Biometric Boarding using Identity as a Service
Biometric Boarding using Identity as a Service
The white paper, written by Innovate Identity, examines the liability implications of recent and future trials between British Airways and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP), utilising their recently developed Identity as a Service solution, the Traveler Verification Service (TVS).
This automated biometric boarding system replaces the physical passport checks currently carried out by airline staff. This fundamentally changes the processes involved in identifying passengers immediately prior to the boarding the aircraft. The paper asks, what this will mean for the airline’s existing identity management responsibilities, and as a result, their future liabilities.
