Protecting the Australian passport by developing face recognition training programs that effectively integrate human operators and machine systems. The security of the Australian passport is vital to the fight against crime and terrorism. This project will help detect identity fraud in passport applications by developing training programs drawing on the psychology of face processing to optimally combine human decision making with machine face recognition systems to maximise fraud detection.
Detecting identity fraud in passport applications: Improving human operator performance through better understanding of unfamiliar face processing. The passport is a vital link in the defence of Australia against terrorism and crime. In this project researchers will work with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to improve the ability of staff to detect identity fraud in passport applications, thus helping to protect the integrity of the Australian passport as a trusted identity document.
Exposing the anonymous attacker: detecting identity crimes using real-time entity resolution on large dynamic databases. Given the increasingly large costs of identity crimes in Australia, developing improved electronic identity verification techniques is highly significant in reducing losses from such crimes, making the Australian economy more competitive, and increasing consumer confidence in Australian financial institutions.

Given the increasingly large costs of identity crimes in Australia, developing improved electronic identity verification techniques is highly significant in reducing losses from such crimes, making the Australian economy more competitive, and increasing consumer confidence in Australian financial institutions. Veda Advantage is widely used for identity verification by Australian financial service providers, so the benefits of the techniques developed in this project will automatically flow through to the Australian community. These techniques will be sufficiently generic to be of use for real-time identity verification in a broad range of applications, including e-Government portals, electronic banking, online stores, or national security systems.Read moreRead less
