Welcome to connect:ID 2016 

Welcome from the IBIA 

Dear Colleagues and Friends, 

On behalf of the International Biometrics + Identity Association 

(IBIA), I want to extend a hearty welcome to all of our distinguished 

colleagues, speakers and exhibitors, and guests to the third annual 

connect:ID conference and exhibition. As the co-sponsor of this 

event, IBIA is proud to bring government and industry together 

once again for this key forum for ideas, networking, and innovation. 

We greatly appreciate your continuing interest and support. 

connect:ID continues to grow by leaps and bounds. This year, 

we are highlighting some of the most exciting trends in identity 

through three ‘hub’ tracks. The biometricID:HUB will examine the 

newest in biometric technology solutions and the much-discussed 

policy issues that accompany them. The mobileID:HUB will delve 

into the increasing need for mobility in the area of identity, from the 

use of fingerprints in smart phones, to mobile border management 

systems. Finally, the secureID:HUB will look at the role that secure 

documents and identity systems are playing in a wide variety 

of use cases, from national infrastructure protection, to secure 

electronic transactions. 

While we are intrigued by the technology and are fascinated by the 

policy questions, the real core of connect:ID is you. We encourage 

you to ‘connect’ with your colleagues, friends, and visitors – this 

is a prime opportunity to meet other members of this vibrant 

community. IBIA hopes to interact with all of you during the event, 

and extends an open invitation to visit us at the IBIA booth, #600 in 

the exhibit hall, where you can learn more about the important work 

we are doing for this industry. 

We are very grateful to our sponsors for their generous support 

– Qualcomm, Lockheed Martin, MorphoTrak, BIO-key, NEC 

Corporation, OVD Kinegram, HID Global, Gemalto, Griaule Biometrics 

and MorphoTrust USA. 

My conference co-chair Mark Lockie and I also want to thank our 

creative and hard-working program committee: Tovah LaDier, 

IBIA Managing Director; John Mears, Walter Hamilton and John 

Hinmon, IBIA Directors; Kathleen Carroll, HID Global; James Benjamin 

Hutchinson, MorphoTrust; Anastasia Pavlovic, Agnitio Corporation; 

and Teresa Wu, MorphoTrak. 

This year, connect:ID is benefitting from the knowledge, expertise, and 

hard work of people and organizations who have graciously advised 

us on conference themes, speakers and, in some cases, organized 

sessions with us. We are immensely grateful to our colleagues: Eric 

Thacker, Airlines for America; Christopher Bidwell, Airports Council 

International – North America; Brett McDowell, FIDO Alliance; Kenneth 

Dunlap, International Air Transport Association; Kelsey Finch and

Welcome from Science Media Partners 

Dear Industry Colleagues 

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the third edition of 

the annual connect:ID Conference and Exhibition, co-hosted by the 

International Biometrics + Identity Association (IBIA) and Science 

Media Partners. 

The event has proved itself a resounding success, with a sold-out 

exhibition in each of our three years, and a conference that has 

consistently received the highest-ratings from attendees. There are 

many contributing factors to this success – not least the full backing 

of government and industry, but also an array of support from expert 

speakers, sponsors, leading industry associations, strategic event 

partners, and the media. 

My team at Science Media Partners, and I, would like publicly to 

acknowledge our partners, IBIA, whose contribution is also at the 

core of this event’s achievements. Once again this year, we find 

ourselves in a larger venue space, to accommodate our expansion 

in this vitally important – and fast-growing – sector. For 2016, we 

welcome 75 leading companies and governments departments as 

exhibitors in our exhibition hall. Meanwhile, more than 75 speakers, 

and 300+ conference attendees will take part in our new three- 

ID:HUB conference sessions. 

These unique ID:HUBS – biometricID:HUB, mobileID:HUB, and 

secureID:HUB – are designed to capture the major trends that 

are driving identity industry evolution in today’s increasingly 

connected world. 

My conference co-chair – Robert Harbour, IBIA Chairman and 

President – and I, wish you a successful experience at connect:ID, 

and encourage you to visit the fully featured Expo – including our 

drinks and canapés reception on Tuesday evening – and, most 

importantly, to take time out from the myriad of presentations to 

network with this unique gathering of identity industry experts.

Daily reports of hacking and cyber incursions into individual and government 

networks/systems have given rise to near-ubiquitous concerns about 

identity theft. Today’s discussion will address how biometrics and other 

identity technologies can protect personal data and prevent imposters from 

fraudulently claiming other people’s identity. This will ensure consumer trust 

and confidence is maintained – so important to this industry’s future.

5:15pm Secure document design – Science 

and creativity: A case study 

 

Although today there is a strong shift 

towards ‘digital identity’, secure identity 

documents remain a crucial component of 

identity protection and verification; 

 

It’s not just the design themes and 

aesthetics that are completely tailored 

to each country. Individual nations face 

different levels of identity threat, from 

counterfeiting and fraudulent alteration of 

documents, to the use of stolen components; 

 

Putting the newly launched UK ePassport, 

entitled ‘Creative United Kingdom’ into the 

spotlight, we examine how passport design 

is a skilled mix of science and creativity.

existing strengths of existing designs and 

manufacturing techniques. 

 

Emphasize the critical partnership between 

the federal government, the private sector, 

and academia.

Identification, anonymity, and data integration 

in next-generation traveller processing 

 

Efficient and secure airport travel requires 

a large amount of data about travellers 

and conveyances, both identity-based and 

anonymous; 

 

Security depends on convenient, cost effective, 

and unobtrusive identification technologies at 

appropriate points in the process flow; 

 

Efficiency depends on availability of 

anonymous data about volumes of travellers, 

transit times, and arrival timing of conveyances 

(planes in this case).

The Iowa mDL pilot project: Testing the 

future, today 

 

The accurate identity information border 

authorities need to better assure immigration 

entry and exit processing also enables 

travellers, airlines and security personnel to 

create a less stressful, faster experience; 

 

Projects using biometrics as token throughout 

the border, security, baggage and boarding 

processes are being deployed in Asia; 

 

In the face of the escalating threat to world 

travel, biometric technologies integrated into 

air travel processes balance increased security 

and travel facilitation. 

Janice Kephart, Director, Homeland Security 

Solutions, MorphoTrak, USA 

 

The Iowa Department of Transportation began 

testing the mDL in the summer of 2015. Along 

with testing the actual app, much groundwork 

has been made with those who authenticate 

driver’s licenses in learning how an mDL will 

affect transactions and interactions requiring 

identification; 

 

The concept of using a mobile device to 

obtain services and benefits is not unique but 

putting one’s official identification on a mobile 

device has many people scratching their head 

trying to understand a world with no plastic 


 

We will discuss what led up to Iowa deciding 

to test the mDL, what has been tested so 

far, and what does the future hold for actual 

production?

MRTDs: the recent past, the present and 

the future 

 

Identity is now an integral part of state and 

private sector business, online or in-person, 

and we all share a responsibility to innovate 

and bring the industry forward; 

 

PII is a liability to be treated with extreme 

care, and thus the sharing and storage of PII 

needs to be kept to an absolute minimum and 

managed with the consent of individuals; 

 

Thanks to two grant awards from NIST, 

MorphoTrust and a select group of partners 

including GA are exploring how to address 

the issues of high-trust identities needed 

to actively navigate an online environment 

while also securing specific transactions 

with identity authentication requirements 

controlled by individuals.

A remarkable transformation in MRTD 

technology has taken place over the past 

decade and a half. In this time most countries 

have gone from non-machine-readable 

passports with pasted in photos to electronic 

passports; 

 

Current pilots and trials of new MRTD 

technology include: LDS2; passports-in-the 

cloud; smartphone and mobile passports; and 

biometric tokens; 

 

Which of these technologies will survive to be 

deployed in the coming years?

Mobile ID is increasingly important for a wide range of applications, including 

government-to-government, government-to-citizen, enterprise, eHealth, financial 

and commercial. To be successful, a solution must perform consistently and 

without fail across a wide range of different mobile platforms, devices and delivery 

channels. Industry association, GlobalPlatform’s freely available standardized 

infrastructure for the management of applications on secure chip technology with 

standardized application programming interfaces (API) makes that happen. 

Due to the sensitive nature of the information and data that is stored within 

mobile ID applications, it is crucial that they are stored and used in a secure 

environment. GlobalPlatform defines standards for security components such 

as the secure element (SE) and trusted execution environment (TEE), which can 

be utilized to fulfil the privacy and security requirements of mobile ID solutions. 

Its standardized frameworks, configurations, profiles, protocols and interfaces 

assure interoperability, consistency and enables implementation of end-to-end 

Mobile ID solutions in a secure and certified way. This presentation will explain 

how credentials can be stored and used in an SE or TEE especially for remote 

credential management systems.

Aruba Government – Pre-Clearance Program Manager, Aruba 

Jean-François (Jeff) Lennon 

Vice President, Global Business Development and Sales, Vision- 

Box, Portugal 

Case History: The future of borders and travel 

experience: A single biometric token to streamline 

passenger flow 

Happy Flow, the passenger identification and security process operating at 

Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport, eliminates the passenger physical 

paper identification process, and aims to offer pre-clearance capability for 

travelers entering the EU-Schengen space through Amsterdam Schiphol 

border point. 

The main concept behind pre-clearance is to ensure that a passenger departing 

from Aruba and entering the EU-Schengen space is pre-cleared before takeoff. 

If a passenger is not cleared to enter the EU or is unable to fly because of 

other security concerns, the appropriate measures can be triggered and the 

authorities notified immediately. This represents a significant step forward 

towards a broad-based legal vehicle for cooperation between countries in the 

exchange of intelligence and security improvement. 

The process begins at the airport when a passenger checks in at a self-service 

kiosk, and in a short future at home or at a hotel. At the kiosk check-in and 

ID verification step, a Passenger Data Envelope of the traveler’s credentials 

is created and associated with a high-quality ICAO compliant face image. 

The ‘envelope’ follows the passenger through each subsequent biometric 

touchpoint; it is a unique virtual object that triggers actionable intelligence 

to border authorities, unleashing enhanced capabilities such as permanent 

monitoring, early risk-based assessments, live sharing of key information, and 

improved operational and security efficiency. 

This pioneering people flow management framework, founded on a single 

biometric identification token, will elevate border security towards a preclearance 

initiative, with a very close partnership between countries on the 

basis of a successful implementation. The main goal is to have passengers 

essentially treated as domestic passengers upon arrival in Amsterdam, as they 

will have already completed the immigration process in Aruba. 

Passengers are able to complete their border clearance in self-service while 

they are waiting for the flight; and border agencies will see a reduced workload 

at the first line and anticipated richer information about incoming travelers, 

with a source of valuable data that can be leveraged as intelligence via 

orchestrated business rules. 

 

The onset of a new era in Border Security: How Happy Flow is altering the 

travel across borders through pre-clearance;

Using a single biometric identification token to enhance security and 

streamline the border crossing journey for passengers; 

Solving the challenge of involving all travel and border security 

stakeholders while guaranteeing secure information sharing and assuring 

passengers’ privacy.

the public and the private sector. Aruba’s Happy Flow project will also provide an 

important basis for establishing a first EU-Schengen preclearance for travelling 

to Europe. Annet has more than 20 years’ experience working in the field of 

immigration, and in particular border control, border management and public 

private cooperation at airports. Before living and working in Aruba, she has

Fingerprint authentication will continue to dominate 

the biometrics market; here’s why. 

As they are no longer used just to communicate, mobile devices have become 

indispensable. Smartphones are now replacing wallets, keys and identity cards. 

Unfortunately, this creates a Greenfield of opportunities for thieves to steal your 

identity, money and personal information. When used in conjunction with other 

security measures, fingerprint sensors provide a very strong level of protection 

to ensure only authorized people are accessing and using your information. 

This speech will discuss the status of the fingerprint industry within the mobile 

device market. It will highlight the different ways to implement fingerprint 

sensors and their various security levels. Finally, it will share some of the 

new security functions being implemented in fingerprint technology and how 

these capabilities will protect both the end users and service providers from 

fraudulent use. 

 

 

 

Fingerprint sensors are an integral part of many leading mobile devices; 

New security features, such as encapsulated fingerprint matching within 

the sensor, provide ideal protection of the user’s biometrics data; 

Under-glass fingerprint sensing will provide industrial design flexibility and 

improve overall system reliability.

Mobile Biometric ID – Can technology answer trust 

and privacy questions? 

Apple’s iPhone 5S launched in September 2013 heralded mobile biometrics in 

the consumer mainstream. Now, other biometrics such as eye vein, face and 

iris recognition, are being promoted as manufacturers seek to offer security 

features for the massive potential of m-commerce, while meeting banking 

worries about liability for ‘payer not present’ transactions. But there are major 

concerns with biometric data, including how secure is it, can it be spoofed, how 

does it affect my privacy, and if it’s stolen, how can I possibly recover? 

For mass acceptance, biometrics must become more user friendly. Yet, ease of 

use often compromises security. With Android so open, well-publicised stories 

of spoofing and biometric data hacking already abound. 

This presentation looks at the features, benefits and consequences of several 

technologies in their early stages of deployment, including Trusted Execution 

Zones, Secure Elements, Revocable and One-Time biometrics, along with the 

Authentication Protocols being put forward by organisations such as FIDO 

Alliance, and the many larger banks and merchant service providers. Some are 

backed by standardisation. 

We will also discuss requirements for solutions architectures that assist 

ease of use, while creating a secure channel for the end-to-end biometric 

authentication process, taking into account vulnerabilities from sensor to the 

final steps that securely link the ID authentication result with protocols such as 

FIDO that are endorsed for m-payment authentication.

Secure document design – Science and creativity: 

A case study 

Identity is one of the most important rights in the modern world. It provides 

protection, peace of mind and freedom for citizens and their governments. 

Although today there is a strong shift towards ‘digital identity’, secure identity 

documents remain a crucial component of identity protection and verification. 

Being compliant and up-to-date with the latest identity security measures 

provides nations with credibility and legitimacy on the international stage. 

It’s not just the design themes and aesthetics that are completely tailored 

to each country. Individual nations face different levels of identity threat, 

from counterfeiting and fraudulent alteration of documents to the use of 

stolen components. 

Putting the newly launched UK ePassport, entitled ‘Creative United Kingdom’ 

into the spotlight, we examine how passport design is a skilled mix of science 

and creativity, researching layering and integrating all elements to provide a 

secure document a nation can be proud of.

Identification, anonymity, and data integration in 

next-generation traveller processing 

Efficient and secure airport travel requires data about travellers and 

conveyances, both identity-based and anonymous. Our focus at connect:ID 

23


is on identity-based applications, mostly related to security, and accepted by 

most people as absolutely essential as part of any public conveyance travel 

process. We want to make these necessary security operations as unobtrusive, 

automated, efficient and effective as possible, respecting people’s privacy 

and desire to self-serve as appropriate. However, making travel pleasant and 

efficient will also depend on anonymous data related to individual travellers, 

as well as data that characterizes the typical flow of traffic in and out of the 

airport. Achieving the optimum future state will depend on the cooperative 

integration of all the data and sensors associated with the airport, including 

identity sensors, person sensors, and external data feeds. Seamless integration 

of these data with appropriate applications, modelling, and dashboards 

will improve flow, increase satisfaction, and reduce costs. This end-to-end 

integration of data and processes across airport operations will yield benefits 

to all stakeholders – necessary to gather support for the required changes. 

Such concepts are also useable for land border and maritime port processes, 

contributing to traveller familiarity and uniformity of experience across 

transportation modalities. 

 

 

 

Efficient and secure airport travel requires a large amount of data about 

travellers and conveyances, both identity-based and anonymous; 

Security depends on convenient, cost effective, and unobtrusive 

identification technologies at appropriate points in the process flow; 

Efficiency depends on the availability of anonymous data about volumes of 

travellers, transit times, and arrival timing of conveyances (aeroplanes in 

this case).

Global trends in modernizing air travel: How 

biometrics enhance security and facilitation 

Time: 11:35am 

Around the world, future borders are arriving. Seamless solutions are providing 

border authorities with more accurate identity information to better assure 

immigration entry and exit processing, while providing the traveller, airlines 

and security personnel with a less stressful, faster experience. Fully integrated 

border, security, baggage and boarding solutions with biometrics as the token 

throughout the process are being deployed in Asia. These solutions are defining 

and setting the benchmark for what is possible, practical and necessary to 

increase security and facilitation as world travel – and the threat to world 

travel – continues to escalate. 

 

This brief will include relevant use cases and lessons learned from Asia 

 

 

 

and elsewhere, highlighting what operations are transferrable to US port 

environments. 

The accurate identity information border authorities need to better assure 

immigration entry and exit processing also enables travelers, airlines and 

security personnel to create a less stressful, faster experience. 

Projects using biometrics as token throughout the border, security, baggage 

and boarding processes are being deployed in Asia. 

In the face of the escalating threat to world travel, biometric 

technologies integrated into air travel processes balance increased security 

and travel facilitation.

The evolution of the Driving License/ID that Departments of Motor Vehicles 

have been issuing is here…well, almost. With the ongoing progress being 

made in the eID world and the paradigm shift with a move towards a model 

of: ID credential with associated privileges, the mobile DL (mDL) stands a good 

chance of providing a new higher level of confidence that we truly know who 

we are dealing with, and hopefully can better protect individuals and their 

personally identifiable information (PII) by not having to live in an all or nothing 

scenario when it comes to data exchange 

 

 

 



mDLs…potentially solve many problems…are we unintentionally creating 

new ones? – Time will tell. 

Biography 

Geoff Slagle works in cooperation with the North American Motor Vehicle 

Administrations and other Government-issuing authorities on their identity

The Iowa mDL pilot project: Testing the future, today 

The Iowa Department of Transportation began testing the mobile Driving 

License (mDL) in the summer of 2015. Along with testing the actual app, much 

groundwork has been made with those who authenticate driver’s licenses 

in learning how an mDL will affect transactions and interactions requiring 

identification. The concept of using a mobile device to obtain services and 

benefits is not unique, but putting one’s official identification on a mobile device 

has many people scratching their head trying to understand a world with no 

plastic identification. 

We will discuss what led up to Iowa deciding to test the mDL, what has been 

tested so far, and what does the future hold for actual production? Experience 

is a great educator but patience and persistence is the key to learning as much 

as you can from concept testing. We have gained significant knowledge in 

testing and are preparing for many more experiences that will mold an mDL in 

Iowa and across the World.

Time: 12:00pm 

On the ‘Identity Autobahn’: The road to secure and 

smart mobile driver’s licenses 

With the advent of the first driver’s licenses based on smart phones, 

jurisdictions will have to rethink the way in which they will deal with this new 

technology. In order to release the full power of mobile driver’s license, the 

technology cannot be looked at as just another form factor of the traditional 

physical driving license. 

A pure emulation of the physical driver’s license, including its physical 

security features, will most likely not add to security and is a lost opportunity. 

Done in a wrong way, it will even make counterfeiting easier and therefore 

hard for untrained people to recognize. In return, the public and private sector 

could end up to not accepting a mobile driver’s license as a legitimate means 

of identification. 

The introduction of a mobile driver’s license in North America and the rest of 

world is a huge opportunity to improve security, add convenience, and even 

expand services beyond expectation to save people’s time. But it has to be done in 

a wise, modest and future-oriented way. This presentation will include an outline 

of the use of most common credential technologies used for mobile devices. 

 

 


The use of different secure credentials technologies for mobile device and 

document interoperability across jurisdictions.

Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute, Member of the UK 

Cabinet Office Privacy and Consumer Advisory Group, Spain 



The past few years have seen many stories about government surveillance. 

We hear far less about the counter-currents to these activities – governments 

deliberately not knowing what people do online. For over a decade, 

governments have been building citizen authentication systems for 

eGovernment and the commercial sector. Given the sensitivity of citizen data 

and online activity, identity management policy-makers required strong privacy 

architectures to be built into these systems. Countries like the US, UK, Austria, 

Germany, Canada and others have attempted to embed privacy values into their 

authentication system architectures, as well as provide policy and technical 

frameworks to enable trusted transactions online for citizens. This talk will 

survey such efforts to better understand international trends of privacy within 

citizen online identity. 

 

 

 

While we hear a lot about government surveillance, we often don’t hear 

about the government’s policies and technical implementations to not know 

about its citizens’ activities; 

Citizen identity systems carry incredibly sensitive data, and therefore 

require strong privacy measures; 

Governments around the world are building systems to enhance the privacy 

and trustworthiness of citizen authentication.

Next generation passports – The global approach 

The ICAO NTWG LDS2 Sub-Group is a specialized policy sub-group that is 

exploring the possible benefits, limits and opportunities of expanding the 

capabilities of the ePassport through the addition of an optional read/write 

section in the ePassport closed-circuit chip. The sub-group, which is composed 

of States from around the world, as well as key members of the International 

Organization for Standardization (ISO), has been working very actively to better 

understand and define an optional extension to the ePassport logical data 

structure that would allow sending and receiving States to read and write 

specific travel data during the course of travel. 

The presentation will provide an overview of the policy and technical 

foundation for the next generation passport, as well as provide insight into 

the applications that will be supported by future international document 

specifications. The presenter will outline why States may consider adopting 

LDS2 passport technology, what relationships may need to be in place to 

support its implementation, and what adjustments may need to be made to 

ensure that LDS2-enabled ePassports are effectively utilized. The presentation

Time: 3:55pm 

The European migrant crisis – A tipping point for 

EAC-enabled travel documents? 

By 2017, the number of people travelling internationally for business and 

pleasure will reach almost 1.5 billion. The sheer volume alone is enough to 

strain Customs and Immigration officers and infrastructure to their limits. 

Add to that, the constant threat of terrorism, outbreaks of infectious diseases, 

surging numbers of migrants, and the nearly invisible menace of foreign 

fighters, and the situation becomes critical. The need to issue the most secure 

travel documents and definitively to tie the identity of the traveler to that 

document has never been greater. 

Extended Access Control (EAC) enabled electronic passports are an 

important part of the solution, and a growing number of countries are issuing 

these documents. However, impoverished nations lack the resources and 

infrastructure to deploy EAC passports. While outside of the European Union, 

even affluent countries are mired in policy and political debate, impeding the 

adoption of these more secure travel documents. 

In this presentation we will review the best practices of physical and digital 

document security, and discuss the advantages of biometrically enabled 

ePassports and strong authentication at the border. We will also explore how 

this validation, in conjunction with automated border control devices, can 

improve throughput and efficiency while increasing security. 

 

 

 

Electronic access passports are a critical piece of ensuring safety and 

security at the border; however, it is important that the necessary 

authentication infrastructure is in place to properly utilize these documents. 

It is important that passports and travel documents integrate both physical 

and digital security features to ensure the maximum effectiveness in 

managing strong authentication at the border. 

How to manage citizen identities and safeguard the borders via smart 

automated systems.

PANEL: Fostering societal inclusion: 

The power of identity 

Room 206 

Time: 4:45pm 

According to the United Nations’ World Population Prospects, the world 

population is expected to amount to 11.2 billion people by 2100, including 

4.8 billion in Asia and 4.4 billion in Africa. These estimates, coupled with the 

current intensification of migration of refugees across the world, reopens 

the debate on the repartition of wealth. Nearly one percent of the world 

population now has 50% of the wealth produced. 

These disparities are expected to cause many more conflicts and population 

displacements in the near future, if nothing is done to stop this selfperpetuating 

phenomenon. 

Social protection programs can play a fundamental role in supporting 

the more vulnerable into stepping above the poverty threshold. However, 

millions of people in low- and middle-income countries are being denied 

access to basic services and protection due to the non-recognition of their 

existence. 

Identity is at the core of citizen’s everyday actions. Whether they 

interact with private or public institutions, the need for a solid proof of 

identity is crucial. 

However civil registration is the only legal recognition of existence in a 

person’s life. This system records occurrence and characteristics of major 

vital events (notably, births and deaths). 

Most low-income and middle-income countries do not have a 

comprehensive civil registration system that covers the entire population, 

registers and certifies all births and deaths. As a consequence, 2.4 billion 

people lack an official ID today in the developing world. 

Therefore, these people are excluded from basic public rights such as voting 

or receiving social benefits. They can also be denied access to the official 

labor market and be unable to open a bank account. 

Many developing countries have launched and implemented Digital Identity 

systems to address this issue. However, those systems have to be designed 

and implemented in a way that links them to Civil Registration. 

The Secure Identity Alliance (SIA) has published a study that demonstrate 

how to reconcile CRVS and Digital Identity into one integrated eCivil 

Registration. Any of those two can be used to build or reinforce the other. 

This complementarity can be illustrated by a circular link that connects the 

two information systems, provides data and verification mechanisms.

Mobile wallets and fraud: Leveraging strong 

authentication to protect consumer accounts 

Mobile wallets, such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay, offer 

consumers the promise of more convenient and secure payments. 

Unfortunately for the image of security that these new payment solutions are 

trying to portray, fraud followed almost immediately after their introduction as 

criminals took advantage of authentication shortcomings among issuers. While 

the use of mobile wallets is expected to grow considerably this decade, the 

security image of these solutions could be undone if high-profile fraud issues 

persist. This session will explore ways that each stakeholder can maintain 

the trust of consumers, including through the implementation of stronger 

authentication, while avoiding past and future pitfalls. 

 

 

 

 

As with any new form of financial technology, mobile wallets came under 

siege by fraudsters almost immediately after introduction; 

Financial institutions were unprepared for the attempts to circumvent their 

controls, contributing to unusually high losses and reputational damage; 

The use of mobile wallets is expected to exceed $50 billion by 2018, making 

them even more attractive fraud targets; 

By leveraging strong authentication technologies geared specifically for 

the mobile channel, wallet enrolment and use can be secured against 

these attacks – preventing fraud and preserving trust in this nascent 

financial technology.

Manager New Business, Government ID, OVD Kinegram,

Time: 9:50am 



Speech Synopsis 

Government-issued secure credentials in the form of physical tokens continue 

to be one of the cornerstones for the establishment of a national identity 

infrastructure. Today, thanks to the evolution of electronic-based smartcards, 

biometrics can be stored either on the token, or in an on-line database as an 

additional authentication factor for the ID verification process. Simultaneously, 

these chip-based tokens provide new services including government voting 

and taxation, banking transactions, health-care and transportation. By 

leveraging on the global infrastructure already available through cellular 

network providers, emerging technologies based on smartphones and other 

mobile devices promise convenient access to the ID verification processes for 

many stake-holders, including border crossings inspectors, bankers and the 

individual tax-payer seeking government services. However, until it is possible 

to deploy these mobile ID processes globally, and in a fully secure manner for 

all citizens, the physical token is likely to coexist with the mobile verification 

process for several years to come. How then do we ensure that the secure 

credential, the biometrics and the mobile device can be used interchangeably 

for ID verification? This presentation showcases for the first time the use of 

optically secured digital seals to interlink and interlock the physical token with 

the emerging mobile ID verification processes. 

 

 

 

Secure government-issued physical tokens form the cornerstones for 

establishing national identity; 

Mobile devices promise convenient access to the ID verification processes 

and government services; 

Secure digital seals are proposed to integrate the physical security with the 

mobile ID processes.

Time: 2:20pm 

Born this way: What ‘Digital Natives’ are teaching 

us about digital identity 

If the voice of the customer helps smart organizations improve business 

processes and deliver better products and services, what are the voices of 

digital natives, the generation born fully immersed in digital technologies, 

teaching organizations about digital identity and their expectations for 

digital interactions? 

In this session, learn the top lessons that millennial customers are teaching 

commercial organizations and government agencies about digital identity

SPECIAL TOPIC: US/EU visions on privacy: 

Contrasting approaches. Practical 

implications… 

Room 207A 

Time: 2:45pm 

It is said that the United States and Europe are far apart on data protection and 

privacy issues, but is that actually the case? Both the US and Europe are faced 

with the same challenge – regulating data flows and ensuring the application 

of national laws in an Internet that is biased towards borderlessness. The 

collapse of Safe Harbor and its replacement with Privacy Shield is one of 

several topics we will explore as we survey the international context for privacy 

and data protection. 

Session moderated by: Gilad Rosner, Founder, Internet of Things Privacy Forum, 

Visiting Researcher at Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute, Member of 

the UK Cabinet Office Privacy and Consumer Advisory Group, Spain.

SPECIAL TOPIC: Homeland security – The 

challenge of identifying malevolent actors 

Room 207A 

Time: 3:30pm 

This session focuses on the crucial question of how we collect key intelligence 

and evidence for tracking and identifying terrorists, criminals, and refugees. 

These efforts are made even more critical today given the large number of 

people crossing borders without documents, the use of sophisticated forged 

documents, the difficulties of exchanging data, encryption, to name only a few 

of the issues complicating this key process.
