Plan to collect biometrics from citizens via phones
On September 2, 2021, it became known that the Ministry of Digital Affairs will conduct an experiment on the surrender of personal data by citizens independently through a mobile application on a phone. A list of electronic services and digital services will be available to Russians who will voluntarily hand over images of their face to the department, as well as voice parameters. The experiment will be conducted from October 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022. Information about this is posted on regulation.gov.ru - the draft of the corresponding government decree was published on it on September 1, 2021.
According to the text of the document, the experiment is carried out with the aim of checking the mechanism of independent placement by Russians of their personal data through the application, as well as to increase the efficiency of remote services for citizens by government agencies, banks and other organizations. This, among other things, will allow assessing the technical and functional capabilities of the operator of the unified biometric system (EBS), which will process the data.
According to representatives of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the experiment will be attended by Russians, the EBS operator, the Moscow metro, higher educational institutions, banks, telecom operators and other legal entities who agree to participate in the experiment.
To participate in the experiment, citizens must download the Biometrics application and log in to it using a confirmed account in the Unified Identification and Authentication System (ESIA) on the public services portal, the Ministry of Finance explained. You can install the app on your mobile phone or tablet. Next, the user agrees to collect and process data in the ECIA, after which an encryption key is formed to protect the channel, and the application can begin collecting photos and recording voice.
After that, the information system checks the biometric samples with the data contained in the biometric foreign passport, and also checks their quality. If a mismatch is detected during the check, the data is not placed in the system, which the user receives a notification to the mail or phone.
If the data have passed the test, then a citizen will be able to take a session at an educational institution remotely, use remote banking service and accelerated service in bank branches, make biometric payments (up to 1000 rubles), pay for metro travel, conclude an online communication agreement and pass to the territory of organizations and facilities that joined the experiment.
Mintsifra makes an experiment according to the offer of FSB, representatives of department specify. Earlier, for independent registration by citizens of their biometrics, a draft federal law was developed on amendments to the law "On Information, Information Technologies and on the Protection of Information."
The document was not supported by the FSB. The bill requires more detailed study from a technical point of view, explained in the department. In addition, it is necessary to work out threat models before its adoption[1].
Implementation of the biometric impression remote delivery function
At the end of March 2021, it became known that the Biometrics application will receive the function of remote delivery of biometric casts (facial images and voice samples). Previously, this could be done only in a bank or MFC.
 | High-risk services that can now be obtained through the application by passing biometrics to the bank - opening an account, deposit, making a loan - will be unavailable by self-registration, the To sheets representative said.Rostelecom |  |
He did not specify the services that will be available when submitting biometrics to the Unified Biometric System through the application. The list of services will be determined by a separate regulatory act, noted in Rostelecom.
The Ministry of Digital Affairs said that biometric identification technologies will simplify the receipt of various services.
A single biometric system can be used for remote examination, for passing transport control at airports, to confirm the right to free travel by public transport or to pay for travel, the ministry added.
By February 2021, 164 thousand Russians passed their biometric data to the EBS. The Ministry of Digital Affairs plans to increase the number of biometric casts of citizens in the EBS to 70 million by the end of 2022.
According to Izvestia, by the end of March 2021, Rostelecom is developing a cryptographic module that will be used to protect biometric data of Russians from leaks. The decision will be ready by the end of 2021.
The technology will allow banks to secure the communication channel through which customer biometric data is transmitted. The module protects biometrics from leakage and substitution during data transfer. In addition, he checks whether an attempt was made to hack an application or pass identification instead of a user.[2]

Using the Biometrics mobile application, the user can record a short video (looking at the camera to name a certain sequence of digits) and send a record over a secure communication channel for comparison with a template that is stored in the Unified Biometric System. If the system has identified a person with a probability above 99.99%, the application will report a successful check, and the user will have access to financial services.
The application allows you to online check the status of biometrics, as well as find the nearest department for registration, if the user has not yet created a digital image.
