Travel facilities around Europe, illegal migrations and the threats of international terrorism are setting special challenges for border controls at the German airports. Border control forces have to face on the one hand to run a quick control process and on the other hand to ensure a safe identification of the controlled persons and their identification documents.

Therefore it's an important matter from the viewpoint of the German Federal Police (Bundespolizei) that new technologies for the border control process are in development. The 3D Face project at the Berlin Airport seems to be a successful way to run a quicker and reliable border control process.

The presentation will focus on the general review of the 3D face project status

• Objectives
• Current results in the labs
• Tests on the fields

• stereo vision
• multi-view
• 3D face recognition

• biometric template protection
• biometric encryption
• architectures
• authentication
• identity verification

Biometrics provide the possibility of unique and convenient authentication. As its application areas grow rapidly, the problems, such as identity fraud and cross matching, threaten the security of biometric systems. Moreover, privacy concerns are associated with biometrics. In this paper we introduce privacy enhancing techniques for biometric systems, which can protect biometric information and enable using biometrics without exposure of privacy. A novel privacy enhancing algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is integrated in a 3D face recognition algorithm and tested using the FRGC database. By using the proposed algorithm, high security can be achieved as well as good verification performance.

• Databases for 3D Face evaluations
• Technology and scenario testing
• Evaluation of multibiometric algorithms

• Biometrics has to be used as a tool to secure and facilitate Border Control
• Processes need to be revied
• Self-service applications become an option and mobile stations a standard
• Only new, flexible, interoperable and standardized IT solutions will improve border control
• Horizontal & vertical integration and interoperability are key issues

Browser based security protocols heavily rely on the Same Origin Policy to protect sensitive data. However, there is no direct communication with the SSL protocol to verify the correctness of a domain name. We show to solutions how to achieve better security through better integration of both security blocks.
