“For that, we signed an MoU with Idemia Group to develop a safe biometric identification system using facial recognition, fingerprints and iris scan for security and civil use. This will enable us to secure elections and rigging,’’ Fathi said in the tweet cited by Libya Herald. The Libya deal adds to Idemia’s long list of partnerships with African governments and organisations to help them develop and strengthen trusted digital ID systems. In August this year, the French firm engaged with the League of Arab States’ Council of Economic Unity to assist the 14 member-states in their digital transformation efforts using digital ID solutions and biometrics.
