100K signup for registered traveler
The American Association of Airline Executives recently processed its 100,000th passenger enrollment. The AAAes Central Information Management System (CIMS) operates a network that links airports running the Transportation Security Administration’s Registered Traveler programs.
The CIMS enables approved service providers to deliver interoperable RT services at participating airports across the country so a passenger can enroll in any providers program and use all of the RT lanes around the country. The CIMS is responsible for several RT functions, including processing all records, interfacing with the TSA for background checks, ensuring a chain of trust from vetted enrollments and issued credentials, and sending alerts to all service providers regarding revoked credentials.
Currently, AAAE, through its Transportation Security Clearinghouse (TSC) subsidiary, has agreements with five RT service providers. Three of them, Verified Identity Pass, Unisys, and Vigilant, offer RT services at a total of 17 U.S. airports. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/secureidnews-4.gif)
