Biometrics in future of vaccine passports Any kind of document, especially a passport, needs to be built on a foundation that allows it to operate across borders and jurisdictions.

Modern biometric solutions have many different modalities at their disposal, from fingerprints and face to voice and iris recognition.

For a person to access a vaccine passport they would present their face or voice as part of the authentication process instead of entering a username or password or answering a security question.
Here are the benefits that biometrics can provide for vaccine passports:
Security: Digital documents such as a vaccine passport can provide numerous benefits, but to make sure personal information and health records are safe, they need to be secure. Security needs to be high on the list when aiding the creation of a digital document, which means the digital solution that is supporting it must be robust. Since a Vaccine Passport would be more secure than a physical certificate, it could leverage biometrics to provide extensive security. Biometrics rely on something you are–your face, voice, iris, etc.—instead of something you have, like a password or the answer to a security question. This stronger security method could decrease instances of theft or hacking, ensuring personal information stays safe.

How much more Orwellian can we get?
The regular metric system was bad enough. This is America.
Oh great, it all sounds so compelling and enticing doesn’t it?
Not.
Everybody knows a computer system never makes mistakes. Right?
I’ll keep taking my chances just like I am now.
When and where did you get your passport photo?
Ammo’s a lot cheaper. . .
yeah lets use fraud proof voter registration and ballots and certify citizenship and eligibility to vote before we talk about vaccine passports
What could go wrong?
Your airline now asks for a passport as part of your record file with ticketing. So when you hit the kiosk when the flight arrives I imagine that they’re looking to match your image to a range of photos limited by the passengers on flights arriving that day.
More chip bilgewater.
And a RFID chip with gps tracking, and the tattoo mark, so the Global Community Morale Monitors can track them everywhere they go, and they can buy and sell with it.
If the vaccines seem increasingly ineffective, why have a passport at all?
FTS
The scanner is down.
We will have to detain you until the problem is solved.
Might be an hour or it could to several days.
For later
