The Canadian Passport Office is an example of a government agency leveraging Web services to exchange information in real-time to combat terrorism and other illicit uses of fraudulently obtained passports. 

The agency selected IT consulting firm Pentelar and Sybase, Inc. technologies to electronically authenticate identity document data through the use of Web services and ebXML.  Identification tasks performed across 10 provinces and three territories previously handled by physical document inspection, are now conducted in real-time with absolute security and reliability.

This session will discuss this successful pilot project and highlight the ebXML capabilities that enable the Canadian Passport Office to address real-time information exchange.
