Abstract: A method of detecting fraud during identification by iris recognition, the method comprising the following steps: capturing an image of each eye of a person for identification (50), namely a first image (61) and a second image (71); extracting a first set of first characteristics from the first image (61); extracting a second set of second characteristics from the second image (71); evaluating a correlation coefficient between the first and second characteristics; and as a function of the value of the correlation coefficient, signaling an attempt at fraud or continuing with identification by eye recognition. An identification terminal arranged to perform the method.

Abstract: A chip card comprising a card made from a plastics material (1) capable of elastically withstanding a relative bending and in which a microelectronic data processing chip (4) is encased, a thin microelectronic wafer (5) made from a semiconductor material, such as a finger print sensor, additionally being joined to the card (1). Said wafer (5) is sub-divided into a small number of juxtaposed chips (7) disposed in a given pattern and separated from one another by a predetermined distance (d) which is sufficient for each separating strip (8) of plastics material to be slightly bent without causing adjacent chips (7) to become unstuck and/or rupture; electrical links are established between the chips to provide electrical continuity.
