Abstract

Canadian Passport Office takes a giant leap forward to address the issue of identity theft and the subsequent illegal use of fraudulently obtained passports. Elevating the use of Web services to address PPT's efforts to combat terrorism -- tasks that were previously performed manually across 10 provinces and 3 territories -- will now be completed in real-time. With a successful pilot project with the province of British Columbia, Pentelar, Inc. and Canadian PassPort Office demonstrated electronic authentication of birth certificates in real-time through Web services and ebXML.

This session highlights the relevant issues associated with the project as well as ebXML's capabilities to address real-time information exchange. Presented will be the business and technical aspects of this innovative and successful project.
