Passenger Security - Overview

Security Opportunities

Steps to Realizing these Opportunities

Background : Airport IT Profile

Solution Characteristics (Key to success)

Solution Components

Passenger Security

Security Opportunities

– Terrorist Screening

– Passenger Validation

– Passenger Identification

Security Opportunities – Terrorist Screening

– Scanning and matching ALL faces is not possible Matching faces to a Known list is as follows:

– Approach Standard Collections Points with Camera Common server with existing LAN to store images

and execute comparison algorithm WAN for updates to target list

Security Opportunities – Terrorist Screening

Issues:– Logistics

Official Terrorist Comparison List Update and distribution methods No Challenge point

– Technical Considerations Positioning of cameras Trouble with Dark Skin and Facial Orientation Scalability ( how many faces?)

Security Opportunities

– Passenger Validation – Validate the person who checked in is the one transiting

the airport and boarding the plane

– Approach: Capture a biometric and a search key during Checkin Challenge point is Checkin Agent dependent Store data to a Common Server or encoded on

Boarding Pass. Check biometric at Security & Gate during boarding

Security Opportunities – Passenger Validation

Issues:– Logistics

Public acceptance to Biometrics capture Only requires “VALID ID”

– Technical Considerations ATB encoded Images are low quality No Standard Quiet Zone on ATB for Barcode Security Checkpoint Must support all airlines

Security Opportunities

– Passenger Identification– Issue Travel Cards with Multiple Biometric signatures

– Approach: Pre-screen all bio card holders Challenge Point is a Government Agency Opportunity to expedited checkin and boarding

process Utilize Security Staff to focus on Non-Bio card

holders

Security Opportunities

– Passenger Identification Issues:

– Public acceptance and Cost of cards– Issuance authority

Technology Considerations – Use Smart Cards with Digital Certs to secure data– Flexible: Can hold numerous Biometrics – Can store Airline frequent flier data– Potential to significantly expedite travel

Realizing the Opportunity – Airport IT Profile

IT responsibility is spread amongst numerous group, departments and companies

Lack of cohesive planning– Isolated Networks

different manufactures varying CORE Capabilities of Networks single purpose equipment

Characteristics of the successful Security Solution

Consistency of Operation– High Availability and accuracy

– Baseline of uniformity across airports

Scalable Components – Must address Tier 1-4 airports

– Potential for off-airport use

Ability to Leverage existing Infrastructure

Characteristics of the Successful Solution

Ability to Accommodate Diverse requirements

– Local Laws or Physical constraints – Various Input devices or screening methods

Capability to Share data – Locally within airport systems– Centrally / Globally interchange
