IDENTITY THEFT – AN IMMENSE PROBLEM
6
Identity theft
• Increasing rapidly
• Substantial cost and losses:
• USD ~45 bn in US
• USD ~25 bn in Europe
• Are chip cards secure?
7
The Internet of Things:
Connectivity anytime and anyplace for anything
• Imagine a future where physical
objects, things, have identities,
virtual personalities and
communicate using intelligent
interfaces.
• The Internet of Things links the
objects and beings of the real
world with the virtual world.
8
Network
Added security is needed
• Added security by
multifactor authentication:
– Something you have
– Something you know
– Something you are
• Fingerprint biometrics
– Everyone has a unique
fingerprint
– Reliable and secure recognition
– Compact, low cost and low
power, readers

IDEX; THE ID OF YOU
• The IDEX SmartFinger® technology
adds security and safeguards your
privacy
• With the fingerprint sensor on the
card, the owner is linked uniquely
to the card just with a swipe of the
finger
• Biometric cards bring fingerprint ID
to mass market adoption
10
On the political agenda in Norway
• NorSIS - the Norwegian
Centre for Information
Security - suggests study on
fingerprint sensors for
national ID documents
• Letter to Department of
Justice
• Media picked up the issue
Dagbladet, 26 February 2011.
