FR2840478A1 - SECURITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND INVIOLABILITY PROCESS CONCERNING THE MANAGEMENT OF CIVIL STATUS AND THE ALLOCATION OF IDENTITY DOCUMENTS - Google Patents

Abstract

The process consists of securing the birth declarations, the Civil Status register kept at the place of birth, the birth certificate extracts, a mandatory document for the issuance of the secure identity document, then carrying out an issue. secure identity documents, by creating chains of controllable links, in an irrefutable way, between the information contained in these different documents. Concerning the management of Civil Status, a bio-metric or genetic data is added to the data usual civil status and a control die combining part of the administrative information and bio-metric or genetic information is calculated. Each page of the Civil Status register is immediately secured and perpetuated by a secure lamination preventing any modification of the data recorded at birth. All or relevant part of the information entered in the register can be archived in parallel in a database for computer monitoring of the data of the national register of civil status. Regarding the issuance of identity documents, we check that is in the presence of the individual concerned and that the birth certificate extract is authentic. In addition to the usual information and documents, the control key is recalculated from the data present on the birth certificate extract but using as a bio-metric (or genetic) source a re-entry of the print (retinal, fingerprint). , DNA, etc.) of the applicant. Thus any identity theft is prevented, by validating the issuance of the document only after a favorable analysis of the intelligent comparison of the original key on the birth certificate extract and of the recalculated key.

Description

in the ranking.

  The present invention relates to a method of securing, perpetuating and inviolability conceming the management of civil status and ['allocation of identity documents, by the establishment of a protocol and secure fiduciary documents. Indeed in many countries, we find that authentic secure documents - National identity cards, Passports, Driver's license etc. - are

  issued by the administrations concerned, on the basis of illegitimate or falsified data.

  Principle: The process consists in securing the birth declarations, the register of civil status kept at the place of birth, the extracts from the birth certificate, compulsory document of the issuance of the secure identity document. , then to carry out a secure transmission of identity documents, by creating chains of controllable links, in an irrefutable manner, between the information contained on these

different documents.

  Concerning declarations to the civil status, the attachment document, includes the usual information: date and time, father and mother, place of birth, sex and all other information provided for by the legislation of the country concerned. In addition to this declaration is integrated bio-metric information, such as in a non-exhaustive manner, fingerprints, retinal imprints, specific to the newborn (N.B. one can also use the DNA imprint). The authentication of this document is guaranteed by legal procedures, some of which exist, such as the use of a fiduciary document, certification by a sworn civilian or military officer, etc. In one of the applications of the invention, a removable label adapted to fingerprint capture, and integrated into the declaration form, makes it possible to

  collect fingerprints at birth.

  Regarding the civil status register, it consists of a fiduciary document stored in a secure environment, intended for long-term archiving and comprising an individual fiduciary number pre-established for each individual. In addition to the usual information carried over from the declaration, the ministerial officer includes the bio-metric information (or DNA) in the register himself. In one of the applications of the invention, a removable label resulting from the birth declaration and on which the fingerprints appear, is checked on the

Civil status register.

  A control key, in the form of alphanumeric, graphic or

- 2 - 2840478

  other, is calculated by the sworn officer from a combination of certain information from the register, including a relevant interpretation of the bio metric information (or DNA), and entered in the said register. As an example, one can quote a two-dimensional graphic code calculated as a function of the fiduciary number, the computer interpretation of the fingerprint, and the date of birth. The register page, once completed, is laminated for the part concerning birth information with a laminate secured by specific printing systems, thus preventing any subsequent fraudulent modification of the data and guaranteeing an extended retention period for archiving. . All or part of the relevant information entered in the register, can be parallel archived in a database for infomatic monitoring of data from the national register

of Civil Status.

  In another version of the invention, the bio-metric information may not be included in the register of civil status, but on the contrary destroyed after calculation of the control key. The so-called control key can only be recalculated in the presence of

the individual is concerned.

  With regard to the issuance of identity documents, it is denied that one is in the presence of the individual concerned and that the birth certificate extract is authentic. In addition to the usual information and documents, the control key is recalculated from the same data concerning civil status but using as a biometric (or genetic) source a re-capture of the imprint (retinal, digital, DNA, etc.). ) of the applicant. Thus we prevent any usurpation of identity, by validating ['emission of the document only after a favorable analysis of the intelligent comparison of the key

  original on the extract of birth certificate and the recalculated key.

  The authentication of the document issued is carried out by the means

  security of identity documents.

  It is possible to integrate the characteristics of the bio metric (or genetic) data into the issue number or simply to transfer the original key or the recalculated key to the new identity document by printing (text or graphics).

  or by any means of storage exist or to come (Chip, magnetic tape).

  Declinations of the invention: In a first version of the invention, the security phase of authentication of the legitimacy of the request for issuance of identity document is

  found during secure establishment of the birth certificate extract. The attachment document consists of a secure fiduciary document, the functions of which are as follows: The request for birth certificate extract is issued by a sworn administration, which will enter in addition to the usual information in this type of document, I ' bio-metric (or genetic) information. Wile will be sent to the competent sworn body responsible for maintaining the Civil Registry. Generally the town hall of the place of birth. The sworn registrar will compare all of the information, and in particular the bio-metric information, to the original information frozen at birth. In the event of a positive correlation, the sworn officer guarantees this correlation. The birth certificate is issued and becomes the legal reference document for the

identity title.

  Concerning the issue of the secure identity document, in addition to the usual information and documents, the individual must provide the birth certificate issued

  under the security conditions described above.

  In a second version of the invention, the security phase of authentication of the legitimacy of the request for issuance of identity document is at the time of the request itself. The applicant must be present and provide an extract of birth certificate, certified copy of the data from the civil status register. The key is recalculated from the new fingerprint entry and civil status information, then compared with that presented on the birth certificate extract. In case of

  positive correlation the identity document can be issued.

  In a third version of the invention, an improvement on the second, a computer archiving of the civil status register data is required at the time of laminating. When requesting the issuance of an identity document, the data in the extract from the birth certificate supplied by the applicant are compared with the data stored in the computer database. A mismatch then indicates an attempt to falsify one or other of the data sources. Otherwise, the procedure can be continued. For greater security, physical archiving (Civil Registry) and computer archiving can be done in two different geographic locations (for example town hall and prefecture)
