Rostec and Rostelecom robotize MFC

2019: The beginning of production of a batch of cryptobiocabins for MFC

On October 18, 2019 Rostec reported to TAdviser that the Avtomatika Concern started production of a batch of cryptobiocabins which will allow to automate issue of international passports in MFC. According to the order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 988-r of 5/20/2019 Rostelecom it is appointed the uniform supplier of the solution and services for MFC.

The Kriptobiokabina software and hardware complex is the device in the uniform protected body with preset general-system and the application software, including information security tools. KBK registers biometric parameters and activates the made foreign passport of the last generation on the basis of results of two-factor biometric verification of the applicant.

Pilot equipment of the multifunction centers cryptobiocabins began summer of 2019. Devices appeared in Moscow, Moscow area, Tula and Krasnodar. According to the results of trial operation of a cabin in the system of issue of passports we objectively defined possibilities of the equipment, took into account comments and offers of all concerned parties. Changes were made to design documentation according to which production models are produced. Anti-vandal protection is strengthened, lighting is optimized, cable infrastructure was updated, told the chief executive of Rostec Oleg Yevtushenko

The functionality of a cryptobiocabin allows to register biometric parameters of the applicant: image of the person and fingerprints. Scanning of identity documents, is executed in two ranges at once – visible and ultra-violet.

Kriptobiokabina is a digital solution for independent delivery by the citizen of biometric data with reliable cryptographic protection. Without queues and at any convenient time. The task of Rostelecom is in integrating KBK into the IT system of issue of international passports existing many years with biometric data. The company will deliver, activation, testing, ensuring the current operation and support, providing data transmission channels and integration into the existing IT solutions. All this is necessary to ensure functioning of the terminal equipment in the form of cryptobiocabins, noted the senior vice president of Rostelecom Vladimir Kiriyenko

The prototype of a cryptobiocabin was for the first time provided in 2018. Since then a lot of work on replacement of imported components by domestic was carried out. For example, the fingerprint scanner, the camera, the system of shadowless lighting and also the device combining the scanner of a MRZ line (a machine-readable zone) and the reader of chips of passports of the last generation were replaced with the last models of domestic production that allowed to reduce document creation time significantly. Besides, the serial KBK version differs in advanced design and ergonomics. In particular, the cabin is equipped with the comfortable seat more convenient there was an arrangement of the scanner of documents and touch screens.

During trial operation the staff of MFC highly appreciated a cryptobiocabin. The citizens who used a complex also were satisfied with ergonomics and functionality of KBK. Biometric technologies – the perspective direction to which the Avtomatika concern pays special attention. Respectively, the solutions implemented in KBK can be adapted for any needs of the customer for a number of automated systems in which this technology is used, commented the CEO of Avtomatika concern Vladimir Kabanov
