【正文】 this proposition. We have always said that our requirements are for a data repository that could be populated one record at a time? Strategic Action Plan ? Existing government databases will now be used for the key elements of the system. – Biometric information will be stored ?initially? on existing biometric systems used for asylum seekers and biometric visas – Biographical information will be stored on the Department of Work and Pension’s Customer Information System – Technical, PKI, data will be stored on existing UKIPS systems. Security? ? Must be assumed that each of these databases has been selected because UKIPS is confident that each system already has the requisite level of security Contracts? ? All based on existing contracts with technology suppliers. ? New uses of the databases will have implications on the performance of the existing systems ? Issues with contract renegotiations, including who will pay suppliers Biometrics ? Iris scanning no longer part of the Scheme ‘a(chǎn)t this time’ ? ?We will put in place the skills and expertise to support largescale use of biometric matching. Biometric technology identifies small percentages of what are known as ‘false matches’ or ‘false nonmatches’. These need expert human assessment to ensure that matches are being made correctly. For this, we will build on resources which currently exist within government? Katherine Courtney ? ?There has been a remendation that no single biometric is the solution. What we are looking for from the multiple biometrics is a system bined with the checking of people’s biographical footprints … that allows us to attempt to avoid a duplicate registration of identities? Continued ? ?There is no single biometric today that is universally applicable to everybody. You may have individuals, for example, who have lost their hands and are unable to register fingerprint biometrics but would be able to register a face and irises. We were looking to create a scheme that was universally accessible for people, and that was one of the important reasons? Dr Henry Bloomfield ? ?What we may do is use fingerprint and iris biometrics in conjunction so that if it turns out that your fingerprint matched against a few other people’s fingerprints in the database, it is possible that an iris biometric may then be used to discriminate amongst those people? Katherine Courtney ? ?You cannot record someone’s fingerprints if they do not have any fingers. That is a known limitation and one of the reasons behind our intention to use multiple biometrics to try to overe that limitation? Facial biometrics? ? ?Current facial recognition technology is not reliable enough to enable the automated checking of applications against the full database of existing passport holders although the IPS is piloting its use on a smaller scale? ? This is, in part, because of the limited resolution (300 dpi) of the facial image Biographical verification ? Biographical footprint checks involve face–to–face interviews with registrants of 10–20 minutes duration. ? ?At the interview, customers will be asked basic information about themselves—not deeply private information, but information that can be checked to confirm that they are who they say they are checking? ? Interviews initially targeted a first time applicants for passports, taking place at the 69 new interview centre locations. ? Based on assumption of 600,000 first time passport applicants per year. ? By 202211, 4,220,000 new and renewed passports ? News reports suggest that the questions will be drawn from a list of 200 possible questions Home Office response to LSE alternative blueprint ? The LSE claims that the Government plans to vet people’s ?life history and activities? in the enrolment process. ? We have no intention of vetting a person’s life history and activities. We are simply confirming the true existence of an identity before issuing an ID cardthat is not the same as obtaining details about someone’s life activities or their credit history ePassports ? The UK ID card is intended to be usable like a passport within Europe ? The data stored on the ID card chip would be patible with those chips installed in biometric passports (. conforming to ICAO standards about data storage, activation and transmission). NAO report ? Only two suppliers suitable for sourcing the chips ? The durability of the chip for the full ten year life of an epassport ?remains unproven? – Manufacturers are currently only providing a chip warranty for two years – Unclear what the warranty actually covers – It takes at least 8 seconds for front desk readers to read chip data Intellect vs David Davis ? Just as much as laws, the design of IT systems can have strong effects
