Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of the present-day process of remote identification. On this basis, the most important weaknesses of the methods were diagnosed. With regard to non-biometric methods, the main weakness and limitation is that they only verify if the user (the person being verified) has appropriate credentials, and they do not verify the identity per se. On the other hand, the currently applied biometric methods are time-consuming and subjective in assessing the compliance of biometric data with the template. An alternative to these methods is a model, presented in this paper, which is based on fully automated, remote biometric identification using biometric data contained in IDs and passports as a template. The model is free from the weaknesses and limitations of other biometric and non-biometric identification methods analysed in this paper and has a very low error rate.
