We have developed a set of protocols that enable a compact, tamper-resistant device to serve as a biometric identity credential, which can be securely read by authorized terminals. Our objective is to provide highly secure identity verification while ensuring strong protection of users' privacy.

Unlike traditional biometric passports, our protocols leave no exploitable digital trace and are deniable by design. Furthermore, access to the identity information stored on the device is protected by robust access control mechanisms.

This access control can rely either on a strong Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) approach or on a lighter password-based authentication model, depending on the required level of security and functionality.

As a proof of concept, we have successfully implemented these protocols on JavaCard, using finger vein biometric recognition for authentication.
