BORDER CONTROL: INSPECTION SYSTEMS AND TOOLS & INTEROPERABLE APPLICATIONS
A key element of border inspection systems is the capture, verification and storage of data contained in MRTDs at different phases of the journey. This session will address a key pre-requisite to verifying the identity of travellers – namely the validation of electronic MRTDs. Experts will provide examples regarding important elements that help to expedite the movement of legitimate travellers while identifying high-risk individuals, with a view to focussing on automating the clearance process.
