ABSTRACT From 2008 to 2017, the Israeli Ministry of Interior's attempts to create a national biometric identification system comprised of a digital database and ‘smart' national ID cards containing the index fingerprints and facial recognition data of all Israeli citizens and residents generated significant political debate. Usually, security is offered as a justification for biometric identification. In the Israeli debate, security was foundational to both claims for and against the system. Security is a major priority in Israel, and by putting it at the center of their arguments, opponents and proponents tried to lay claim to one of the most powerful legitimating tools in Israeli policymaking. They did so by articulating sociotechnical imaginaries of the system that both drew upon aspirations for security, yet offered contrasting visions of the biometric future. These imaginaries existed in a dialectical relationship; both sides used practices of imagining the future to influence the system's policy framework and technological design, and to contest the meaning of security itself by defining it and its relationship to biometric IDs and databases in different ways. Ultimately, the system's implementation in 2017 entailed a legislative and technological compromise that incorporated both sides’ visions of the future and definitions of security.

想象生物识别的未来:关于以色列国家生物识别的争论

摘要从2008年到2017年,以色列内政部试图创建由数字数据库和包含所有以色列公民和居民的索引指纹和面部识别数据的“智能”国民身份证组成的国家生物特征识别系统的尝试引起了广泛的政治辩论。通常,提供安全性作为生物识别的理由。在以色列的辩论中,安全是支持和反对该系统的基础。安全是以色列的主要优先事项,反对者和支持者将安全置于其论点的中心,力图使自己成为以色列决策中最强大的合法工具之一。他们通过阐明系统的社会技术想象力来做到这一点,两者都是出于对安全性的渴望,还提供了有关生物特征识别未来的不同见解。这些假想以辩证关系存在。双方都采用了设想未来的做法来影响系统的政策框架和技术设计,并通过以不同方式定义安全性及其与生物识别码和数据库的关系来挑战安全性本身的含义。最终,该系统于2017年实施,在立法和技术上做出了妥协,纳入了双方对未来的愿景和安全定义。并通过以不同方式定义安全性及其与生物特征ID和数据库的关系来争夺安全性本身的含义。最终,该系统于2017年实施,在立法和技术上做出了妥协,纳入了双方对未来的愿景和安全定义。并通过以不同方式定义安全性及其与生物特征ID和数据库的关系来争夺安全性本身的含义。最终,该系统于2017年实施,在立法和技术上做出了妥协,纳入了双方对未来的愿景和安全定义。
