Avalon is a STORK industry member

Thursday, 31 March 2011

In March 2011, Avalon joined the STORK industry Group as an industry member.

The aim of the STORK project is to establish a European eID Interoperability Platform that will allow citizens to establish new e-relations across borders, just by presenting their national eID.

Cross-border user authentication for such e-relations will be applied and tested by the project by means of five pilot projects that will use existing government services in EU Member States. In time however, additional service providers will also become connected to the platform thereby increasing the number of cross-border services available to European users.

Due to its experience in border control and document authentication Avalon Biometrics has a high interest in being part of projects like STORK that pave the way for a more secure, free and open European Union fully leveraging the eID potential and providing a new platform for national security systems to thrive upon.
