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

Comments

I'm not sure retina is included in every passport. We're not a member of the EU, but our IDs and passports are compatible.

We have encrypted face biometry and fingerprints on them, but no retina. None of the countries I have visited required my retina scan, either.

In the older versions, some data was unencrypted, and most encryption was optional, and someone built a passport scanner and made a talk. I remember that some heads are proverbially rolled and some specifications are updated.

Na, the one that me and the parent are referring to does not apply for visitors. It's for all citizens of India that have opted for the Adhaar card (which is pretty much the entire population).

I know India does this, but I'm not aware that EU countries are doing this, for their population.
