Coalition could allow firms to buy access to facial recognition data
Una specie di SPID con riconoscimento facciale, aperto ai privati. <https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/26/government-could-allow-fi...> The federal government is considering allowing private companies to use its national facial recognition database for a fee, documents released under Freedom of Information laws reveal. The partially redacted documents show that the Attorney General’s Department is in discussions with major telecommunications companies about pilot programs for private sector use of the Facial Verification Service in 2018. The documents also indicate strong interest from financial institutions in using the database. [...] The government struck a deal with states and territories over the controversial national facial recognition database last month. According to the documents, which predate the agreement, at that time 50% of the population was already included in the database. With the help of state and territory governments, the federal Attorney General’s Department planned to expand that number to cover 85% of Australians. According to the partially redacted documents, “the [Attorney General’s] Department is currently in exploratory discussions with some of the major telecommunications carriers [redacted] regarding their potential use of the [Face Verification Service].” Under the plan, companies using the FVS would collect a facial image of their customer and send it to the “Biometric Interoperability Hub”. The hub then uses the national database to check the photo against an image on one of their government records, such as a passport or driving license photo, to verify that it is the same person. The company would receive a yes/no response, without seeing the image held by the government or having direct access to the database. [...] Alberto
beh, non proprio.. uno e' un DB centralizzato di foto di persone l'altro e' una rete federata di autenticatori di credenziali a due fattori... ciao, s. On 26/11/2017 12:12, Alberto Cammozzo wrote:

Certo, ed è una bella differenza. All'opposto diversi paesi prima raccolgono centralmente dati biometrici per la sicurezza, poi li usano per l'identificazione, poi li offrono anche per impieghi privati. La stessa infrastruttura serve applicazioni diverse con esigenze diametralmente opposte. Oltre all'esempio appena fatto dell'Australia: ADhaar in India viene usato negli aeroporti, esponendo l'identificativo unico del passeggero e permettendo la raccolta dei suoi dati biometrici. <http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/aadhaar-verification-at-airports-ra...> In uno SPID esteso al settore privato potrebbe essere utile poter esporre pseudonimi, ovvero ID multipli per la stessa identità, anche usando lo stesso autenticatore. E' possibile? Ciao, Alberto On 26/11/2017 12:31, Stefano Quintarelli wrote:
