Wireless Distance-Verifying Security System for ID Card/Document Enrollment Stations

Abstract

Modern ID Cards and passports have evolved into sophisticated, complex positive-ID instruments that embody a wide variety of anti-cloning and anti-forgery techniques, such as: digitized biometrics, micro-printing, encryption, RFID, embedded processing, holo-graphic overlays, and UV/IR-visible features, among others. This poster describes a practical system for protecting against theft of the enrollment stations that produce these ID instruments, by providing a "lock" to a specific location. If a protected enrollment system is moved from that location, it will fail to function. This non-GPS location-locking technique is strongly protected against sniffing and spoofing, is immune to relay attacks, and cannot be copied - not even by its manufacturer
