Securing a complex world

In a hyperconnected world, with exponential growth in personal mobility and data exchanges and asharp increase in migratory flows, governments and public administrations face a major challenge:enabling travellers to move around easily at the same time as fighting illegal immigration, cybercrimeand terrorism.

Thales, trusted partner of Frenchgovernment agencies

Thales has contributedto four of France'slargest civil biometricsprogrammes in recentyears.In early 2013, Thaleswas selected to provide

through-life support and upgrades for France’s biometricpassport enrolment system. In 2012, the companywas selected by the French Ministry of the Interior todevelop the software used to incorporate fingerprintsas well as photos on the electronic residence permitsissued to foreign nationals. In 2010, the Ministry ofthe Interior awarded Thales a contract to deploybiometric enrolment and data transmission stationsto handle Schengen visa applications in severalcountries. In 2009, the Ministry of the Interior and theMinistry of Immigration selected Thales to design anddevelop the national biometrics system, whichprovides the biometric functions needed to managethe residency status of foreign nationals.

More than 300 million identity documentsissued worldwideMore than 25 countries have selected Thales to producesecure ID documents and operational control systems,and a total of more than 300 million documents havebeen produced by Thales systems to date. Thales isrecognised for its expertise as an integrator of secureidentity management systems, and has supported theFrench government in this area for more than 30years. In Morocco, the company recently awardedThales a follow-on contract to supply an additional 5million cards a year. In Kenya, Thales has alreadyproduced more than 30 million identity cards.

In Cameroon, the company is supplying a system toproduce and manage national ID cards and residencepermits.

Biometric visas: a top priorityGovernments are well aware of the economic andsocial importance of the free movement of people,and at the same time they recognise the need fortighter control over migration flows. To regulate mobilitywhile enabling as many people as possible to benefitfrom these new opportunities, many countries haveagreed to work together to establish minimum requirementsfor issuing travel documents such as visas.

Based on its expertise in secure biometrics systems,Thales was selected by the French Ministry of theInterior in 2010 as part of a plan to outsource BioNETvisa application processing.

The rise of border control solutionssThe International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)has established new international standards for electronicpassports, which now include biometric data in asecure chip embedded in the document. To processthese new travel documents, governments are deployingborder control systems in airports and other ports ofentry along the country's land and maritime borders. These large-scale equipment programmes make iteasier to check travellers' ID documents as they enteror leave the country, playing a significant role inenhancing national security.

Thales designs and deploys nationalborder control solutions and electronicvisa systems that offer maximum securitywhile protecting the traveller's right toprivacy. In 2013, for example, Thalesprovided border control systems toUzbekistan.

Governments are responding to international pressure as well as popular demand for new governmentservices by modernising their organisations, and offering citizens access to a range of additionalgovernment services associated with their identity documents while still protecting their personal details.Thales offers turnkey identity management solutions that provide governments with the hardware,software and specialist skills they need to make the shift to a more integrated form of e-government.

France's first computerised national identitycard production system

In 1980, Thales supplied the French government withits first computerised national identity card productionsystem, which was later used as the basis for issuingresidency permits to foreign nationals. The system hasbeen used to produce 500,000 residency permitsa year, acquiring data from application forms submittedat administrative offices around the country.

Since 1988, Thales has provided the system used foracquisition of citizen identity data, secure personalisation(photo, signature), production and automatic authenticationof France’s national identity cards.The system has been in use nationwide since 1995,producing an average of 6 million ID documents everyyear.

Starting in 2001, Thales further developedthe production system to incorporate newphysical security features and bring the IDdocuments into line with Europeanregulations.

F r an c e ' s s e cu r e e - pa s spo r tp e r s o n a l i s a t i o n s y s t e m

Over a five-week period in early 2006,Thales installed a complete graphic andelectronic personalisation system (printedphoto and electronic chip) at the governmentprinting office to launch production of

France's first e-passports.The system has been in service since May 2006,enabling France to meet its commitments to its Europeanpartners by issuing ICAO-compliant passports to itsnationals. By November the same year, France hadused the system to issue 1 million e-passports.

France's national biometric system for foreignresidents

In 2009, Thales was selected by the French Ministryof the Interior and Ministry of Immigration to designand deliver the AGDREF II national biometrics system,which provides the biometric functions needed tomanage the residency status of foreign nationals.
