Key Border Security Challenges

• Growing volumes of international travellers

• Travel Document fraud forged, counterfeit, stolen

• Time pressures queues at checkpoints

• Information overload

• Budget constraints

• Integrity issues

• and more…

Primary Areas where Biometrics can Assist

Linking Traveller to Travel Documents

• Authorised holder of Travel Document?

• Multiple Travel Documents for this Traveller?

Confirming identity of Traveller before granting entry

• Do they hold a visa?

• Do they represent a potential risk?

• Are they a known person of interest?

Confirming identity of Traveller before permitting exit

• Are they a known person of interest?

Changing Mission Requirements

People trafficking is the fastest growing means by which people are enslaved, the fastest growing international crime, and one of the largest sources of income for organised crime.

UN Office on Drugs & Crime

We want the travelling experience of the future to be fast and seamless for legitimate travellers — a low-touch experience beyond traditional barriers.

Australian foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq pose a serious national security threat to Australia.

Lowy Institute

MORE than 1000 suspected Australian passport fraud cases have been investigated in the past three years and about 100 fake passports have been seized. Tens of thousands Australian travel documents are reported lost or stolen every year.

Melbourne Herald Sun

Even Singapore has confirmed that a handful of its citizens are engaged with extremist groups, with Interior Minister Teo Chee Hean stating that at least two Singaporeans are known to be fighting in Syria.

Public Acceptance

95% of Australians surveyed support the expanded use of biometrics by customs and immigration staff to identify passengers on watch lists.

Unisys Security Index Research

“Fingerprint sensors will become standard in most high-end smart mobile devices by 2015 and become common in all mobile devices shipped during 2018.

We believe that there will be a rush by consumer smart mobile device (SMD) manufacturers to emulate Apple by embedding and integrating biometrics technology into their next generation devices – not just fingerprint sensors but other biometric technology as well.”

Alan Goode (founder of Google Intelligence)

Fujitsu launched the new Arrow NX F-04G smartphone with iris recognition security earlier this month. Not to be outdone, Samsung has announced plans to incorporate iris recognition into more of its products – even its low-end products – in the near future.

So what might the future look like for multimodal biometrics in the Border Security Environment?

Elements of a Notional Multimodal Border Security Approach

Visa Applications

Watch ListsInitial Border Clearance

Subsequent Border

Clearance

Multi-port Clearance

© 2015 Unisys Corporation. All rights reserved. 23

Notional Multimodal Border Security Approach:

Visa Application Processing

Capture face, finger and iris of applicant using self serve kiosk

Search face, finger and iris biometric watch lists and investigate potential matches

Search iris biometric records of all previously enrolled travellers to identify duplicate records (e.g., different names or passports)

© 2015 Unisys Corporation. All rights reserved. 24

Notional Multimodal Border Security Approach:

Watch Lists

Primary Watch List

SecondaryWatch List

Tertiary Watch List

Maintain watch lists with available biometrics.

Iris watch list from internal sources

Finger and face watch lists from external sources

All previously enrolled travellers

All previously enrolled travellers

All previously enrolled travellers

When new record added to a watch list, search previously enrolled traveller biometrics and flag if high likelihood of match.

Notional Multimodal Border Security Approach:

Initial Border Clearance

Verify traveller against biometric in ePassport

Capture additional biometrics (iris, finger)

Iris watch list and previously enrolled travellers

Perform real-time search and refer potential matches to secondary

High priority subset of finger and face watch lists

Full finger and face watch lists

Perform post-entry search against full finger and face watch lists

Refer potential matches to enforcement

Update all watch lists with flag

© 2015 Unisys Corporation. All rights reserved. 26

Notional Multimodal Border Security Approach:

Subsequent Border Clearance(s)

Verify traveller identity against reference biometric of choice

Check (non-biometric) watch list to see if traveller has been added since previous encounter.

Watch list by passport number

Notional Multimodal Border Security Approach:

Multi-port Clearance (Cruise Ship)

Capture face, finger and iris of passengers/crew onboard ship while enroute to initial port of entry.

Search face, finger and iris biometric watch lists and investigate potential matches. Flag Not to Land and notify captain.

Search iris biometric records of all previously enrolled travellers to identify duplicate records (e.g., different names or passports)

Verify disembarking / re-boarding passengers against pre-cleared passengers using contactless fingerprint scanner kiosks.

Key Take-Aways

Multimodal biometrics…

Augments other risk assessment tools by providing the ability to perform cost effective real-time identity searches against large databases

Addresses a broad range of border security requirements with little or no impact on traveller convenience

Requires an enterprise-level solution (vs siloed solutions) that provides consistent information to all applications

Best implemented using a multi-vendor / multimodal framework to provide “future proof” flexibility as technologies evolve

Were adopted early in Australia for visa processing and secondary clearance, but other countries are now moving to implement real-time multimodal at the point of primary clearance
