Today, digitalization is an integral part of integrated development projects for Russian cities. Modern technologies are the key driver for creating a comfortable and safe environment for city residents. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of Staff of the Government Dmitry Grigorenko at the All-Russian Forum “Development of Small Towns and Historical Settlements”.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that artificial intelligence, traffic management systems, digital government services, and biometric technologies are becoming tools for integrated territorial development. Thus, in the Republic of Tatarstan, a secure access service to schools using biometrics is being tested. It will become an alternative to cards and passes. Special equipment has already been installed in 20 pilot schools in the region.
"As with any other services, the use of biometrics to enter educational institutions is strictly voluntary. Students and their parents will decide for themselves whether to connect such a service. The new technology is replacing cards and passes. Unlike a pass, it cannot be lost or given to a stranger. This means that the perimeter of the educational institution becomes even safer, monitoring of attendance is simplified, and parents will always know for sure that their child is at school," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
The service is based on Russian software and hardware solutions. All devices installed in schools are certified and approved for use by industry regulators.
The service is implemented on the basis of a single biometric system. This is a state information platform, with the help of which various services are provided. Among them are contactless payment for purchases, travel on public transport, remote opening of a business, service at the MFC, check-in to a hotel without a passport and a number of others.
Each user of the system independently manages their data. On the public services portal, you can check the validity period of biometrics or revoke consent to its processing. Biometric samples are stored in encrypted form separately from other personal data and never leave the system perimeter.
