New biometric technology is coming to borders in Europe and the UK, but as reflected in several of most-read articles of the week, it is a work in progress. Atos is getting blamed for EES delays, which are buying the UK time to get its borders in order. That is happening, in part, with an Ingenium-supported trial of biometric self-enrollment technology from Dermalog, iProov, Integrated Biometrics, Thales, Tech5 and others. Ghana’s new biometric passports from Biometric Travel Solutions Ltd and Hungarian ANY Security Printing Company Plc are now being issued, and Veridos CEO Marc-Julian Siewert makes the case for “biometrics on the move” as the future of easier travel. The UK Home Office is holding a second round of by people using their own smartphones for Electronic Travel Authorisation applications. A privacy information notice says the trials will feature a virtual who’s-who of contactless fingerprint developers, including Identy, Dermalog, Veridium, iProov, Telos, IB, Blue Biometrrics, Thales, IDLoop, Sciometrics and Tech5, and be supported by Ingenium. Home Office officials also updated the Justice and Home Affairs Committee on their on Thursday. Technology readiness, contingency measures and costs remain concerns, though the contactless fingerprint enrollment trial may help. The big contract held by Atos and partners for the EU’s biometric border system is turning into a big headache for all involved, with spilling out into public. The company began missing EES targets almost immediately, and was placed under its creditors’ control in November. Maybe a will help. with embedded electronic chips storing biometrics were introduced on Monday, with the promise of improved security and easier travel. Accra-based Biometric Travel Solutions Ltd and Hungarian ANY Security Printing Company Plc are managing the project and printing the ID documents, respectively. Advances in identity verification like “biometrics on the move” represent , Veridos CEO Marc-Julian Siewert argues in a guest post for . Best practices and regulations to protect privacy must be applied across the board, however, to fully unlock the benefits of biometrics. It should go without saying that best practices also involve actually performing the requisite checks, but reports that was the point of failure in JFK’s security system in the case of the woman who stowed away on a Delta flight to Paris.

The U.S. FTC, which regulates advertising, has about the accuracy and lack of bias of its face biometrics and PAD that it cannot back up with evidence. NIST testing does not support the company’s assertions, and the FTC found its claim to have used millions of faces to train its algorithms misleading. The UK is setting up a multi-supplier framework for police to deploy live facial recognition, starting with a tender worth $25 million. Four-year with the BlueLight Commercial consortium are available, and responses are due by December 13. The global digital identity verification market will reach , Juniper Research says, up from $15.2 billion this year. A new report says behavioral biometrics, face biometrics and liveness detection are the key three technologies to combine, but also suggests that “handprints” face a major usability barrier that it does not see for either iris or retina scans.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has suggested that Judge Juan Merchan not toss out issuing a ruling in President-elect Donald Trump’s business records trial. In 82-page legal filing, prosecutors for Bragg wrote that the “Court should reject defendant’s motion” to have his indictment and the jury’s guilty verdict dismissed in the aftermath of Trump’s win in the presidential election, according to Politico . Prosecutors added that Trump should “at most” be able to be given “temporary accommodations” during his second term as president in order to prevent his business records case and the verdict from the jury from “interfering with his official decision-making.” “This Court should reject defendant’s motion to ‘immediately’ dismiss the indictment and vacate the jury’s guilty verdict based on the outcome of the recent presidential election,” prosecutors wrote. “Def.’s Mem. 1.1. There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to defendant’s inauguration, because President-elect immunity does not exist. And even after the inauguration, defendant’s temporary immunity as the sitting President will not justify the extreme remedy of discarding the jury’s unanimous guilty verdict and wiping out the already-completed phases of this criminal proceeding.” Bragg’s team continued: “At most, defendant should receive temporary accommodations during his presidency to prevent this criminal case from meaningfully interfering with his official decision-making.” Politico noted that prosecutors outlined “various mechanisms” for Merchan to use “to preserve the guilty verdict: The options include simply suspending the case until Trump’s term is over. Merchan could also announce in advance that he won’t sentence Trump to any jail time and won’t consider Trump’s conduct as president when determining a future sentence — a declaration, prosecutors said, that would dramatically reduce concerns about whether the looming sentence could impede Trump’s presidency. As Breitbart News’s Ken Klukowski previously reported , Merchan “rescheduled ruling on motions to set aside the politically motivated New York convictions.” On November 22, Merchan issued a ruling , granting a request “for permission to file a motion to dismiss” that was brought forward by Trump’s attorneys. The motion to dismiss is due by December 2, and a response from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office must be submitted a week later, by Monday, December 9. Merchan also adjourned the sentencing that was set for November 26. At the end of May, a New York jury found Trump guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first-degree regarding payments that were made to adult porn actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
