London 2012 – The First Biometric Olympic Games – deploying biometrics throughout the entire passenger journey –

“To collect accurate, verifiable and quality passenger data as early and as far from the border as possible.

And for this data to be continually reconciled and enriched throughout the passenger journey to

enhance border security and improve passenger facilitation.”

Intelligence-Based & Risk-Driven Approach to Border Security

Key Challenges – Extract from ABC Global Market Analysis (2012)

Key Challenges

Passenger Volumes – the number of passengers eligible to use an automated border control programme; the number of passengers opting to enrol in a fee-based scheme

Costs – particularly from a government perspective of deploying and maintaining the system, in a climate of economic austerity

Universal Implementation – international agreements, mutual recognition, interoperability, multiple biometrics, data privacy

Border Transformation & Change Management – API, iAPI, PNR, Visas, Entry/Exit, Warnings Index, Risk-Based Targeting etc.

Automated Border Control – European Economic Area (EEA) + Switzerland (CH)

Within the EU, the target population for Automated Border Control is principally adult EEA/CH passengers with valid e-Passports

With an ever-increasing number of passengers presenting e-Passports, there is a compelling business case for the deployment of e-Gates at key ports, airports and points of entry

Carriers, port operators and passengers must be engaged to raise awareness and drive adoption. Many eligible passengers are not aware of and do not use e-Gates

Extending the Eligible Population to Visa Holders

Where a biometric visa issuance process exists, there is a clear opportunity to extend the eligible population to include all holders of a valid biometric visa

The travel document in which the visa was issued serves as the token to retrieve the biometric data captured during the issuance process

Rather than the “default mode” of verifying the biometric data stored on the e-Passport, the verification process can generate a real-time interrogation of a Visa Information System (VIS)

Extending the Eligible Population to Residence Permit Holders

Where a biometric residency permit exists, there is another obvious opportunity to extend the eligible population to include all holders of a valid Residence Permit

Strengthen entry/exit control

UK IRIS: Enrolment for EEA/CH & Other Nationalities

© AUGMENTIQ 2012 | info@augmentiq.com | www.augmentiq.com #7

The first Automated Border Control system installed in the UK, in operation for ~7 years, now entering phased decommissioning

Registration for IRIS is no longer possible. And, as of late 2012, the system will only be available at London Heathrow T3 & T5

Beyond EEA/CH Nationals, as a voluntary enrolment scheme, IRIS was available to Permanent Residents, Frequent Short Term Visitors, Diplomats, Consular Officers, NATO Armed Forces Personnel (et al)

UK government remains committed to a long-term replacement that will allow specific groups of Non-EEA Nationals a differentiated means of passing the border …

Extending the Eligible Population to Third Country Nationals (TCNs)

Where well-established relationships exist with Third Countries, where robust measures are in place to secure the document issuance process, and/or where ABC/RTP Progammes exist in those countries, specific groups could benefit from and use Automated Border Controls

Either through bilateral agreements (e.g. NL/US FLUX) or through voluntary enrolment (e.g. UK IRIS), the eligible population can be rapidly extended to include key groups of Third Country Nationals

Transportation Workers ID Credential / Restricted Access ID Card

© AUGMENTIQ 2012 | info@augmentiq.com | www.augmentiq.com #9

Beyond the obvious benefits of developing a standard Transportation Workers Identification Credential / Restricted Access ID Card (e.g. common vetting standard, differentiated non-passenger security screening) holders of the card could also benefit from and use Automated Border Controls

While the population would be comparatively smaller in number (and many are likely to have an EU e-Passport), it nonetheless represents an additional target population of identifiable low-risk travellers to reduce demand on the manual controls at the border

Detect higher risk passengers, suspicious routes and patterns of behavior for risk-based screening

Data and intelligence which is valuable to border control is also valuable to aviation security

The Value of Data

Travel & Identity Document Data Residency Visa (where applicable) Current Residential Address Data Former Residential Address Data Contact Details (phone, e-mail etc.) Employment Data Employment History (past five years) Previous Violations – Immigration, Customs, Criminal Record etc. Additional Data Provisioning – Beyond API, iAPI, PNR & Biometrics Payment Data (e.g. credit card, bank details etc.) Statement of Agreement Acknowledgement of Terms & Conditions

Checkpoint of the Future – Additional (Enrolment) Data Requirements

#11

Regulatory Reform (Interior/Transport) Standardized Enrolment Requirements Eligibility Criteria Real-Time Data Analysis Issuance of Real-Time Screening Directives Data Capture & Document Authentication at Security Checkpoint

Where they exist, National Border Targeting Centers and/or Passenger Information Units are resourced for targeting and control; not enrolment and background verification procedures

CANADA – NEXUS/RAIC for the Trusted Traveller Security Line is an excellent example of how these challenges can be overcome

The Challenges of Combining Aviation Security & Automated Border Control

The Road Ahead – Driving Global Adoption of Automated Border Controls

© AUGMENTIQ 2012 | info@augmentiq.com | www.augmentiq.com #13

Demands on limited resources at the border and at the aviation security checkpoint will continue to increase

Passenger numbers will continue to rise A smart combination of biographic and biometric data will enable

effective targeting, automation, pre-clearance, expedited processing and improved passenger facilitation

Automated Border Control will need to become the default mode for controlling millions of passengers every year

A holistic view of the border and of the passenger journey demands joined up thinking and systems – from visa issuance, data analysis and risk assessment, to identity management, entry/exit controls to consistently delivering a positive passenger experience
