Can an unauthorised person access my biometric information?

Under the NIDS, for security reasons, the biometric data will be encrypted and stored offline and separately from the biographic data. This “security by design” feature is essential for the minimisation of risks. Even if an unauthorised individual managed to gain access to the biometric data media, no biographic data could be obtained from it in its encrypted form and it would be difficult to link the data to a specific person. Furthermore, biometric data will not be accessible online.
