 Conference Co-chair:
Michael Chamberlain, Chief Consultant Document Security
Yesterday we heard of the hijacking of a delivery van and the theft of 3000 UK Commonwealth passports and visa stickers destined for UK embassies. The event was described by the UK Government as 'a serious security breach'. The Identity and Passport Service said the stolen documents could not be used by thieves 'because of their hi-tech embedded chip security features'. Estimated value of the haul was £2.75 million putting the street value of a genuine passport at nearly £1000. It seems to me that passports destined for embassy issue would be prenumbered and and would only require the relatively simple creation of a digital printed image and ID data before sealing with a secure laminate handily available in each blank passport. The document would then be virtually undetectable as a fake, except for the chip. But what about the chip? As we know the original concept of e-passports was to speed up travel, and the level of security is not high. With Basic Access Control (BAC) , the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) allows access to the information on the chip. Would it be possible to write to the chip in these stolen passports? I'm sure Lukas Grunwald would not find it too difficult to dump data that would pass a superficial inspection even though a deeper inspection would detect that the data was not digitally signed. With the advent of Gen 2 e-passports having EAC (extended access control) it will be more difficult for the fraudsters, but that is some way off. Although most UK border posts are said to now have e-passport readers, as a regular traveller I haven't spotted too many being used yet. So the IPS might be being economical with the truth. I am looking forward to September's Chicago Conference The Future of Secure Documents 2008 where the key players in the e-passport and ID card business will be talking about how we can better secure electronic identification documents. Maybe we can also explore the meaning of some more acronyms like TWIC and PIV, FIPS and even CHUID….see you there!

Running for the sixth time, The Future of Secure Documents 2008 will examine the most recent technology advances and explore how they can be successfully implemented as part of an integrated document protection strategy. Experts from the all over the world will give practical case studies while developers will present their latest innovations to answer the industry's needs. This event is a unique opportunity to learn about the law enforcement views, existing technical innovations, technologies in the pipeline and their emerging applications.
Counterfeiting and tampering represent a globally huge risk for high value documents. The secure documents market is therefore in constant development to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters. Newly designed bank notes, ID card projects, travel control initiatives and collaborative teamwork to combat identity theft are some of the approaches governments across the world are taking to address this threat. Attend this conference to find out about the latest technologies and strategies you can implement to protect your products from fraud.
