摘要:Now-a-days the border security and safety are increasing more, due to the high interconnectivity all over the world. For homeland and national security, border control applications require a proper means of identifying the travelers to avoid intruders into the nation. For example, by what they have (passports, visas, and travel documents) and what they know (answers to several questions). To reduce such problems like fraud, ease identity checks, and enhance security, we propose an authentication methodology that combines multimodal biometrics and cryptographic mechanisms. Without a mandatory requirement smart-card-level devices on e-passports, we can accommodate faces and fingerprints for easier deployment. The biometric passport (referred to as an e-passport) is a new standard of the Machine Readable Travel Document (MRTD). Passports must be renewed in low cost for storing biometric templates (Like Tamper-Resistance Device) and for being applied promptly all over the world. Therefore, we combine multimodal biometrics and cryptographic mechanisms in low cost without requiring special hardware for border control application. It is even allowable to imprint (publicly readable) 2 bar codes on the passports. Additionally, we present a new concrete method for certification and key management to control the validity of passports within the current Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI). The proposed certification and key management scheme must be useful and practical for controlling the passports.
