- the invention relates to a mobile verification device for authenticating identity documents, in particular travel documents, according to the features of claim 1.
- identity documents in particular passports and other identity cards
- security features which permit a machine identification of the owner, prevent the misuse of such documents and increase their security against counterfeiting.
- machine-readable ID cards are summarized below under the term travel documents. They have at least the standardized ICAO line, which is machine-readable with an OCR reading system.
- the invention is not limited to the verification of ICAO-compliant travel documents, but also extends to the examination of other identification documents.
- Future machine-readable travel documents contain, according to ICAO standard ISO 9303, for example, in the personalization page or in the book cover, a storage element in the form of a radio chip, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) storage element, which can be read contactlessly via a transponder.
- a storage element in the form of a radio chip an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) storage element, which can be read contactlessly via a transponder.
- RFID Radio Frequency Identification
- the device In order to prevent conflicts with the control persons, the device should have an unaggressive effect, that is, for example, it should avoid any appeal to a weapon in its design. At the same time, it should be designed so that the user is not forced into close contact with the control person, in particular to any physical contact. It should rather allow him, for reasons of his own safety, to maintain a proper physical distance to the control person. In addition, it must be easy to use in order to leave the user, also for the sake of his personal safety, room for an observation of his counterpart, for example, to be able to respond to any attacks. Finally, in the case of assaults, it must not hinder its defense and, in particular, may not itself be used as a means of such attacks.
- the device should be protected against forcible removal by additional mechanical restraint devices, such as a strap, shoulder strap, or lanyard, and the device or its restraint should have a predetermined breaking point to protect the user against violent removal injuries.
- a mobile verification device is created, which particularly takes these requirements into account, by making the violent removal more difficult if possible, encouraging their re-procurement after violent deprivation if possible, or at least preventing misuse of the device by the staggler.
- the device thus takes into account the equipment of modern, in particular machine-readable identity documents and can be used by authorized persons in mobile use, for example at border points in the entry and exit control and in the verification of persons at any location.
- the verification device is provided for checking the authenticity of travel documents for mobile use.
