HCL Technologies, an IT solutions developer, has announced the launch of its biometric airport security solution that would help speed up the movement of pilots and flight crew through security checkpoints.
The new solution, called AeroPASS, was developed with biometrics developer Daon Trusted Identity Services as well as airline communications company AvFinity.
Unlike similar systems developed for checking pilot and flight crew credentials using biometrics, the AeroPass system does not store biometric information itself, but rather on a credential that airline employees would be issued with their enrolled biometric data.
On top of the operation of the system, HCL is touting the system as meeting the standards of the Biometric Airport Security Identification Consortium as well as the Transportation Security Administration’s rapid-access biometric systems regulations.
