Togo is About to Initiate Biometric ID for All Its Residents



The government of Togo is going to start the biometric census of its population soon. All related research and preparations have been completed, and the project is about to be launched very soon.

A press release published at the end of December 2018 says that the project will be initiated by January 2019. The scope of the project is to provide biometric IDs to all of its citizens and non-citizen residents. The government is expecting to gain accurate information about its population to ensure better distribution of social and public services for everyone.

Reasons behind the Implementation of Biometric ID

As one of the leading biometric technology vendors for many years, M2SYS Technology has successfully deployed thousands of biometric systems in over 100 countries. In 2015, the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs in Turkey initiated the project of Biometric National ID for its citizens, where M2SYS was involved as a biometric technology vendor and enrolled over 12 million biometric data templates. Based on our 17 years of experience working in the industry, we believe that there are some reasons have driven Togo to go for this biometric ID project.

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning:  The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...
