In France, facial recognition tests underway for the e-”carte vitale”
BiometricsThe french e-”carte vitale” (operating via a mobile application, available on mobile and tablet) is a novelty that is part of the process of dematerialization of procedures and digitalization of the medical sphere, initiated by the french government. It allows users to authenticate to all online health services simply, quickly and securely, using their smartphone.
The first tests of the “apCV” application
The mobile application called “apCV” has been tested since spring 2019 in 2 departments of France. It can be downloaded on mobile or tablet, contains all the data of the card and offers the same healthcare reimbursement functionalities. Other additional features are integrated into it: access to his personal space on Ameli.fr, access to the official health insurance website, doctor’s declaration.
The first experiments since 2019 have been carried out in the Rhône and the Alpes-Maritimes. Users use their application instead of their card.
New tests with facial recognition
Since summer 2019, this card on a mobile application has been tested in two departments. Initially scheduled to end in May 2020, this experiment should be repeated in 10 other departments.
But that’s not the only novelty: the app will use facial recognition. The user will log in using his social security number and it is a video selfie with dynamic detection of proof of life (facial movements) which will then allow him to be identified, the application verifying the face with a saved image.
This system will make it possible to secure the use of the application, prevent any identity theft and make its use simpler and faster.
IDEMIA offers a brand new multi-biometric system: MBIS
BiometricsIDEMIA’s new multi-biometric identification system, MBIS, is a facial recognition and fingerprint system that can instantly identify a suspect. This system can be used in criminal cases, as part of police investigations or border controls.
A new system used by INTERPOL and provided by IDEMIA
Used by INTERPOL and supplied by IDEMIA, this new identification system will be more powerful: its identification capacity will be stronger, more precise and the user interfaces more ergonomic. This technology is also optimized for research and analysis in large quantities! In particular, it’s possible to do about a million searches per day, combining fingerprint, palmprint and facial recognition searches. It is therefore the most efficient system for forensic science.
These improvements and scientific advances promise the democratization of the use of biometrics in other areas by INTERPOL, for example at border checkpoints.
INTERPOL AND IDEMIA: a long-standing collaboration
This is not the first time that INTERPOL has used IDEMIA for its identification systems: their collaboration began more than 20 years ago, with the first automated fingerprint identification system. Originally, this system enabled INTERPOL member police forces to better collaborate with each other through a common database of suspect fingerprints.
In 2016, INTERPOL also used IDEMIA for a facial recognition system, which identified more than 300 suspects in 2019.
Biometric security is therefore one of the best assets in the fight against crime, which also improves its techniques year after year. The police therefore have every interest in equipping themselves with the most innovative technologies.
The use of biometrics for contactless access is being advanced by Telefónica and IDEMIA
BiometricsIDEMIA’s biometric reader Morphowave, which provides fully touchless access control technology, has been presented by Telefónica in their demonstration and innovation center.
Morphowave captures and verifies 4 fingerprints in less than a second with a simple contactless handwave. And, more than 10,000 units are currently in operation worldwide.
Telefónica is focusing on biometric access control devices for their latest innovation catalog. The company presents their advanced technology to clients in the Distrito Telefónica’s Demonstration and Innovation Center.
In the coming months, Telefónica Tech’s Ingeniería de Seguridad (TIS) division will fully embrace this technology as an integral USP in their future hi-tech security systems projects, focusing on offering customers revolutionary solutions to bring added benefit to all their hi-tech security projects.
The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a surge in demand for hygienic, stable, and healthy tech solutions among businesses of all sizes, propelling Telefonica to the leading edge of the Spanish anti-Covid technology industry.
IDEMIA: New member of SPAC group
CompanyIDEMIA announces that its entity dedicated to biometric terminals is joining the Smart Physical Access Control (SPAC) organization. IDEMIA now intends to actively participate in the actions of the consortium by providing its expertise in the field of biometrics, access control and security.
SPAC’s role in digital security
SPAC is an organization that brings together European digital security players around an information, training and standardization mission. Thus the birth of the organization was motivated by a booming regulatory environment to fight against cyber threats and cyber attacks.
In accordance with the directives of the NIS (Network and Information Security), actions are undertaken such as the establishment of Operators of Vital Importance (OIV) asking Member States to define their Essential Service Organizations (OES), on authentication biometric for physical access control.
SPAC’s mission is to promote French and European know-how on end-to-end security of physical access control solutions, and to allow companies to be independent and autonomous in the management of their security with opened and sustainable solutions. SPAC also actively supports the SSCP (Smart Secure Communication Protocol) standard for more interoperable and autonomous security in Europe.
SPAC & IDEMIA
SPAC already brings together several French actors in access control such as the National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (ANSSI). IDEMIA, a major player in the access control ecosystem in France with its biometric terminals, further demonstrates its commitment to cybersecurity by joining the SPAC group.
IDEMIA, world leader in the field of biometrics, provides you with biometric readers such as MorphoWave, a contactless fingerprint reader “on the fly” by a simple gesture of the hand in the device, or VisionPass, a high-performance facial recognition device, or the Sigma range of fingerprint readers.
The French leader IDEMIA and the biometrics market
BiometricsIDEMIA, a company created from the merger of Oberthur Technologies and Morpho, has become the market leader in biometrics security. This French company is not about to stop.
Since the sanitary crisis emerged in early 2020, the notion of hygiene has become an additional reason to ensure the safety and security of individuals. IDEMIA realized that Contactless technology was in demand.
In 2014, IDEMIA launched an amazing contactless solution: the MorphoWave Compact. This biometric reader is designed to read four fingerprints on the fly in less than a second. It was chosen by IDEMIA to secure access to its headquarters in Paris-La Défense. Indeed, this contactless system is fast, precise and hygienic.
Facial recognition, another contactless technology has had an increasing demand in the last few months, which is a real opportunity in the security market. And, IDEMIA is not to be outdone, since it has just released solution for that: the VisionPass. This robust and reliable contactless biometric reader is able to provide near –motion 1 second verification, through multiple angles and in all light conditions.
Visionpass has associated Artifical Intelligence and facial recognition algorithms with a state of the art optical solution combining 2D and 3D cameras. Visionpass resists all kinds of stacks and spoofing attempts, answer the needs of the most demanding customers and institutions.
To have presence in strategic places is the strength of the group, such as the Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport. Passengers can use their facial photos, their ID documents and the barcode on the boarding cards, to generate a biometric template, which will allow them to be identified at the boarding gates. And, the user experience is clearly improved.
Working with major security actors such as the FBI and Interpol, through the Augmented Vision based on facial recognition is another important strength of IDEMIA, which could be used to find a targeted individual in a crowd of people after an attack, for example.
Eventually, IDEMIA would work on the storage of biometric data in smartphone, which could allow people to access the stadiums for the 2024 Olympic Games.
