Article 33 : IDEMIA remporte un appel d’offres du ministère public des Pays-Bas en matière de sécurité routière

IDEMIA wins contract with Dutch Public Prosecutor’s Office on road safety

In June 2022, IDEMIA and one of its major partners, ARS Traffic & Transport Technology B.V., won a tender launched by the Public Prosecutor of the Netherlands. As a leader in biometric encryption, the French biometrics company was selected from a plethora of applicants. This is proof that once again, the know-how of the French company is no longer subject to debate.

In practice, the framework contract consists of the delivery of 750 control units in ten three-month batches. Note that the Netherlands required that this order be awarded to three suppliers, including IDEMIA.

For this contract, IDEMIA has chosen to highlight the compact MESTA device. In addition to delivering this high-tech security system, the French company will take care of its maintenance for six years, to be renewed once. In all, the Dutch public prosecutor will therefore be able to count on the support of the service provider for 12 years.

A leading agency at the service of road safety

Delivered at the beginning of 2023, the compact MESTA devices are specialized in traffic control. Combining video analysis and speed measurement, they reduce accidents and encourage users to respect the highway code. Impossible to lure these detectors when you run red lights.

Space-saving, the compact MESTA device can easily be camouflaged at an intersection or in a bush. Even in urban areas, it requires little space and blends into the environment.

For more than 50 years, the European firm’s MESTA range has helped make the roads safer. Leaders in road safety in Europe, the Middle East, America and Asia-Pacific, MESTA devices will meet the expectations of the Netherlands.

Article 32 : Lecteurs biométriques : exemples d'applications et utilisation

Biometric readers: examples of applications and use

Biometrics

A biometric reader is a high-tech device containing a microchip capable of reading and comparing an individual’s biological data, fingerprints, iris, venous network or even the morphology of the hand… Biometrics makes it possible to authenticate users without any doubt.

For several years, Idemia, the world leader in augmented identity, has been working to make the world more secure. A brief overview of the fields of application of this science which is wider than you think…

Make airports safer

At Charles de Gaulle airport alone, more than 100,000 people work tirelessly, day and night. Among them, 86,000 must access areas containing delicate data or sensitive elements. At the same time, the airport must ensure that the 208,000 daily passengers are safe, oriented and easily identifiable.

The use of a biometric reader makes it possible to limit access to areas and easily regulate the flow of individuals. Likewise, it is this technology that makes it possible to prevent a third party from boarding with another person’s passport.

Avoid identity theft

In 2021, the National Agency for Secure Documents (ANTS) announced the online publication of a CNI-e. Unlike the traditional version, this piece of identification contains biometric data.

For the user, this has two major advantages. On the one hand, this technology limits identity theft since the photo is no longer the only element required to pass the checks. On the other hand, it makes it possible to spend less time at identification positions in public and parapublic services.

Preserve industrial secrecy

A company’s know-how is what makes it unique. Inevitably, it is necessary to limit access to sensitive data to ensure the sustainability of the firm. This is where biometrics comes in.

Using a contactless fingerprint reader or facial recognition software, it is easy to restrict access to an area. And unlike a simple card reader, a biometric reader guarantees that it is the authorized person who has access to the place.

Article 31 : IDEMIA participe au programme d’identité numérique national

IDEMIA participates in the national digital identity program

Biometrics

After deploying more than 135 identification programs around the world, IDEMIA has been given a new mission: to design an application for smartphones allowing French people to prove who they are.

For the National Agency for Secure Titles (ANTS), automating this process is becoming a government emergency. As operations gradually become digital, it is necessary to be able to verify visitor profiles with certainty. To do this, the state entity has set up the Digital Identity Guarantee Service (SGIN).

The SGIN: towards 100% automatic identification

It was last year that ANTS announced the launch of the SGIN. From the outset, the organization’s goal was clear: to simplify, secure and speed up online identification.

In order to accomplish this feat, the SGIN will rely on the information contained in the chips of the National Digital Identity Cards (CNI-e). Introduced in 2021, these new identification documents have already been adopted by 4.5 million French people.

Unlike earlier versions, CNI-e encrypts data in their framework. It is by reading these that the application developed by IDEMIA allows citizens to prove who they are.

The SGIN: an application that reads CNI-e

Acting as an extension of the CNI-e, the application developed facilitates access to public and private services. For the Internet user, the procedure is broken down into three stages:

go to the URL indicated for identification (or transaction);
place the CNI-e on the back of your smartphone;
confirm personal information by inserting a PIN code.

In a few seconds, the data inserted into the CNI-e is read and access to services is granted. Note that biometric data will never be transmitted to a third party, they will remain secure in the CNI-e.

With this application, the ANTS puts biometrics at the service of French users. Logging in has never been easier.

Article 30 : IDEMIA étend sa présence à l’Aéroport de Singapour-Changi avec sa technologie multi-biométrique

IDEMIA extends its presence at Singapore Changi Airport with multi-biometric frictionless technology

Biometrics

IDEMIA‘s biometric solutions facilitate the experience of millions of passengers at Singapore Changi Airport. As borders reopen and international travel restarts, the company is expanding its solutions to two new Terminals and continues to offer more fluidity and security to passengers.

An improvement to the current system

IDEMIA first launched its biometric access system in Terminal 4 at Singapore Changi Airport in 2017. In March 2022, the world leader in identity technologies extended its biometric solutions to the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The company is thus continuing its long-standing partnership with Singapore.

The new deployments are based on an improvement of the current system, with the integration of the TraveLane 2 Steps solution with ID-Look. Combined with immediate identity verification, the biometric solution allows for faster immigration control. The system also facilitates family travel with the integration of a reserved lane: automatic doors allow the passage of a group of four passengers.

A smoother and safer experience

IDEMIA’s solutions, combining state-of-the-art biometric technology with facial and fingerprint recognition, have helped increase passenger numbers without compromising security. Indeed, multi-biometric technology combines the capture of biometric data with the automated immigration control process. The move is part of Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) New Clearance Concept (NCC), which aims to make automated customs clearance the norm for all travelers in the country by 2023.

Thanks to its expertise in biometrics, the world leader in identity technologies is supporting Singapore-Changi Airport towards a digital-centric, smoother and more secure journey for local and international passengers.
