Digital identity management based on new biometric sensor systems

Novel solutions and prototypes for identifying individuals on the move

Fast and secure access controls, seamless border crossings, queue-less passenger checks at airports, and the rapid identification of individuals are the key to better security and convenience. The Austrian research centre AIT Austrian Institute of Technology uses their prototypes to offer high-level research and development services designed to raise the technology readiness level of identification systems. Working closely with their customers, they prepare models that are tailored to their specific needs. With internationally recognised experience in the field of smart border control, they develop novel solutions and prototypes for identifying individuals on the move.

AIT combines ingenious algorithms and embedded hardware and software solutions to realise new access control solutions, ranging from low to high security applications and requirements. Contactless biometric solutions are implemented in mobile devices to ease the work of law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and other security services. The new approach of contactless fingerprint capture using a mobile device enhances security, speeds up the border control process, and makes biometric verification less cumbersome and far more hygienic for both individuals and officials.
