MOBILE APPLICATION
Access via smart-phones or mobile electronic devices
Real-time estimated waiting time at major land boundary control points
18
INVESTIGATIONS INTO FORGED DOCUMENTS
Prevention and detection of forged travel documents for illegal migration, crimes or terrorism
Intelligence-led operation strategy with other outside law enforcement agencies
Intelligence-based watchlist mechanism Sharing data (e.g. counter fraud measures of HK
travel documents) with counterparts Keeping out undesirables and criminals
19
CHALLENGES ARISING FROMAUTOMATED CLEARANCE SERVICE
1. Fingerprint capture performance
2. Anti-Spoofing performance
3. Physical and environmental constraint
20
1) FINGERPRINT CAPTURE PERFORMANCE
Scanning performance affected by wet and dry finger of passengers
Measures: Placing wet sponge inside e-Gates Frequent cleaning of scanners Gate-keepers to offer assistance
21
Facial Recognition
Fingerprint verification
DUAL Factors Authentication
2) ANTI-SPOOFING PERFORMANCE
Affected by dust and humidityMeasures: Sourcing new spoofing technologies in the market Introducing Dual factors authentication
22
3) PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINT
Difficult to expand existing infrastructureBalancing between the provision of e-Gates and
tradition counters to allow suitable flexibility
23
ROADMAP OF OUR BORDER CONTROL
Continuous adoption of information and
communication technologies
Increase e-Gates from 425 to about 600 by 2016
24
ROADMAP OF OUR BORDER CONTROL
Promoting bi-lateral and multi-lateral use of e-
Gates
Harmonisation and standardisation of ABC
system globally
Continuous support and participation in the
ICAO Public Key Directory
