3. Identity An identity is not: What is an identity?
A passport
DNA
A person of flesh and blood
What is an identity?
a set of data
that came into existence upon birth
which can be reduced to a single, unique person
It’s an administrative concept!

4. Identity document Purpose of an identity document:
Facilitation of business: proof of someone’s identity and nationality
Facilitation of travel
Many different documents:
Passport
Identity card
Visa / Residence permit
Driving licence
“Special” passport

5. Checking an identity document (1/4)
Use your head
Interpret what you are looking at
Beware of imposter fraud
Use appropriate tooling
Verify as much as possible automatically
Whenever in doubt, ask the experts…

6. Checking an identity document (2/4)

7. Checking an identity document (3/6)

8. Security features
Every identity document has its own, unique characteristics and security features
These features draw on some (more or less) standard concepts, such as:
Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) UV
Photo attachment
RFID Chip
Optically Variable Features
Secondary Portrait Image

9. Machine Readable Zone (1/2)
Contains:
Information about the document bearer
Information about the identity document
Check digits
Approximately 70% of all forged documents contain MRZ errors (!)

10. UV (1/2) Under UV, special patterns may appear

11. Photo attachment (1/3)
Photo’s are glued, stapled, laminated or integrated
Photo’s are integrated by laser engraving or printing
Photo substitution is a very popular attack
Prevented by laminates: check for damage or double laminate!
Checking photo attachment is difficult to perform automatically!

20. Biometrics and profiling (1/3)
Imposter or look-a-like fraud
Tactical profiling versus technical profiling
Both picture and behavior are very important
