Benefits of technology
Enables quick and cost-effective validation of multiple tokens, preventing fraudulent use by providing a continuous and secure authentication process that is not dependent on continuous network connectivity, thus enhancing security and reducing complexity.
Problems solved by technology
Due to the value of the Identification Data, identification Tokens have become a major target of fraudulent attacks.
For example, an authentic Token of a valid Owner may be used in a fraudulent way by replacing the visible Identification Data displayed on the Token by falsified Identification Data of a false Owner.
Furthermore, a fraudulent Token may be manufactured containing falsified Identification Data.
However, these visible security measures have shown to be relatively ineffective to prevent fraudulent use of a Token.
Therefore, recognizing an invalid Token by a visible inspection using the visible security items may become extremely difficult or burdensome especially in the case where a large number of Tokens need to be validated and thus also authenticated.
However, such an approach may be difficult to implement in the case where a larger number of Tokens need to be validated, for example, when desiring to verify the Tokens of a crowd of people working in a building or the Tokens of cars driving around a city.
However, a disadvantage of this solution is that the maintenance of such wireless connection requires relatively complicated networks and electronic badges.
A further disadvantage of this solution, is that validation of the security badge may only be performed while the badge is connected to the wireless network.
Therefore, in the case where the network is not available, or the wireless connection is interrupted such a validation procedure cannot be carried out.
Moreover, in the case where the invalid badge is not arranged to be connected to the wireless connection once present in a building area, the security facility may remain unaware of the presence of such an invalid badge.

Embodiment Construction
[0030]Protecting Identification Data against identity fraud has become a major challenge for governmental and private organisations alike. However, an even greater challenge is authenticating and / or validating that the Token and the Information Data stored therein are authentic, valid and have been issued by a Trust Authority. A Trust Authority may be a private or a governmental organisation having the right to issue such a Token, for example a company may issue security badges to the employees of the company. A Token may be provided to be carried around before Validation like for example a badge, an e-passport, an identity card, or any other means used for identification purposes that are suitable to be carried around by the Owner. The format of the Token in such case can be adapted to the provision that it is carried around, for example the Token can have the typical dimensions of a credit / debit card and thus is for example provided to be carried around in a badge holder.

An Identification Device (10) for providing validation information comprising:a Token (11) anda Validator (20);wherein the display (17) is adapted to display, during an Operational Phase, a first security code (15), referred to as the Indicator-of-Clearance code or IoC code (15), indicating the Clearance Status (46) of the Token, whereby the first security code (15) is generated by an Indicator-of-Clearance Function (23), such as a digital signature or hash function, programmed on the processor unit (21) based on the Clearance Status (46) and the Validator Clock (28).
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to the field of identity fraud protection and more specifically to a system and a method for validating the validity of the identification data displayed on and / or stored in an electronic identification Token, and thus determining if clearance can be given to the Token while preventing fraudulent use.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Electronic identification Tokens, such as e-identification (e-ID) cards, security badges or e-passports, are commonly used for security and identification purposes of the owner of the Token. The owner of the Token, referred to hereinafter as the Owner, may include a person or an object carrying a Token and being uniquely identified by the information stored in or displayed on the Token. Such electronic identification Tokens may include an electronic chip having a memory adapted to store Identification Data (ID) to uniquely identify the Token Owner. For example such Identification Data may include for a person as Owne...
