2 ABOUT THE 5TH BMIC The 5th and Identity Conference on Technical Cooperation & Capacity Building (5th BMIC) is organised by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and APSCA and supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand. It will be held on December 2018 in Bangkok at AVANI Riverside Bangkok Hotel. This international event is the largest gathering of National Government Authorities including Immigration, Identity, Border Control, Civil Registration, Customs, population management and other agencies with responsibilities in the area of Border and Identity Management in Asia. The objective of the 5th BMIC is to improve border and identity management in the APAC region through closer consultation and cooperation between national authorities responsible for border control, national identity and their key international partner organisations. New Ways to Manage Customers Rapid changes together with increasing volume and frequency of cross border movements and migration present significant challenges for government authorities responsible for border management and identity. Government authorities adapting to these changes in customer flows and the services that they need to deliver to travelers, citizens, migrants or refugees are being offered an increasing variety of innovative solutions and new approaches to the challenges of border and identity management. KEY FOCUS Mobile Solutions for Automated Border Control Systems Securing the Entire Identity Trust Chain Solving the Challenges of Breeder Documents Data Privacy & Personally Identifiable Information Collection of Non-Sensitive Data Attributes Identity Management and Traveler Facilitation Self-Sovereign Data Applications for BMIS Biometric Capture and Registration Systems Secure ID Documents and Mobile Applications These Alternative Approaches to Border and Identity Management, whether based on new technologies or new thinking, will need to be integrated with existing border management and identity information systems, processes and infrastructure. Information Systems (BMIS) Decentralized Approaches to Blockchain Solutions for One Person - One Identity International Standards PG1

3 CONFERENCE S FOCUS EXPANDED FOCUS ON IDENTITY MANAGEMENT In such a fluid and rapidly-changing scenario, effective identity management is crucial when attempting to facilitate the legitimate movement of people and goods while maintaining secure borders. In fact, while border control measures tend to focus on enforcing migration laws, effective identity governance goes beyond borders and aims to provide a fundamental status for individuals moving across borders, creating a robust link between the individual and its legally registered identity, contributing to a more effective implementation of security policies, strategies and responses. A pivotal element of an effective identity management strategy, lies in the capacities of the Government to improve the quality and the accuracy of the biometrics collected from individuals and in making registration as well as verification secure, fast and reliable. The 5th and Identity Conference will ensure a fertile platform to explore and discuss these issues from the perspective of government authorities and their partners in the international organisations. These Alternative Approaches to and Identity, whether based on new technologies or new thinking, will need to be integrated with existing border management and identity information systems, processes and infrastructure. KEY FOCUS Mobile Solutions for Securing the Entire Identity Trust Chain Data Privacy & Personally Identifiable Information Identity Management and Traveler Facilitation Biometric Capture and Registration Systems Automated Border Control Systems Solving the Challenges of Breeder Documents Collection of Non-Sensitive Data Attributes Self-Sovereign Data Applications for BMIS Secure ID Documents and Mobile Applications Information Systems (BMIS) Decentralized Approaches to Blockchain Solutions for One Person - One Identity International Standards PG2

4 7Breeder THE CONFERENCE WILL EXPLORE 1The Blockchain has been proposed as a decentralized approach to trusted and secure management of identity data and transactions for border and identity management. 4 Increasingly stringent data privacy requirements for personally identifiable information [PII], such as biographical and biometric data, are also driving new approaches to identity data and transactions. documents have long been considered the ideal method of establishing original identity but today the goal of absolute and static identity is changing to a new approach of relative and dynamically changing identities. 2The conference will evaluate distributed ledger and other innovative approaches to managing identities with the objective of providing enhanced trust and control over legacy approaches. 3 Decentralized Blockchains suggest new ways to collect, manage and use data, such as self-sovereign identity data owned by travellers and citizens, with certificates verifying the data being stored in a distributed ledger. 5 A big data approach to border and identity management involves collecting additional non-sensitive data attributes that provide additional information to identity authorities or enhanced decision-making processes. 6If identity authorities can legally collect non-sensitive data attributes, then this additional information might be used to enhance decision-making processes but it should not be possible to link this additional information to PII. 8Ensuring end-to-end trust in identities and identity credentials may become less of a binary concept and more of an ongoing process of establishing evidence of identity based on an increasing volume of data. 9 New concepts such as self-sovereign data are being made possible by mobile devices that cannot only store identity data but verify citizens and travellers through biometrics. These are just a few of the concepts that will be explored through the conference. PG3

5 LEADING IN EXCELLENCE SINCE participants 42 Markets 50% Government Agencies & International Organisations International Organizations that have supported as partners include: WHAT CUSTOMERS SAID ABOUT THE 4TH CONFERENCE This conference was excellent! In being responsible for the developments of border management in my country, all ideas raised during the conference were beneficial to us. I wish to see how we should agree on the initiative of One Person - One Identity in the near future. Po. Maj. Gen. Huort Sophally, Director, International Cooperation Department National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD), Cambodia The conference was very useful. It shared a lot of knowledge on border management and the use of information technology in other countries. The knowledge gained from this conference has provided us with ideas and methods by which these ideas can be implement in my country. Htay Hlaing, Deputy DG, Ministry of Immigration and Population, Myanmar The host and organiser did an exemplary job! The conference provided updates on the current situation related to border management and today s advancement of its related technology. I was especially interested in the exhibits which showcased current trends in technology which will help facilitate planning of my agency s short-term business plan. I hope, in the near future my country will start sharing data with the international communities and establish smooth cooperation with relevant government agencies and international organizations. Ganbold Ganbat, Officer, Mongolia Immigration Agency PG4

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using distributed ledgers to record their identity data and events? How can a blockchain ensure that all authorities have a single view of the customer: One Person- One Identity? What are some new approaches to collecting biographical and biometric data? What other non-sensitive data attributes can identity authorities legally collect and use to enhance decision-making? How could self-sovereign personally identifiable information (PII) be legally used in border management and identity systems [BMIS]? To what extent can the entire identity chain be secured? How do we reliably determine original identities? Is it possible to solve the breeder document problem? Has Evidence of Identity now superseded absolute identity? How can we reliably end biographical and biometric identities to ensure that they are not stolen and reused?. How can mobile devices used by customers and identity authorities enhance identity and border management? Will smartphone-based applications offer better services to customers and protect personally identifiable information? What types of mobile solutions assist government in delivering increased security with improved convenience? PG7
