SafeTravellers Project

The EU funded project SafeTravellers (Secure and Frictionless Identity for EU and Third Country National Citizens) aims at: * strengthening the security at the borders; * improving the productivity of the Border Authorities and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) by providing them with the appropriate tools to combat identity fraud at the hardware, identity and travel document, and biometrics level; * offering a frictionless border crossing experience for EU/TCN citizens as they will not have to stop at the border checkpoints. SafeTravellers is both proposing a new way of citizen identification based on multiple biometrics instead of the problematic identity document, as well as an enhancement of the current way of identity verification at the borders through a set of tools that will detect attacks at the biometric hardware, identity and travel document fraud and attempts to falsify biometrics.
