Objectives

Short term

Objective 1 – To identify existing or possible future fraud methods in regard to travel documents and identity.

Objective 2 – To create new technologies in automated document fraud, face morphing and impostor attack detection to overcome the limitations of current document readers and corresponding software in automated and non-automated border control scenarios.

Objective 3 – To enable new technologies in unobtrusive person identification that improve the recognition of travellers on-the-move as well as known suspects giving special focus on applicability to the given infrastructure.

Medium – long term

Objective 4 – To produce evidence-based knowledge on document fraud and biometrics on the fly in compliance with European societal values, fundamental rights and applicable legislation, supported by end users by applying agile methodologies and developing demonstrators in different border control scenarios, inspired by privacy- and security by design.

Objective 5 – To provide a cost-benefit analysis and plan for the take up of the project results after the completion of the project, having first established the legal and social propriety of such initiatives. This will give the legislative initiative in the “Smart Borders” package, European border and law-enforcement agencies, European technology suppliers a perspective for their respective further development.
