market needs.
Thinking ahead
8

We provide solutions to cover the wide-ranging needs
of identity management programs, tailored to the
customer’s specific needs.
Matches the specific needs of
governments and road traffic authorities
9

Top notch solutions
10
Our innovative technologies include cutting
edge face recognition and anti-fraud features.
“The most accurate biometric algorithms rank in the
World.” (NI ST PFT test, 2010)

Facial recognition enables the applicant’s identity to be verified.
• We can authenticate the person, i.e., check that the person
is who she/he claims to be. This avoids identity theft.
• We can identify the person, i.e., check that the person exists
only once in the database. This prevents anyone from
having multiple driver’s licenses.
Biometric technology for a secure
driver’s license issuance process
11

Analyzes the 3-dimensional structure of an individual’s
face, thereby significantly enhancing performance.
Accuracy, Speed, Robustness
12

13
An invisible near-infrared light pattern is projected on the user’s face
Camera captures distortions in the pattern caused by the face’s surface
The precise 3D geometry of the face is calculated with over 40,000
points
Unique facial features are extracted and stored as a template in the
database (enrollment phase) or are used to match templates already
stored in the database

Our solutions conform to the latest
standards in terms of security and
applications.
Beyond the standards
We enable you to use the largest
cryptographic keys, including elliptic
curves up to 521 bits. This permits
identification, online authentication
and electronic signatures with
maximum security.
We comply with ECC Specifications,
Common Criteria EAL 5+ security
certification for driver’s license
Applications, and the ISO/IEC 18013
standard for driver’s licenses.
Standards and security
14

We offer a choice of card bodies to meet a
variety of needs regarding lifetime and
personalization modes
 Based on the smart card
(ID1 format) form factor.
 Various materials:
Polycarbonate, TESLIN & PET.
 Contact or contactless modes.
 Specific inks and
state-of-the-art
secure printing.
Flexibility and adaptability
15

Smart card applications implemented
in the card post-issuance process:
 Demerit point management
 Car insurance certificate
 Car inspection certificate
 Toll fee payment
 Parking payment
Applications for end-users
16

3D Photo ID™ is the most
advanced Card Technology today .
It reinforces biometric verification.
It includes a laser engraved 3D
portrait as a superior first line
security feature ‒ obvious
at a glance and easy to validate.
This technology is very difficult to
counterfeit and inherently
establishes ownership between the
card and the rightful cardholder.
And more….

Electronic Driver’s License
18

eDL is the most common technology and it is wildly
used by authorities across the world to
combat fake driving licenses
A preferred solution across the world
19

 An eDL verifies the identity of
a driver and his/her
entitlement to drive and use a
vehicle.
 It is designed to reduce
identity fraud by ensuring
that the document can be
validated visually and
electronically to match the
identity of its holder.
Security and confidentiality
20

The solution is composed of identification systems,
electronic authentication, and digital signature elements
that ensure the accuracy and level of security required
to meet the needs of governments and road traffic
authorities.
Robust technology that meets the
challenges of fraud, abuse and errors
21

eDL technology is used as a multi-purpose identity
document.
One card ‒ Many uses
22
For example, in Mexico and Australia, eDL is used
to prove identity, age and access in traffic checks,
opening bank accounts, and ID control.

23

Smart card technology has been adopted in everyday
usage (banking, SIM cards, passports, e-prescriptions).
To the user, smart cards represent a secure, trusted,
convenient, and effective way to perform a wide
variety of tasks.
Raising expectations
24

Using a secure technology to issue a digital driving
license can:
 Improve public safety on roads
 Slash identity fraud
 Improve the operational efficiency of back office
procedures
 Facilitate the creation of accurate databases
Changes lives!

 Validate template with other Bio templates stored in AD under user's schema
 After successful validation , retrieve user password, encrypt it, and send it
encrypted to the station
 Check user credentials using VMware to view client
 Continue SSO process as planned
