Breeder documents and standardisation: Towards common best practices in Europe

Caroline De Condé
Standardization Project Manager, AFNOR, France

Synopsis
While ePassport issuance, checking, and revocation has been standardised and the passport itself is well protected by advanced security features, there is no such harmonisation at European level on Breeder documents. A minimum common set of recommendations will aim at harmonising processes of various Breeder documents to improve security by reducing identity fraud.

A standardization process may be considered to raise a first level agreement on a voluntary European deliverable and implement key recommendations raised by Origins on security issues.
