New York, NY (PRWEB) April 22, 2008 -- IBG, the industry's leading developer and integrator of biometric systems and solutions, is pleased to announce its upcoming teleconference: European Union Considerations for e-Passport, Biometrics, and Border Control Programs, to be held Thursday, April 24th, at 9 am EST/3 pm BST.

e-Passport, Visa, and border control systems regulations and specifications continue to evolve in sophistication and complexity. Understanding requirements is crucial to government agencies and commercial vendors implementing these systems. IBG Senior Consultant David Coleman will discuss requirements, specifications, and legalities EU Member States should consider when developing e-Passport, biometrics, and border control systems, including:

Interoperability and standards

System deployments
Registration, enrollment, personalization, and issuance processes
Projected developments in EU Member States
Recent IBG work for an EU member state

The teleconference will also address EU-BMS, SIS-II, Prum Treaty and National AFIS System requirements. The impact of ISO and ICAO Machine Readable Travel Document standards on European Citizen Card and Residence Permits will also be discussed.

Mr. Coleman will address the use of e-Passport and Schengen Visa documents from the perspective of the border control officer and passenger, including use cases for EU, US, and third party citizens arriving from Schengen and non-Schengen destinations. These use cases will address the interfaces with appropriate SIS and VIS systems. Finally, the use of PKI and biometrics for BAC- and EAC-compliant passports will be examined, including usability of the advanced authentication mechanisms.
