HID, a pioneer in trusted identity and physical security solutions, and iPassport, a provider of solutions that enable organisations to implement digital identity technologies, recently signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on a new identity verification solution for the transportation industry.
This solution will make its debut at the Passenger Terminal Expo 2023, from March 14-16, 2023, at HID Booth #1244.
Need for swift identity verification
Navigating through the airport requires a sequence of touchpoints and processes from check-in to baggage drop, security checkpoint, all the way to retail/duty-free shopping, lounge access, and boarding.
And with millions of travellers experiencing delays, cancellations, baggage mix-ups, and the continued strain on airport staff, the passenger journey has become more complex than ever. Airlines need reliable and swift identity verification to provide passengers with a secure, seamless journey that’s long overdue.
Efficiency optimisation
HID is excited to collaborate with iPassport to bring this new solution to market"
“Today, moving through an airport securely requires an ongoing and seamless identity verification system that not only enhances the passenger experience but also optimises efficiencies for everyone."
"HID is excited to collaborate with iPassport to bring this new solution to market,” says Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director of Biometrics, Extended Access Technologies at HID.
Modular approach
With HID’s modular approach, airlines and airport operators can add identity verification capabilities quickly and easily to existing systems without having to “rip-and-replace" or perform expensive migrations to a new platform altogether.
This modular solution includes the following components:
- Facial Recognition Camera Hardware.
- Fingerprint, ID Document & Ticket Readers.
- Software Development Kits (SDKs).
- ID Proofing & Biometric Server.
- Device Management.
- Biometric Professional Services.
Multispectral imaging (MSI) technology
The use of facial recognition technology throughout the airport will depend on the passenger’s prior consent
With HID-patented multispectral imaging (MSI) technology and ethically trained artificial intelligence (AI) built within the HID® U.ARE.U® Camera Identification System, significant performance and matching accuracy is achieved.
The use of facial recognition technology throughout the airport will depend on the passenger’s prior consent during booking or check-in. Additionally, the biometric information is only stored and used during the time the passenger is in transit within the airport to help address compliance with applicable data privacy laws.
Applications
Beyond airlines and airports, other segments of the travel industry, such as cruise ships and hospitality, can also benefit from:
- Ethically trained and built AI to eliminate matching bias.
- Industry-leading presentation attack detection (PAD) to thwart spoof attempts.
- Superior performance amid challenging lighting.
- Automatic face detection, capture, and image quality checks even when wearing masks.
- On-device biometric processing with endpoint security for maximum protection.
