Abstract
Lower-quality live biometric data and the limited time to read ePassports are significant challenges for ‘on-the-move’ biometrics. Additionally, fully automated biometric border control solutions, even when a stop is allowed, are currently used only for pedestrians in controlled environments. The EU-funded CarMen project aims to develop biometric solutions for the continuous border control of both pedestrians and vehicles, with a focus on fraud detection, compliance with legal and ethical standards, and privacy protection. The project will implement a two-step authentication process using Near Infrared (NIR) and RGB live biometric images. To safeguard against data injection attacks, CarMen will use Digital Traveller Credentials (DTC). The project will demonstrate these solutions at the UK-France border.
