description Various modern security systems follow a tendency to simplify the usage of the existing biometric recognition solutions and embed them into ubiquitous portable devices. In this work, we continue the investigation and development of our method for securing identification documents. The original facial biometric template, which is extracted from the trusted frontal face image, is stored on the identification document in a secured personalized machine-readable code. Such document is protected from face photo manipulation and may be validated with an offline mobile application. We apply automatic methods of compressing the developed face descriptors to make the biometric validation system more suitable for mobile applications. As an additional contribution, we introduce several print-capture datasets that may be used for training and evaluating similar systems for mobile identification and travel documents validation.
