Horizon Project OnMoveID: Technical Background of Schengen Border Crossing Automation

The OnMoveID project aims to replace Schengen border control stationary checks with "move-through" verification for land, sea, and air borders. By using extended European Digital Identity (EUDI) wallets and standard smartphones, the project seeks to increase traveler throughput while enhancing security. This paper examines two critical components of the project’s Work Package 7: the development of robust biometric recognition algorithms and the implementation of advanced attack detection mechanisms. These tasks address the technical challenges of performing high-assurance identity verification on non-trusted mobile devices in uncontrolled environments.
