SALT (Mobai et al.), exit report: Securing Digital Identities

The goals of the sandbox project

Based on Mobai’s use of artificial intelligence and encryption techniques, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority and Mobai have jointly identified two key areas that needs more in-depth legal consideration.

These issues are also considered relevant for other developers and enterprises wishing to use similar machine learning techniques and technologies.

  1. Assess the legal status of facial images and protected templates in an AI-based solution for verification.

Focus on legal status of facial images and protected templates, processing for a primary purpose of biometric verification and for secondary purposes.

  1. Assess the technical security measures for storing of protected templates to be used by the AI and facial images for training purposes

The design and use of technical security measures in the SALT-solution will partially depend on the results of discussions in #1.
