AFIS/ABIS for ePassports

In an effort to more accurately authenticate the identity of travelers and increase the convenience and flow of airport and border security while maintaining privacy and the highest level of security, many countries are adopting ePassport programs which are a combination of paper and electronic passports that contain biometric identification information stored on an embedded microchip. Designed to be non-traceable, these ePassports contain protection mechanisms to avoid hacking and nefarious attacks that could compromise the chip data and a traveler’s right to privacy during the transmission of identity information between the chip and a reader.

Crucial to the development of a safe, reliable and authentic ePassport program is the backend biometric identification database which determines the strength of a traveler’s identity and ultimately the reliability and integrity of the ePassport program. Implementing an ePassport program allows countries to drastically streamline trusted traveler screening at a high level of security and allocate more resources to verify the identities of unknown travelers. Even though most of these ePassport programs are voluntary opt-in, many travelers recognize the convenience inherent in using identity documents that are inherently more secure and offer a faster, more expedient way to move through airport security which is traditionally known for high traffic and frustrating delays.
