eengineering, for example:
• Entry of information at the beginning; the biometric technology makes the person a
participant as an acting part of the digital identification process
• Elimination of intermediary steps; with digital identification, the process is completed in an
automatized fashion
• Planning processing that adds value, for what more value can be had than the transparency
of the identification and making social inclusion fair, here I am assuming the premise that
biometric identification will give me the best security in existence at the time of identification
of citizens
This new way of doing things brings with it a change in values equally cultural as organizational,
that people (the third integral part of this project) will have to face.
In addition to what has been said until now regarding reengineering for the overhaul of these
processing and procedures, one will no longer be able to base himself on the experience of
whoever brings to fruition its implementation, given that for several years now this has no
longer been the source of knowledge, given the necessity to work (when they exist) with the
extant international standards (for example, the ISO/IEC 11 standards that delineate what ought
to be done in particular for the specific solution).
In Biometrics, the ISO/IEC regulation 19794 12 is set forth, outlining the general aspects and
requirements for the definition of formats for the exchange of biometric data – the notation,
transfer methods (which should provide platform independence) and the separation of transfer
syntax from the definition of the content. This standard defines what is commonly applied
in biometric data, that is to say, the standardization of common content, what it means, the
exchange format, and the presentation of data format, having specifications for the different
systems of biometric identification. A more detailed description of these standards can be
found on the Biometrics page of the Argentine Government 13 .
Returning to processing that is both flexible and secure for citizen identification, if we were
to do this via a legal document and some physical characteristic of the person (a biometric
system), it would prove to be a more flexible and secure task than if it were being done through
a legal document and some sort of equipment. Quite simply, and without going into more
details, the mere thought of any device brings to mind that it would have to be on the person
at the time of identification. Here we are not mentioning the use of a user name and password,
given that it is flat out rejected as insecure like digital identification.
4. People
If these lines had been written ten years ago, perhaps an entire chapter would have been
dedicated to speaking of people. Fortunately, over time, the fear of technology has begun to
diminish, the fear of its security and its use.
