Keynote Speakers
Duncan Croll, Marketing Director, Lockheed Martin Transportation & Security Solutions
Speech Title: The world of security documentation: emerging lessons and issues for the future
This keynote presentation will draw on Lockheed’s pedigree of credentialing and discuss the lessons it has learned from numerous government and commercial sector credentialing programmes.
Meg Hillier, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Identity, UK Government
Speech Title: Identity Cards next steps
The National Identity Card Act was passed in 2006. The first cards for foreign nationals will be issued later this year and the first British citizens will have cards in 2009. Meg Hillier will explain the roll out plan and the importance of the scheme and identity protection in the modern world.
James Ziglar, CEO of Cross Match
Speech Title: Global Security Systems and Individual Rights: The Challenge of a Brave New World
This keynote presentation will look at the challenges arising from the implementation of advanced document and identity security systems while balancing individual rights. It will touch on public concern about capturing and recording the movement of people without regard to whether there is “probable cause” to do so; as well as, the drive among technologists to develop systems that track and identify people 24/7.
Lin Homer, Chief Executive, Border and Immigration Agency, UK
Speech Title: The New UK Border Agency: Protecting the Border, Applying New Technology
Stream 1: ePassports – Experience, advice and pitfalls
Whilst the international roll out of ePassports is well underway, there are still areas of development and issues that are not yet resolved. There are also issues that newcomers to the scene should be aware of, either from a procurement perspective or from an implementation standpoint. This stream tracks some of these important topics including case histories from advanced ePassport issuer nations to more specific areas such as real-life ePassport durability.
- Legal framework: Capturing and storing biometric data is regarded as sensitive privacy issue. Passport laws need to be amended and regulations on the implementation be published well in time before the issuance. Neglecting the legal side can lead to the fact that passports with chip are issued but due to the missing legal framework, the chip has to remain empty.
- Warranty issue: What is the probability of a defective passport? Which defects can be included in a warranty? Can the risk be insured?
- E-passport systems contain the e-passport itself and other Software/Hardware components
- The high complexity of these systems requires comprehensive testing
- Integration-level and system-level testing is needed
Baris Güldali, Researcher, Software Quality Lab (s-lab) / University of Paderborn, Germany and Holger Funke, Consultant, HJP Consulting GmbH, Germany
- How a shared infrastructure backbone can provide cost savings and process efficiencies
- Insight into Bahamian experience: including ePassport, work permits, permanent residence cards and tourism targeted marketing
- Advice for small to medium countries
Jo Ram, COO, Indusa Global, USA
- Seven European e-ID programmes: Residence permit card; European Citizen card; Registered traveller programmes (exit/entry); European health insurance card; electronic emergency card; Car registration card; Electronic driving license
- For each of these, an overview of the applications, technology; standardisation; previous programmes; recommendations and regulations
Detlef Houdeau,Silicon Trust, Senior Director Business Development, Identification, Infineon Technologies, Germany
Bruno Rouchouze, Convenor of Eurosmart ID Subgroup and Ingo Liersch, Member of Eurosmart ID subgroup
- Understanding the future of the European Health Insurance Card
- An update on standardisation issues
- Using advanced security document features to ensure secure authentication and verification
Els Vertongen, Administrator, Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, European Commission, Belgium
- Identifying a road-map to interoperability based on existing standards and practices
- Presentation of reference cases and current status on interoperability in live projects
- Defining the objectives and advantages of interoperability of biometric solutions
Jonas Andersson, VP Business Development, Precise Biometrics, Sweden
- Notwithstanding the advent of ePassports and smart cards, a range of robust physical document security features will continue to be essential
- In a world with an increasing variety of innovative features and technologies, this presentation will discuss, with examples, how the features are used by national border control agencies and fraud detection organisations
- Which criteria could be applied in deciding how to develop secure documents in future.
Charlie Stevens, Head of the United Kingdom Border and Immigration Agency (BIA), National Document Fraud Unit (NDFU), UK
- Banknotes and ID documents share many security goals;
- Where they differ, the currency challenges are if anything harder;
- Banknotes can provide important lessons for ID, including: threat assessment, selection of features and policy handling.
Tom Ferguson,former Director, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, US Treasury Department, USA
Stream 4: Challenges at the border - Land, sea and air
The use of next generation security documents at the border, or indeed the use of advanced biometric systems for advanced security, have numerous implementation challenges, especially when considering all borders - land, sea and air. This stream takes an in-depth look at advanced border control issues from requirements, specifications and legality to interoperability issues, standards and case histories of advanced systems already being deployed across the world.
- Secure borders
- Simplify the process of Identifying and verifying travelers at borders
- Integrating the border control system with the other criminal systems

Stream 5: Progress in Extended Access Control
The integration of fingerprints into the ePassport infrastructure and their subsequent use at border posts across the world is fraught with complex challenges. But they are challenges which Europe, in particular, are rising too, although other countries, particularly in Asia, as also getting on board. This stream will provide an in-depth look at the area of extended access control, from the landscape to future plans and an overview on work which is still being done, such as the latest test specifications for EAC inspection systems.

Stream 6: Developing an effective visa process
Hand-in-hand with a tightening of borders through more advanced ePassports and infrastructure, so too the visa issuing system is being enhanced through the use of technologies, such as biometrics.
