ID card plus fingerprint identification information security issue who guarantee

On the 24th, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for the first time reviewed the draft amendments to the resident identity card law, adding fingerprint information to the registration of resident ID cards, and the first-generation resident ID cards will be suspended from January 1, 2013. The draft plans to add provisions to ensure the safety of citizens’ personal information, prevent citizens’ fingerprints and other personal information from being divulged illegally, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens according to law. However, many members expressed concern about whether they can protect personal information security. Identity card plus fingerprint information, security issues who guarantee?

Identity card plus fingerprint information, "should" or "must"?

According to the provisions of the draft amendments, Article 3 of the Resident Identity Card Act adds a third paragraph: “Citizens should register their fingerprint information when they apply for collection, redemption, or replacement of a citizen’s identity card.

In this regard, Lang Sheng committee members believe that according to the provisions of the amendment, new fingerprints must be entered into personal fingerprint information. The original input is still valid. This results in the coexistence of fingerprints and non-fingerprint identity cards. This strengthens social management and The effect of safeguarding the rights and interests of citizens will be compromised. Many people’s existing ID cards are valid for a long period of time. Some of them do not need to change their lives forever. This is not conducive to the management, use, and inspection of ID cards. It is suggested that public security agencies take effective measures to promote the replacement and reunify them as soon as possible.

Committee member Chen Sixi hopes that the relevant departments of the State Council can adopt a more positive attitude to promote the transition of ID cards to have fingerprint information. Yan Yixin suggested that the draft stipulates that “the fingerprint information should be registered” and whether it can be stipulated as “must” in order to increase the mandatory nature of the clause.

The draft plans to include fingerprint information in the resident identity card, and at the same time, increase the protection of citizens' personal information security. In the group deliberation on the afternoon of the 24th, most of the members of the Standing Committee expressed their support for this provision, but many members expressed concern about whether they can protect personal information security. They think that the provisions of the amendment are "low in violation of the law" and "penalty." Insufficient efforts, it is recommended to increase the protection of personal information including fingerprints.

Zhu Qi said that if citizens' information, especially fingerprint information, is collected in a centralized manner and if they are leaked or maliciously stolen, the consequences are unimaginable. In September this year, the Beijing police arrested a criminal gang that exclusively bought and sold citizens’ personal information online. In the computer of the suspect, the police discovered tens of millions of citizens’ personal information involving all parts of the country, triggering the safety of personal information from all walks of life. Worries.

Committee member Jin Binghua believes that the amendment imposes penalties on the two situations in which the unit constitutes a crime and does not constitute a crime. It stipulates clearly that the crime does not constitute a crime, and punishes a specific person. However, it only stated that criminal responsibility should be pursued and the criminal responsibility of the investigators was not clearly written. According to this provision, the criminal responsibility of the “unit” is investigated, and it has not been implemented to a specific person. It does not correspond to the formulation that does not constitute a crime. The front is to say that the unit has the behavior of the preceding paragraph and pursues criminal responsibility. It is suggested that the responsibilities of anyone should be clearly stated. This is more rigorous and easier to implement.

Li Lanning members believe that in the case of rapid Internet information development, the disclosure of personal information and infringement of citizens’ private information and personal information will not be effective in penalizing punishment. It is proposed to increase the severity of administrative punishment.

The system is gradually perfected, and the application of fingerprint identification is imperative. With the development of the industry, fingerprint recognition has a long development time, and the development speed is fast, and after many years of marketing and application, in the access control, time and attendance, safe, identity authentication, etc. There are more mature products in the aspect, and because its cost is lower than other identification technologies, it is more easily promoted and accepted by users.

Li Jian, security technology manager of Ingersoll Rand stated: "The fingerprint recognition technology has developed to the present technology is more mature, its cost is also reduced, the volume is getting smaller and smaller, but difficult to identify in the case of serious or dirty fingerprints, in addition There are also problems with being collected, copied, etc.. For the problem of fingerprints being copied, many biometrics people think that the copying of fingerprints is only a problem for certain fingerprint collection methods. If it is the collection of fingerprints by high-tech acquisition methods such as ultrasonic collection, etc. The problem will be solved, but the relative fingerprint collection cost will also be doubled.

At this stage, fingerprint identification is more widely used in small and medium-sized businesses, such as access control, attendance, and cabinets locks that are less demanding for security, and computer mobile phone authentication. However, as people increasingly pay attention to personal life and property security and privacy, fingerprints Identifying applications is imperative, and with the continuous improvement of the system, fingerprint identification technology will be applied more widely.
