Date Posted: Thursday, February 06, 12:52:44am In reply to: Joint Communique - 8 August 2002Australian Transport Council 's message, "commitment to national interoperable standards/ticketing/tolling" on Saturday, February 01, 11:13:53am http://www.abc.net.au/news/2003/01/item20030129171454_1.htm ----------------------------------------------------------- Face scan set to replace passport check ----------------------------------------------------------- A new air passenger identification system that uses automatic photo-matching technology instead of a Customs officer has been launched in Sydney. ------------------------------------------------------------ The technology is called biometrics and uses body characteristics like fingerprints, iris patterns and face recognition to check identity. ------------------------------------------------------------ Passengers will walk through a kiosk called Smartgate, place their passport picture on a scanner and look into a camera, which performs verification in less than 10 seconds. ------------------------------------------------------------ It replaces the face-to-passport check normally done by a Customs official and takes into account age, ethnicity, expression and changes such as hair and glasses. ----------------------------------------------------------- Customs Minister Senator Chris Ellison says the technology shows Australia is leading the way in securing its skies and borders. ----------------------------------------------------------- "I see this as a forerunner for an international change in the way we're assessed at the primary line and passports," he said ----------------------------------------------------------- The $1.2 million project is being trialled at Sydney's international airport and soon will be extended to other Australian airports. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dr Ted Dunstone, chief of the company that developed the software, says the system is safe but not foolproof. ----------------------------------------------------------- "There are a number of different potential vulnerabilities. If you videotaped somebody and you made them up to look like another person, it would [be] quite difficult still to get that inner structural features of somebody's face. ----------------------------------------------------------- "But if people are prepared to pay enough money to attack a particular system there are always vulnerabilities that can be found." ------------------------------------------------------------ Lost-(Lost values)(bloody writedowns--LOL) reply who is I.T. literate to Pessimist (doctrine of conservatism) ------------------------------------------------------------ HI pessimsit, ------------------------------------------------------------ That is correct, however if people in australia want to travel to US then they will require a smart card with this information on it. ------------------------------------------------------------ Best of Luck Lost ------------------------------------------------------------ [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
