Before the Law on Identification officially took effect from July 1 and the identification cards were put into use, some readers wondered whether the collection of biometric data of iris , DNA, and voice to carry out procedures for issuing identification cards as well as the identification database would ensure information security?
People can rest assured that the collection of biometric information such as iris, DNA, and voice is guaranteed to be safe.
Get security, stay safe
Mr. Hoang Vy (HCMC) said that his citizen identification card has expired, on July 1st he will have to change to an ID card. According to regulations, when applying for an ID card, iris information will be collected. Mr. Vy wondered if this collection is mandatory or not?
“In addition to collecting iris biometrics for identification, I also heard that DNA and voice will be collected into the identification database for management purposes. If all this information must be collected, will it be guaranteed to be safe and secure, because it is all extremely important information?” - Mr. Hoang Vy said.
Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Viet Nga also expressed concern about collecting additional new information. Because according to her research, the reason for collecting additional irises and because fingerprints may change over time, is it guaranteed that the iris will not change? Is collecting additional DNA and voice required like the iris and how will they be used?
“Currently, many people still cannot imagine how the iris collection will take place, but one thing is for sure, everyone will worry about whether this is safe and whether this personal information is secure. Because if it is accidentally leaked, it is very likely that bad people will take advantage of the information to impersonate people and do bad things,” Ms. Nga expressed.
People can rest assured
According to Ho Chi Minh City Police , the collection of biometric information such as DNA, iris, and voice is as follows:
Regarding iris biometric information, according to Point b, Clause 1, Article 23 of the Law on Identification, the order and procedures for issuing identification cards are stipulated as follows: The recipient collects identification information and biometric information including facial photos, fingerprints, and irises of the person requesting an identification card.
Thus, the collection of biometric information is mandatory and will be collected by the identity management agency when citizens apply for an identity card.
Regarding DNA and voice biometric information, according to Point d, Clause 1, Article 16 of the Law on Identification, it is stipulated that: DNA and voice biometric information is collected when people voluntarily provide it or when the criminal prosecution agency or the agency managing the person subject to administrative handling measures in the process of handling the case according to its functions and tasks conducts an appraisal or collects people's DNA and voice biometric information, then it is shared with the identification management agency to update and adjust the identification database.
Therefore, the ID management agency will not collect biometric information about DNA and voice during the process of collecting ID card applications. The collection, updating and adjustment of biometric information about DNA and voice into the ID database is done through the connection and sharing of information between competent agencies with the ID management agency.
However, before collecting and updating biometric information about DNA and voice into the ID database, the ID database management agency is responsible for coordinating with the agency or organization that has tested and analyzed the citizen's biometric information about DNA and voice to check, compare and authenticate to ensure the accuracy of the information.
Personal information data of citizens in the national population database and identification database is strictly protected and can only be exploited and used in accordance with the provisions of law. Therefore, citizens can rest assured that their information is always kept confidential and secure.
The iris does not change over time.
Updating citizens' irises into the ID database will be done based on international standards and regulations at the highest level of encryption security for information security.
In addition, the iris is a thin, round structure located in the eye, which has the function of adjusting the lens and the size of the pupil. At the same time, each person's iris is unique, does not change over time and age, when using the iris, it is highly safe, fast and accurate. People can be completely assured about the problem of no data leakage or leakage.
