Personal identity in a globalized world Today s globalized world is fast, mobile, and highly virtualized. We now expect access to everything anytime, anywhere. However, this requires fast, reliable personal identification and verification. Border control agents, for example, have to clear more travelers through checkpoints than ever before. In e-voting, voter identification is essential to preventing electoral fraud. Furthermore, in e-government processes, authorities must be able to quickly verify citizens identities beyond a doubt. In short, security remains a major concern in all areas of public life, both nationally and internationally. issuance, and verification as well as secure identity management require decades of experience, profound technological and logistics knowhow, and close familiarity with government processes. The Solution Very few companies fit this profile well enough to globally supply secure identity documents and the systems and solutions required to manage them. The Challenge Governments thus face a major challenge: to reliably identify citizens and travelers and effectively protect them from the threat of identity theft and fraud. Luckily, they can draw on a wide variety of identity protection products, systems, and solutions from long-lived counterfeit-proof identity documents and highly secure systems for handling personal data and biometrics to efficient applications for e-government, border control, and e-voting.
