Abstract

Biometric verification on e-ID cards requires clear procedures and standards be defined, especially when the access devices are anticipated to be produced commercial companies. Turkish national e-ID card project has reached the dissemination step. Now the commercial companies are expected to produce and market e-ID card access devices which will conduct secure electronic identity verification functions. However, published standards specifying e-ID card-access-device requirements are ambiguous on biometric verification procedures. In this study, we intended to attract scientific interest to the problems identified in the current design of biometric verification on Turkish national e-ID cards and proposed several verification alternatives which enables the production of e-ID card access devices in a commercial-competition environment.
