  • Azara (Example Five)
    Sofia (example one) Baby Sofia was born in summer 2018 (after in vitro fertilisation) in Granada/Spain. Her parents are Kashka (Polish) and Sinead (Irish). The Spanish birth certificate identifies both of them as mother A and mother B. The family has been unable to return to Ireland since the birth because Ireland and Poland have denied Sofia citizenship. Ireland does not currently recognise the Irish woman as Sofia's mother and the Polish woman (birth mother) is not an Irish citizen. Poland refused because they do not recognise two mothers on a birth certificate, even though the birth mother is Polish. The couple has applied for Spanish citizenship for Sofia and are waiting to see if she will be accepted. Now, the child remains stateless and illegal in Spain, with no photo ID, she can’t access any public services, and is unable to travel anywhere with a hard border. You find more recent information about the case on the family’s blog. See also their ALL OUT petition. Lauge (example two) 4-year old Lauge born in late 2015 in Denmark. His mothers are Janet (Danish) and her former wife (Bulgarian). The Danish birth certificate states both mothers as legal parents. In January 2017, Lauges mothers got divorced, but continued to take care of their little boy. However, in the meantime, the Bulgarian (and biological) mother tried to get a Bulgarian passport for the child. At first, the Municipality of Pazardzhik refused to do it, because the country doesn’t recognise same-sex parenthood and couldn’t transcribe the Danish birth certificate.

  • Fingerprinting Passports
    Fingerprinting Passports Henning Richter1, Wojciech Mostowski2 ?, and Erik Poll2 1 Lausitz University of Applied Sciences, Senftenberg, Germany [email protected] 2 Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands {woj,erikpoll}@cs.ru.nl Abstract. Passports issued nowadays have an embedded RFID chip that carries digitally signed biometric information. Access to this chip is wireless, which introduces a security risk, in that an attacker could access a person’s passport without the owner knowing. While there are measures in place to prevent unauthorised access to the data in the passport, we show that it is easy to remotely detect the presence of a passport and determine its nationality. Although all passports implement the same international stan- dard, experiments with passports from ten different countries show that characteristics of each implementation provide a fingerprint that is unique to passports of a particular country. 1 Introduction Most passports issued nowadays are e-passports, and have an embedded RFID chip – effectively a contactless smartcard – that carries digitally signed biometric information. To prevent wireless reading of the passport content without the owner’s consent, passports can use a mechanism called Basic Access Control (BAC): to access the smartcard one must visually read some information printed in the passport. Sub- sequent communication between passport and reader is then encrypted to prevent eavesdropping. All EU passports implement BAC. Weaknesses in the encryption mechanism used in BAC have already been re- ported [2, 4]: for passports from several countries brute force attacks – which ex- haustively try all keys – are feasible. Root cause of this problem is that passport serial numbers are handed out in sequence, meaning that there is not enough entropy in the keys to prevent brute force attacks.
