Biometrics and identity fraud protection

This article tentatively suggests key ideas for an overall biometrics strategy that could better resist identity fraud. A recent decision of the Dutch government is mentioned aiming at an identity fraud resistant use of biometric passports. Instead of relying on the fingerprint on the identity document, other fingerprints stored in a separate database will be used when checking someone's identity with fingerprint biometrics. In Part II discussion continues on the value chain perspective in biometrics, identity fraud as biometric's major challenge and an overall strategy for identity fraud resistant biometrics.
