In the last few years, the debate between data privacy and lawful interception (LI) has evolved into a more constructive discussion. While police and judicial authorities acting within their power can be prevented from accessing digital evidence by modern privacy-enhancing technologies like end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and Rich Communication Services (RCS) systems, different international initiatives are calling for a balanced approach

This report provides a review of the progress achieved by the EU Innovation Hub for Internal Security in 2022. The report was prepared by the Innovation Hub Team and provides a retrospective on the achievements of 2022. As in previous years, eu-LISA has been an active contributor to the Hub’s activities throughout 2022 and is still the only EU Agency

Even though some initial works have shown, on small sets of data, that not all fingerprints present the same level of utility for recognition purposes, there is still insufficient data-supported evidence to understand the impact that finger type may have on fingerprint quality and, in turn, also on fingerprint comparison. The present work addresses this still under-researched topic, on a

With seamless travel, people will no longer need to present IDs or other travel-related documents multiple times at different checkpoints during their journey. The EU is in the process of digitalising its border management requirements and procedures to deliver a seamless experience for travellers headed to the Schengen Area. The factsheet provides an overview of current and future digital landscape

This research monitoring report provides an overview how the main developments in international travel can support a more seamless and contactless travel experience. EU regulations, travel industry practices, and new technological solutions can support the alignment of the travel facilitation and security objectives at all steps of the traveller journey, from the application for a visa or a travel authorisation

On 13-14 September 2022, the EU Innovation Hub for Internal Security held its Annual Event in Brussels. Under the theme “Shaping responsible solutions for internal security”, the event focused on the need to develop effective security solutions while at the same time meeting citizens’ expectations in terms of privacy, transparency and accountability. The discussions focused on encryption and AI (the

Over the past few years, significant groundwork has been done by both Eurojust and eu-LISA, as well as the European Commission to speed-up digital transformation and the adoption of IT solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of Justice and Home Affairs (JHA).

This research and technology monitoring report provides a high-level overview of the recent developments in artificial intelligence and their relevance to the core business of eu-LISA. The focus of this report is explicitly on the possibilities for application of artificial intelligence technologies in the context of eu-LISA business processes (the operational management of large-scale IT systems). In particular, areas of
