23. Encrypted features only detectable in the laboratory
24. Biometric features only detectable in the laboratory
25. Security background that reacts partially to infrared light, leaving the rest blank
26. Fragmentary text which is left partially invisible by infrared light
27. Unique code linking the printed details with alphanumeric information and images stored in
the central database
28. PDF-417 2D barcode containing details of the license holder and the issuing official
29. PDF-247 2D barcode containing details of the issuing official (internal code)
30. PDF-247 2D barcode containing coded AFIS details of the license holder’s fingerprints
31. PDF-247 2D barcode containing HCS (Hash Code Security) coded details calculated using the
information relating to the license for checking variable details
32. PDF-247 2D barcode containing coded details of the version of the program that produced
the license
Thus you can see how biometric technology has been incorporated into the driving license
issuing process. The systems of biometric identification undoubtedly revolutionize the system
of provincial security since they involve methods of identification and authentication of
individuals through physical or behavioral characteristics.
In the case of driving licenses, the unique physical characteristic that identifies a person is his
fingerprints.
Fingerprint identification is one of the most commonly used forms of biometry. A fingerprint is
formed by a series of ridges. Where these ridges end or divide are called “minutiae”. Each one
of these points has a unique position and form, which can be measured. By comparing their
distribution, it is possible to identify the person to whom the fingerprint belongs.
Biometric systems include a scanning device and software that interprets the physical details
and transforms them into a numeric sequence. In the case of fingerprint identification, it should
be borne in mind that only the minutiae are recorded, not an image of the whole fingerprint, and
the former are represented in a numeric sequence that is stored in PDF-417 and/or BIDI format.
Currently the Province has more than three hundred biometric enrolment stations distributed
throughout the 135 municipalities of the province.
In addition, an AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) computer was bought
and installed to enable the storing of the biometric details of more than five million driving
license holders within the province, and to enable 1:N verifications
and authentications (comparing a unique fingerprint image with
a fingerprint database). The province has also acquired PDAstyle
handheld multibiometric devices to provide the police and
municipalities with the ability to carry out 1:1 identifications in the
street.
