The presentation will discuss an innovative Horizon Europe ID project to improve security through a portfolio of linked high-TRL solutions, currently at two-thirds of its three-year activity. Einstein aims to deliver six applications essential to fight identity fraud across the entire ID management domain: online ID issuance with real-time biometric quality checks and fraud detection; mobile document and identity checks using smartphones; advanced document authentication module; pre-registration for biometric land-border crossing; EES kiosk with advanced fraud detection; automatic multibiometric walk-through corridor. High-TRL products are being qualified through iterative field tests by the consortium's border forces representatives.

• Pre-agreed use case KPIs converged through iterative test processes to high operational product TRLs, as rated by border forces during field tests
• Ensuring high TRLs for product solutions ultimately means delivering a better service to travelers while also meeting border force requirements
• The entire portfolio of Einstein's apps benefitted from the iterative performance field border forces evaluation, ultimately leading to high TRLs
• Privacy-by-design of all solutions with national and European legislation (including AI Act) on data protection is key to ensure field acceptance
• Future evolution of such European innovation projects must also comply with future breakthroughs in AI technologies for legal and societal boundaries
