Abstract

Due to migration, terror-threats and the viral pandemic, various EU member states have re-established internal border control or even closed their borders. European Association for Biometrics (EAB), a non-profit organisation, solicited the views of its members on ways which biometric technologies and services may be used to help with re-establishing open borders within the Schengen area while at the same time mitigating any adverse effects. From the responses received, this position paper was composed to identify ideas to re-establish free travel between the member states in the Schengen area. The paper covers the contending needs for security, open borders and fundamental rights as well as legal constraints that any technological solution must consider. A range of specific technologies for direct biometric recognition alongside complementary measures are outlined. The interrelated issues of ethical and societal considerations are also highlighted. Provided a holistic approach is adopted, it may be possible to reach a more optimal trade-off with regards to open borders while maintaining a high-level of security and protection of fundamental rights. European Association for Biometrics and its members can play an important role in fostering a shared understanding of security and mobility challenges and their solutions.

促进申根区的自由旅行——欧洲生物识别协会的立场文件

由于移民、恐怖威胁和病毒大流行，欧盟各成员国重新建立了内部边境管制，甚至关闭了边境。非营利组织欧洲生物识别协会（EAB）就如何利用生物识别技术和服务帮助在申根区内重新建立开放边界，同时减轻任何不利影响征求了其成员的意见。根据收到的答复，编写这份立场文件是为了确定重新建立申根区成员国之间自由旅行的想法。该文件涵盖了安全、开放边界和基本权利的竞争需求，以及任何技术解决方案都必须考虑的法律约束。概述了一系列用于直接生物识别的特定技术以及补充措施。还强调了伦理和社会考虑的相互关联的问题。如果采取全面的办法，就有可能在开放边界方面达成更为优化的折衷方案，同时保持高水平的安全和对基本权利的保护。欧洲生物识别协会及其成员可以在促进对安全和移动挑战及其解决方案的共同理解方面发挥重要作用。

期刊介绍： The field of biometric recognition - automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioural and biological characteristics - has now reached a level of maturity where viable practical applications are both possible and increasingly available. The biometrics field is characterised especially by its interdisciplinarity since, while focused primarily around a strong technological base, effective system design and implementation often requires a broad range of skills encompassing, for example, human factors, data security and database technologies, psychological and physiological awareness, and so on. Also, the technology focus itself embraces diversity, since the engineering of effective biometric systems requires integration of image analysis, pattern recognition, sensor technology, database engineering, security design and many other strands of understanding. The scope of the journal is intentionally relatively wide. While focusing on core technological issues, it is recognised that these may be inherently diverse and in many cases may cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. The scope of the journal will therefore include any topics where it can be shown that a paper can increase our understanding of biometric systems, signal future developments and applications for biometrics, or promote greater practical uptake for relevant technologies: Development and enhancement of individual biometric modalities including the established and traditional modalities (e.g. face, fingerprint, iris, signature and handwriting recognition) and also newer or emerging modalities (gait, ear-shape, neurological patterns, etc.) Multibiometrics, theoretical and practical issues, implementation of practical systems, multiclassifier and multimodal approaches Soft biometrics and information fusion for identification, verification and trait prediction Human factors and the human-computer interface issues for biometric systems, exception handling strategies Template construction and template management, ageing factors and their impact on biometric systems Usability and user-oriented design, psychological and physiological principles and system integration Sensors and sensor technologies for biometric processing Database technologies to support biometric systems Implementation of biometric systems, security engineering implications, smartcard and associated technologies in implementation, implementation platforms, system design and performance evaluation Trust and privacy issues, security of biometric systems and supporting technological solutions, biometric template protection Biometric cryptosystems, security and biometrics-linked encryption Links with forensic processing and cross-disciplinary commonalities Core underpinning technologies (e.g. image analysis, pattern recognition, computer vision, signal processing, etc.), where the specific relevance to biometric processing can be demonstrated Applications and application-led considerations Position papers on technology or on the industrial context of biometric system development Adoption and promotion of standards in biometrics, improving technology acceptance, deployment and interoperability, avoiding cross-cultural and cross-sector restrictions Relevant ethical and social issues
