identification number, address, etc. They provide basic information for identification and
verification of the holder's identity.
Biometric data: In addition to facial morphology, biometric data may include fingerprints, iris, or
voice characteristics. These data are used to perform accurate and reliable biometric verification
of the holder's identity.
QR code: A QR code is a type of two-dimensional barcode that stores information in a matrix of
dots. It can contain additional data related to the holder's identity, such as a unique identifier,
contact information, or links to online resources. The QR code can be easily scanned with a
compatible device to access the corresponding information.
In terms of security, these elements help strengthen authentication and identity verification.
Biometric and facial morphology data enable more accurate and difficult-to-counterfeit
verification as they are unique and challenging to replicate. The QR code can provide an
additional layer of verification by allowing the comparison of the information stored in the code
with the data presented by the holder.
