Introduction
Birth certificates and marriage certificates are collectively referred to as breeder documents. Obtaining
authentic travel documents based on false breeder documents poses a major threat. The CEN/TS 17489
series [1] provides guidance on secure and interoperable European breeder documents that can be
used for establishing and verifying identity in various scenarios such as application for ePassports and
other identity documents.
A secure binding of breeder documents to their legitimate holders would increase the trust in the
breeder documents and prevent identity theft. This can be achieved using biometrics, but several
challenges arise in the context of breeder documents: In the case of birth certificates, the acquisition of
biometric characteristics from infants can be impractical. Furthermore, as some biometric
characteristics are sensible to ageing, linking breeder documents to their legitimate holders can become
difficult after some time.
This document discusses options for the use of biometrics in breeder documents. It compares
fingerprint, face, iris, palmprint, footprint, palm vein and finger vein recognition regarding verification
performance, privacy impact, feasibility of biometric acquisition in different age groups and
permanence of biometric features. Though resistance against presentation attacks (spoofing) is also
required, a comparison regarding presentation attack resistance is omitted because these biometric
modes can fulfil this criterion to a similar extent. Several studies have presented ways in which
biometric characteristics can be forged. Presentation attack detection is possible but can increase the
FNMR.
Even though non-coding DNA profiles allow a reliable verification of identity over the entire lifetime,
DNA profiles are not taken into consideration for use in breeder documents. The reason is that
processing of genetic material poses prohibitive risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons
because it can give rise to discrimination as it can reveal ethnic origin or genetic diseases [2].
