Mika Hansson | Senior Adviser
National Police Board

I have a very broad experience of 29 years in the field of identity management and in particular travel documents. For 13 years I have been involved in the development of passport and ID card chips, but at the same time I was involved in everything related to the development and production of travel documents. As a cryptography expert, the development, testing and management of security solutions was an important part of my job. Over the last 16 years, I have worked in the police service in various organisations in a wide range of roles related to the issuing of travel documents. I have worked in
EU Article 6 Committee since 2008 and ICAO NTWG since 2010. I have been actively involved in the development of national and EU legislation and ICAO specifications on travel documents.
