Abstract:
This article discusses security issues of passenger verification platforms, deploying mobile and portable devices, which will enable authorities to conduct fast, secure and reliable checks at land/railway border crossing points. The automated passengers verification facilitates the efficient, high-speed processing of biometric information and documentation at border control points without compromising security or requiring major infrastructure investments. From the passengers point of view, faster cross border checking increases convenience by eliminating the need of waiting in long queues.
