What is PD CEN/TS 16634 - Personal identification of biometrics in European Automated Border Control about?
PD CEN/TS 16634 primarily focuses on biometric aspects of Automated Border Control (ABC) systems. Drawing on the first European and international ABC deployments, PD CEN/TS 16634 aims to disseminate best practice experiences with a view to ensure consistent security levels in European ABC deployments.
Furthermore, the best practice recommendations given here shall help make border control authorities' processes more efficient, speeding up border clearance, and delivering an improved experience to travellers.
Note 1: The enrolment process, e.g., for electronic passports, is out of the scope of PD CEN/TS 16634 .
Note 2: Communication, infrastructure scalability and security aspects other than those related to biometrics are not considered.
