It has been almost a decade since the launch of smart identity (ID) cards in June 2003. Some members of the public have pointed out that with the advancement in technology, the encryption and anti-forgery technologies adopted for smart ID cards have become outdated. They are concerned that the personal data of members of the public might be leaked.
Moreover, a total of some 400 forged smart ID cards were seized by the authorities in 2011 and 2012, reflecting that the risk of smart ID cards being forged by law-breakers should not be overlooked.In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:
(a) whether the authorities have conducted any review on the use of smart ID cards, including the quality of the materials, security features of the computer chip, as well as the development and application of other functions, etc.; if they have, of the outcome; whether the authorities have kept abreast of more advanced technology so as to improve the current design of smart ID cards; if they have, of the details; and
(b) given that for those persons who were issued smart ID cards in the early stage, their photos on the ID cards may look significantly different from their facial appearances at present, whether the authorities have plans to arrange for replacing the ID cards of members of the public by second generation smart ID cards in order to update their photos thereon, so that smart ID cards can effectively serve their functions as identification and travel documents; if they have, of the implementation timetable and progress of the preparation work?
The existing smart identity card has a number of anti-forgery features, such as optical variable ink, multiple laser image, kineprint with colour-changing images when viewed at different angles, and high-quality laser engraved photograph on the polycarbonate card body, all of which make it difficult to alter or counterfeit the card.The chip of the smart identity card is made of durable alloy and is designed with a number of security measures that could effectively prevent various forms of intrusion.Moreover, the chip is designed with segregated compartments to separate immigration applications from other value-added non-immigration functions and access to chip data is protected by various security controls.
