Imagine walking through an airport without stopping at a booth because a smart system already knows it's you. It uses a mix of physical traits instead of just a passport, which is easier to fake. It's like a digital key that proves who you are without actually sharing your private data with everyone.
Identity theft and counterfeit travel documents are creating a security epidemic at EU borders. This leads to increased workloads for authorities and slow, frustrating crossing experiences for travelers.
A multi-modal biometric identification platform and a set of fraud detection tools for identity documents and biometric hardware.
If you are a Border Guard Authority dealing with an epidemic of counterfeit documents and identity theft — this project developed a multi-modal biometric platform that reduces stops at checkpoints and detects fraud at the hardware level.
If you are an Airport Operator dealing with long queues and strains at border checkpoints — this project developed a frictionless identification method that streamlines the crossing experience for EU and Third Country Nationals.
If you are an Identity Management Provider dealing with the fact that 56% of Europeans have experienced fraud — this project developed a distributed Multi-Biometric Data Space that allows identity checks without transferring personal biometric data.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the technology are not provided.
Yes, the project is designed for interoperability with EU border management and uses a distributed data space where each Member State keeps its own national data.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project involves 12 industry partners and 9 SMEs.
The solution is GDPR compliant and uses privacy-preserving mechanisms to ensure that biometric data is not revealed or transferred during cross-border checks.
The project period runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, indicating the development and testing phase is ongoing.
The consortium is highly commercially oriented, with a 50% industry ratio consisting of 12 companies, including 9 SMEs. This strong industrial presence, spanning 13 countries, suggests the project is focused on practical market application rather than pure academic research, leveraging a mix of 4 research centers and 1 university.
