Comment on Ask HN: Does airport fingerprinting compromise my biometric security?parent

Comments

as far as i know, we do not store fingerprints but i kind of hash of the fingerprint

Kyrgyzstan also has a similar database but with actual fingerprints, not hashes. It is illegal to not have a passport for anyone 16+ and your cannot have one without fingerprinting. The procedure was introduced by the ruling party to allegedly make elections secure and sponsored by the Japanese government (JAICA).
