Biometric personal data makes us unique and sets us apart from others. Biometrics personal data represent the highest level of identity verification, yet at the same time, pose a significant challenge in terms of personal data protection.
Since Slovenia is introducing a biometric identity card in 2022, we want to analyze three aspects. First, its conduct, second, how it could be used, and finally, how already existing solutions are used in certain countries worldwide. We want to present the extent of introducing new identity cards to which Slovenes are in favor. We assume that the main reason for distrust in biometric data security and the latest technology brought in the field of biometric identity cards is poor people's awareness of this issue.
The primary methodology in this diploma is the method of description, which deals with the basis of professional literature online and legal sources. The diploma thesis describes the types of biometric identifications used around the world in more detail. Later on, we describe how the introduction of a biometric identity card affects everyday life in countries where such an identity card was introduced before Slovenia
Our empirical research results from qualitative survey data show that the security of an individual's biometric identity card is crucial for introducing a new biometric identity card so that it doesn't get misused or misunderstood. For Slovenes to be more prepared for introducing a new biometric identity card, it would be necessary to present to the population the advantages of it and the goals we want to achieve with the new identity card. Introducing should be made highly conscientiously and in a way that would be understandable to all.
