Airport Security Overview Solution Dependencies Politics ….???? Funding…!!!! Operational Practicality and Cost

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

Solution Components Standard Data collection/retrieval points Common Secure Transit Network Interoperable Data Repository Adaptable logic / rules based

Solution Components Data collection/retrieval points IATA RP 1797 (Common Use Terminal Equipment) Standard PC with Serial or USB interfaces Accommodates various biometrics Customer facing at Checkin/Gates Multi-user, Multi-functional terminals Inherent Lan/Wan connectivity

Client Hardware CAMERA MSR /LSR Turnstile Finger Print ATB Printer BTP Printer Gate Reader Document Printer

Solution Components Common Transit Network Must be SECURE and RELIABLE Provide Global Presence Internet Like Service IP protocols only Any to Any or Controlled connectivity
