Course Description
Fingerprints were the first biometric modality used to confirm travellers’ identities, and they are now the most extensively used modality in border control systems. Irises and faces were soon used for identification. Other biometrics are also being tested at the border by border control organisations, with many pilot projects now underway. Multimodal systems, which provide a multi-layered approach to border protection, are also becoming more popular in international biometric deployments.
Biometrics are heavily used in automated border security systems, which are making international travel safer and more convenient for millions of passengers. Recognizing that border control staff are a significant cost driver, many nations have begun to deploy electronic gates, kiosks, and other technology that enable tourists to complete the majority (if not all) of the border control procedure on their own. These advancements would not be achievable without the use of biometrics.
