An anonymous reader writes "Israeli's government has approved the creation of a Biometric database which would contain fingerprints and facial photos of all Israeli citizens. If the bill becomes law — and it is at an early stage — the Biometric information of each citizen would be embedded in their passport and national ID card. Israeli citizens would be required by law to submit to Biometric testing upon request by government employees, soldiers, and policemen, so that their Biometric info can be compared to the info embedded in their ID card / passport. The declared purpose of the bill is to combat forgery of passports and ID cards, and also to aid identification 'in cases of a mass disaster.' The bill was approved over objections from civil rights groups and the Israeli Bar. The article notes that no other democratic country has a comprehensive Biometric database of all citizens." ...

New microchipped passports designed to protect against identity theft by terrorists and criminals can easily be faked, it was claimed today. Tests showed that personal information could be cloned and manipulated within an hour before being inserted into new chips, the Times reported. The paper said it had exposed "security flaws" in the passport system by asking a researcher to clone the chips on two British passports and implant digital images of Osama bin Laden and a suicide bomber. The altered chips were then passed as genuine by reader software used by the UN agency that sets the standards for such e-passports. The tests showed that bogus biometrics could be inserted in fake or blank passports, the Times alleged, saying the flaws also undermined assertions that 3,000 blank passports stolen last week could not be forged. The identity and passport service at the Home Office remained confident, however, that the British Biometric passport was "one of the most secure passports available", saying no one had been able to demonstrate they could modify or change information contained in a chip, and that if they did, it would be obvious to the reader. A spokesman added: "Continuing investment in Biometric technology and enhanced security measures will help ensure that passport security is maintained now and in the future." The tests for the Times were conducted by Jeroen van Beek, a security researcher at Amsterdam university who can re ...
