One of the basic forms of personal identification, the passport, is on the verge of taking on a new, high-tech identity.
European Data Protection Supervisor Peter Hustinx criticised governments' fondness for biometrics to identify citizens and warned that greater interoperability of databases may have serious implications for people.
Critics of the SmartGate facial recognition system will soon be silenced said the co-author of the first comprehensive study on the program expected to be released next year.
The Australian Customs Service (ACS) has revealed a late-November start date for its biometric passport recognition pilot at Sydney Airport ahead of a likely nationwide rollout of the system.
Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, has said biometrics technology is vital to Australian border security, but an audit of the department has found it neglected to properly research its current use within government.
Can a national ID card protect Australians against terrorist attacks? And can citizens' details be protected by Public Key Infrastructure? We look at the types of hardware and software employed to combat terrorism, and how ports and other critical infrastructure are protected.
Countries including the UK and the US are putting biometrics at the forefront of plans to improve national border security but there are still significant issues to be solved before the technology is up to the job.
There are skilled workers and employers looking for them--but how do we match the two up?
Countries begin test programs -- get ready for a facial scan the next time you take an overseas flight.
The Australian Computer Society's president Edward Mandla speaks to ZDNet Australia about the new-look ACS, upcoming policies and why he wants teachers and marketeers to join the Society.
