SafeTravellers: Secure and Frictionless Identity for EU and Third Country National Citizens

Description du projet

Des contrôles d’identité qui ne compromettent pas les données à caractère personnel

L’usurpation d’identité est un problème omniprésent, dont des millions de personnes sont victimes dans le monde. Dans l’UE, les attaques frauduleuses sophistiquées se multiplient, touchant un Européen sur deux rien qu’au cours des deux dernières années. Les responsables de la sécurité mettent en garde contre une «épidémie», alimentée par la demande des demandeurs d’asile et des terroristes qui utilisent des documents contrefaits. Dans ce contexte, le projet SafeTravellers, financé par l’UE, vise à renforcer la sécurité aux frontières et à fournir des outils pour lutter contre la fraude à l’identité. Son approche implique une identification multibiométrique, améliorant les méthodes de vérification actuelles tout en assurant la conformité au RGPD et en protégeant la vie privée des citoyens. Grâce à SafeTravellers, le passage des frontières se fait en toute transparence en recourant à un espace de données multibiométriques européen distribué qui facilite les contrôles d’identité sécurisés sans compromettre les données personnelles.

Objectif

Identity theft is rapidly expanding, causing substantial financial loss to millions of people all around the world. This invisible crime is also widespread across EU countries, where a growing number of citizens is targeted by sophisticated fraudulent attacks each year, both offline and online. 56% of Europeans have experienced at least one type of fraud in the last two years. European security officials speak of an “epidemic” created by a spike in demand from asylum-seekers and from terrorists carrying counterfeit documents to enter the EU. Security documents are increasingly being counterfeited or tampered with by criminals to facilitate transnational crime. The continued vulnerability of different types of identity and travel documents makes it extremely difficult to combat this problem. SafeTravellers value proposition aims at a) strengthening the security at the borders, b) improving the productivity of the Border Authorities and LEAs by providing them with the appropriate tools to combat identity fraud at the hardware, identity and travel document, and biometrics level, while c) offering a frictionless border crossing experience for EU/TCN citizens as they will not have to stop at the border checkpoints. SafeTravellers is both proposing a new way of citizen identification based on multiple biometrics instead of the problematic identity document, as well as an enhancement of the current way of identity verification at the borders through a set of tools that will detect attacks at the biometric hardware, identity and travel document fraud and attempts to falsify biometrics. The proposed solution is GDPR compliant and introduces various privacy-preserving mechanisms to safeguard the citizens' rights. Through the distributed European Multi-Biometric Data Space offered by SafeTravellers, each Member State will keep in its jurisdiction the personal data of its country nationals while allowing cross-border identity checks without transferring or revealing any biometric data.
