Intelligence-Based & Risk-Driven Approach to Border Security

“To collect accurate, verifiable and quality passenger data
as early and as far from the border as possible.

And for this data to be continually reconciled and enriched
throughout the passenger journey to
enhance border security and improve passenger facilitation.”

Key Challenges – Extract from ABC Global Market Analysis (2012)

Key Challenges
 Passenger Volumes – the number of passengers eligible to use an
automated border control programme; the number of passengers
opting to enrol in a fee-based scheme
 Costs – particularly from a government perspective of deploying and
maintaining the system, in a climate of economic austerity
 Universal Implementation – international agreements, mutual
recognition, interoperability, multiple biometrics, data privacy
 Border Transformation & Change Management – API, iAPI, PNR, Visas,
Entry/Exit, Warnings Index, Risk-Based Targeting etc.


Automated Border Control – European Economic Area (EEA) + Switzerland (CH)

 Within the EU, the target population
for Automated Border Control is
principally adult EEA/CH passengers
with valid e-Passports
 With an ever-increasing number of
passengers presenting e-Passports,
there is a compelling business case
for the deployment of e-Gates at key
ports, airports and points of entry
 Carriers, port operators and
passengers must be engaged to
raise awareness and drive adoption.
Many eligible passengers are not
aware of and do not use e-Gates


Extending the Eligible Population to Visa Holders

 Where a biometric visa issuance
process exists, there is a clear
opportunity to extend the eligible
population to include all holders
of a valid biometric visa

 The travel document in which the visa was issued serves as the token
to retrieve the biometric data captured during the issuance process

 Rather than the “default mode” of verifying the biometric data stored
on the e-Passport, the verification process can generate a real-time
interrogation of a Visa Information System (VIS)


Extending the Eligible Population to Residence Permit Holders

 Where a biometric residency permit
exists, there is another obvious
opportunity to extend the eligible
population to include all holders
of a valid Residence Permit

 Strengthen entry/exit control

 Automated Border Control during period of validity of Residence Permit


UK IRIS: Enrolment for EEA/CH & Other Nationalities

 The first Automated Border Control
system installed in the UK, in
operation for ~7 years, now entering
phased decommissioning
 Registration for IRIS is no longer
possible. And, as of late 2012, the system will only be available at
London Heathrow T3 & T5
 Beyond EEA/CH Nationals, as a voluntary enrolment scheme, IRIS was
available to Permanent Residents, Frequent Short Term Visitors,
Diplomats, Consular Officers, NATO Armed Forces Personnel (et al)
 UK government remains committed to a long-term replacement that will
allow specific groups of Non-EEA Nationals a differentiated means of
passing the border …


Extending the Eligible Population to Third Country Nationals (TCNs)

 Where well-established relationships exist with Third Countries,
where robust measures are in place to secure the document issuance
process, and/or where ABC/RTP Progammes exist in those countries,
specific groups could benefit from and use Automated Border Controls
 Either through bilateral agreements (e.g. NL/US FLUX) or through
voluntary enrolment (e.g. UK IRIS), the eligible population can be rapidly
extended to include key groups of Third Country Nationals


Transportation Workers ID Credential / Restricted Access ID Card

 Beyond the obvious benefits of developing
a standard Transportation Workers Identification
Credential / Restricted Access ID Card
(e.g. common vetting standard, differentiated
non-passenger security screening) holders of the
card could also benefit from and use Automated Border Controls

 While the population would be comparatively smaller in number (and
many are likely to have an EU e-Passport), it nonetheless represents an
additional target population of identifiable low-risk travellers to reduce
demand on the manual controls at the border


The Value of Data
Detect higher risk passengers, suspicious routes and
patterns of behavior for risk-based screening

Data and intelligence which is valuable to
border control is also valuable to aviation security

Checkpoint of the Future – Additional (Enrolment) Data Requirements

 Travel & Identity Document Data
 Residency Visa (where applicable)
 Current Residential Address Data
 Former Residential Address Data
 Contact Details (phone, e-mail etc.)
 Employment Data #11
 Employment History (past five years)
 Previous Violations – Immigration, Customs, Criminal Record etc.
 Additional Data Provisioning – Beyond API, iAPI, PNR & Biometrics
 Payment Data (e.g. credit card, bank details etc.)
 Statement of Agreement
 Acknowledgement of Terms & Conditions


The Challenges of Combining Aviation Security & Automated Border Control

 Regulatory Reform (Interior/Transport)
 Standardized Enrolment Requirements
 Eligibility Criteria
 Real-Time Data Analysis
 Issuance of Real-Time Screening Directives
 Data Capture & Document Authentication at Security Checkpoint

 Where they exist, National Border Targeting Centers and/or
Passenger Information Units are resourced for targeting and control;
not enrolment and background verification procedures

 CANADA – NEXUS/RAIC for the Trusted Traveller Security Line
is an excellent example of how these challenges can be overcome


The Road Ahead – Driving Global Adoption of Automated Border Controls

 Demands on limited resources at the border and at the
aviation security checkpoint will continue to increase
 Passenger numbers will continue to rise
 A smart combination of biographic and biometric data will enable
effective targeting, automation, pre-clearance, expedited processing
and improved passenger facilitation
 Automated Border Control will need to become
the default mode for controlling millions of
passengers every year
 A holistic view of the border and of the passenger
journey demands joined up thinking and systems
– from visa issuance, data analysis and risk assessment,
to identity management, entry/exit controls to consistently
delivering a positive passenger experience
