus Keus Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Germany Head of Unit „Key Technologies“ Ciclo di convegni di studio CNIPA Rome, 23. November 2004

  2. BSI-Biometric projects in the context of internal / homeland security • Main Background:In the ‚Anti-Terrorism Act II‘ as of Jan. 09 2002 it is now allowed to integrate biometric data in the German Identification Card (Personalausweis) and in the passport (Reisepass) as well as in ID-doc`s for aliens • The following Biometrics are mentioned in the law: • Hand • Face • Finger

  3. 25 interior ministers in Luxemburg • After technical details are agreed upon: • 18 months for inclusion of face image in contactless chip on european passports • Further 18 months for inclusion of finger print • Germany will produce biometric passports before the end of 2005 October 25, 2004, EU decision on biometric passports

  4. Relevance of biometrics in Germany (1) • Increased activities of international terrorism requires new mechanisms to guarantee and even increase the security level of inhabitants • Benefit of biometrics for internal security: • to check of claimed identities, • to reveal secretely kept identities, • Examples: credit card misuse, false personal documents, forged visa. • Strategy: • Dialogue with security agencies like BSI and BKA (Federal Criminal Police Office) to realize possibilities to increase security with the means of biometrics • Targetted & sensible implementation of biometrics in order to increase the security level in Germany

  5. Relevance of biometrics in Germany (2) • Possible applications: • Secure documents for foreigners (visa, residence certifications) • Border control of persons entering the country • Secure identification of personal documents (ID-cards & passports) • Access control to sensitive areas (official identification card for public servants) • Crucial: high security & performance, approved level of trust • European & international cooperation • Support of standardization to secure national & international operability

  6. Projects in the context of internal security • Choice of specific biometric characteristic and technical details requires further legislation! => Different Projects set up together with the BKA in order to make recommendations on the ground of large-scale trials some of the main current BSI-projects: • BioFace • BioRechInt • BioFinger • BioP • ILSE

  7. BioFace • Objectives: Investigation of Facial Recognition Systems: are FRS sufficient for gov. use? • I: Establishing Image Data Bases and classification of images; approx. 200.000 images; 116 images for identification used; verification with 50.000 images cross-matching • II: test of 3 algorithms, identification and verification; Field Trial with 4 algorithms with 20 persons; access control via identification/watch-list-scenario (august 2002-april 2003) • III: Interferences of reference data; rotation of head; mimic; graphic (e.g. resolution) and photographic (e.g. lighting) interference (july 2003-april 2004) • IV: Morphologic particularities (planned) • V: 3-D-field trial (running) • VI: Publically available gallery of 300 persons with approx. 70 different images, analogue to phase III

  8. BioFinger • Objectives: Set up of a fingerprint database • BioFinger I • Influence of different fingerprint sensors/algorithms on template; 11 sensors, 7 algorithms; Finding: crucial influence of used sensor for success of recognition; best performer: optical sensors • Are fingerprint usable for 10 years, regarding the sensors? Tendency: EER increases by factor 1,6 to 2 when using ten year old fingerprint • Development of a General Fingerprint - is CBEFF usable? Finding: CBEFF not usable due to too much differences in templates. • BioFinger II • Improvement of the performance when using more than one fingerprint?; using same data as BioFinger I, same algorithms and sensors

  9. BioRechInt • Objectives: Current status report on international biometrics applications with set of criteria to assess;Establishing large database with applications, products and test/validation results • Schedule: • National report finished 2002 • International in 2003, continuation throughout 2004 underway

  10. BioP I BioP II Investigation of the performance of face rec. systems for the planned implementation in personal documents Investigation of the performance of different biometrics identification systems Nov. 2002 - Dec. 2003 Nov. 2003 - Nov. 2004 BioP - Study Biometrics in Personal Documents BioP

  11. BioP I - Results • Facial Recognition is in principle able to perform the task set by ICAO. • Requirements for German Documents (and all MRTDs) • Integrating digital storage media • New photo guidelines according to ICAO • Requirements for Facial Recognition Systems • Improvement of Fake Resistance • Optimizing the Algorithms, tuning towards image files vs. Templates • Robustness against ageing (research required) • Requirements for the Environment • use facial recognition only in human assisted border control • controlled lighting

  12. BioP II • Objectives: • Based on the knowledge of the other projects on three biometrics including • Performance • Security • Usability and acceptance. • Large-scale fieldtest at Frankfurt Airport to examine the usability of face, finger and iris-recognition biometrics for a large user group (~2000). • Taking into account ICAO-recommendations (e.g. images, RFID-chips, LDS) • Schedule: Nov. 2003 - Nov. 2004

  13. Comparison of 3 different biometrics • Comparison of 2 different fingerprint systems • Comparison of different reference data (images ICAO vs. proprietary template) • Evaluation of performance • FTE, FRR, FAR • Illustration • Genuine-imposter-frequency diagrams • FAR-FRR-diagrams • ROC-curves • Fake-Resistance • life-recognition • zero-effort-attempts • ICAO-recommendations: LDS and images Analysis

  14. First Trends • General • High complexity of a large field-trial in terms of technical, administrative and legal aspects • Communication with users and transparency crucial • Communication with data protection officer and working council most relevant; high strategic relevance for companies • Details • Enrolment most relevant • Quality of the reference data and constant lightning conditions • Usability depending on system design and configuration • Sensor, time, feedback (transparency) • Acceptance dependent on personal favourites

  15. ICAO-conformed Data structures Interface BioP II ILSE BioP II Biometrics in Personaldocuments ILSE ICAO LDS and Security Evaluation

  16. Project ILSE“ICAO LDS and Security Evaluation” Goal • Design and implementation of an interoperablee-Passport solution • Analysis and concretion of the corresponding ICAO documents Methodology • Study the ICAO documents and try to use them for an implementation • Identify inconsistencies, inexactness and flaws • Report the results to the standardization body

  17. ILSEResults and Cooperations Results • Essential contributions to the recent ICAO specifications • LDS Report v1.7 • PKI Report v1.0 • Interoperable e-Passport samples from Bundesdruckerei and Giesecke & Devrient • “Golden Reader Tool” implemented by secunet The “Essen Group” • Joint approach between NL, UK and D targeted on next generation e-Passports • First meeting on 26.01.2004 in Essen • Participants from official institutions and companies • Definition of common reference data “Silver Data Set” • Interoperable e-Passport samples among NL, UK and D based on the “Silver Data Set” • Presentation of the results during the internationale-Passport testing in Morgantown, USA (07/2004)

  18. BSI Lab for Biometrics: Main Task Areas Vulnerability Analysis • Verification / Identification as „other“ person • Enrolment under new, changed Identity • „Denial of Service“ Useability of biometric systems Analysis of Performance • FAR • FRR • impact of special environment and operational conditions
