Airport Biometrics: A Primer
This report defines and describes the landscape of biometric processes and applications for airports and their respective stakeholders. The primer includes benefits and considerations of implementing biometrics in an airport environment and addresses many elements, including broad educational information on types and applications of biometrics and the benefits and challenges of applications beyond the government-mandated biometric entry/exit program. It discusses facial recognition biometrics, including opportunities for and benefits to the airport, and jurisdictional issues related to governmental requirements, statutory authorities, and commercial interests. There is a section on legal and privacy implications, along with industry- and government-driven initiatives, system design options, and interoperability at all identification points in the passenger journey and airport employee processing, as well as considerations for planning and implementation and future trends in the use of biometrics at airports. This report presents solutions and additional suggestions for the growth of this technology and addresses safe airport operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
