Date Posted: Wednesday, February 12, 09:04:43am In reply to: 16:43 21 September 01--worlds first biometric data compulsory 's message, "Malaysian government--to authorise financial payments and withdraw cash" on Tuesday, February 11, 05:21:52pm Japan to introduce biometrics passports in 2-3 years ----------------------------------------------------------- 06/02/2003 ----------------------------------------------------------- Japan is aiming to introduce passports using biometrics technology in the next two to three years to authenticate identities in an effort to enhance passport security, Kyodo News reported Monday. ----------------------------------------------------------- The technology is a measure to prevent counterfeiting and illegal use of passports. But since individual information will be recorded, the use of such technology is expected to stir debate in terms of privacy protection. ----------------------------------------------------------- According to Kyodo, the United States enacted a law in May 2002 under which it will not issue visa waivers unless applicants possess passports incorporating information that can confirm their identity. ----------------------------------------------------------- Deliberations are currently being conducted at the International Civil Aviation Organization and among Group of Eight (G-8) major countries on how to set a common standard, Kyodo said. ----------------------------------------------------------- Although the information to be included has yet to be decided, fingerprints, palm prints, voice data, iris data or retina data are among options, it said. ----------------------------------------------------------- The country plans to decide on what data to use based on deliberations on the international standard, Kyodo added. ----------------------------------------------------------- Document xnews00020030203dz23004h5 ----------------------------------------------------------- [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
