MEMBER NEWS: Facial recognition from iProov used in UK trials of security at maritime ports DIACC member iProov has been testing facial recognition technology to speed up border checks at UK maritime ports, where passengers often stay inside their vehicles. Unlike airports, ports face unique challenges, especially with the upcoming EU Entry/Exit System (EES), which could cause long delays. The UK Home Office trials focused on matching passengers with their IDs without requiring them to step out. iProov sees this as a step toward seamless and secure travel, with digital identity playing a bigger role in the future. As EES rolls out, innovations like these could help reduce wait times and improve efficiency. h/t Biometric Update Joe Palmer #facialrecognition #identityverification #digitaltrust https://lnkd.in/gzEnmbAb

Responding to the Government of Canada’s call for feedback for Budget 2025, DIACC recently submitted critical recommendations for prioritizing digital trust. In today’s geopolitical and economic climate, Canada must act now to: ➡️ Ensure economic security, growth, and productivity through trusted digital transactions; and ➡️ Strengthen identity verification and fraud prevention to combat emerging threats like misinformation and AI-generated fraud. As such, we are urging the government to: ➡️ Prioritize digital trust in four key areas related to privacy and security; ➡️ Integrate verification and authentication tools into Canada's AI strategy; and ➡️ Allocate funding for adopting digital trust tools for the benefit of government, businesses, and Canadians DIACC is also calling for a unified, proactive approach between government, industry, and tech leaders—helping establish Canada as a trusted global hub for trade, seamless labour mobility, and secure financial transactions. With frictionless, verifiable interactions, Canada can unlock new economic opportunities, forge stronger international partnerships, and drive long-term prosperity. Let's shape the future of Canada’s digital security together. Read DIACC’s full recommendations below. https://lnkd.in/gjKjm4ZE #DigitalTrust #DigitalEconomy #DigitalGovernance
