Building the Biometric Digital Security State - Afghanistan Was the Test Bed - Planning on a Visit to Australia?

Editor's note: Like Australia, Afghanistan was a testing ground for building biometric digital security systems. Do people really want private corporations building and having access to a data base they own with your complete biometric profile? In Afghanistan, biometric data was taken off the Afghan people at the point of a gun. For the rest of us including the Australians, a fabricated false sense of urgency or a threat to national security which Covid was created to do, is intimidating Australians into a digital existence. Once locked in there will be absolutely no way out. The machine has its crosshairs directly on Australia. The machine will lock the Australians into a digital identity system. Once locked in, Australians will be allotted a basic digital form of currency. Behavior performance will be monitored in real time by predictive analytics for compliance to global investment pools on human impact bonds first developed in the City of London. Note it is always advertised as "personal security." The best personal security is to not allow your personal data in digital form to be extracted from you to be loaded onto these digital platforms. This is the imperative behind Covid including syringes which is a financial event. This technology can and will be used against you.

Afghanistan's biometric data is at risk. How to improve security

• A biometric system in Afghanistan could be at risk in the ongoing conflict.
• The system contains the personal information of millions of Afghans.
• Governments, private sector and civil society must be consulted and involved when developing an inclusive and secure biometric system.
The international community has many concerns when it comes to the security and safety of people in Afghanistan. One of the main concerns for the privacy and security community, especially the ones who devote their knowledge and expertise to defending human rights online, is the existence of a biometric system that contains the personal information of millions of Afghans.

This system contains millions of fingerprints, iris scans and face photos of Afghan people who had their biometric data collected by US and coalition forces. The system was built more than 15 years ago to facilitate tracking and quickly identifying people for variety of purposes, from distributing e-vouchers by the World Food Programme to maintaining an electronic national identity card system.

What is biometric data and what are the privacy concerns?

Different from a password or an identification card, any collected biometric data, like fingerprints or iris scans, is much harder to forge, making it a reliable way to positively identify individuals. But that also means that it's harder to change it in the event of data being exposed or compromised. One can change their password or an ID card, but one cannot change their fingerprint or iris. Biometric data is as unique as a person, and the privacy and security measures thus have to be evaluated accordingly when developing and implementing biometric systems.

Many human rights and civil society groups have called for more security measures from the beginning of the development of this biometric system. They have expressed concerns that if proper security measures were not implemented, the system might introduce more harm long-term than help. They also demanded for plans to erase and delete all biometric data in case of emergencies like a change in government and ability to inform anyone whose data was exposed or compromised. It is currently unclear what data could be at risk.

A broader challenge is that if security challenges are not adequately addressed and emergency plans are not put in place when developing digital identity systems, confidence in the digital identity ecosystem could be dented, which could prevent its full potential value being unlocked.

How can we improve biometric security?

To avoid situations where biometric data could be exposed or compromised, a close cooperation between government, the private sector and civil society needs to be established. When developing digital identity ecosystems, nations face new cybersecurity challenges to ensure data confidentiality, integrity and availability on an ongoing basis. That is where different actors bring various perspectives that have to be considered and evaluated to prevent any potential harm and damage caused by a misuse, exploit or hack of the system.

Klaus Schwab's WEF has the solution. An engineered virus:




Arm yourselves. Penetrate these systems. Go on the offensive because nobody is going to do it for you.
