Summary
The FacePass R&D project will build on Face4's recent seamless travel R&D projects with Canada Border Services Agency (air and land borders) and Eurostar (UK Train border). Each of these systems allows a traveller to self-enroll using a mobile app, create a digital travel credential (DTC), and use only face as the single security token for identity verification at the border checkpoint.
The objective project is to develop a more advanced and robust seamless travel solution and pilot it at one of the most secure and demanding airport environments in the world. The input and feedback from Israel Airports Authority will enhance data security, cybersecurity, privacy and traveller/staff user experience for both air and land borders.

Description (French)
Le projet de R-D FacePass s’appuiera sur les récents projets de R-D de Face4 sur les voyages sans faille avec l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (frontières aériennes et terrestres) et Eurostar (frontière ferroviaire du Royaume-Uni). Chacun de ces systèmes permet à un voyageur de s’inscrire lui-même à l’aide d’une application mobile, de créer une carte de voyage numérique (CVN) et d’utiliser uniquement son visage comme jeton de sécurité unique pour la vérification de l’identité au poste de contrôle frontalier. L’objectif du projet est de développer une solution de voyage sans couture plus avancée et plus robuste et de la tester dans l’un des environnements aéroportuaires les plus sécurisés et les plus exigeants au monde. La contribution et le retour d’information de l’Autorité aéroportuaire d’Israël permettront d’améliorer la sécurité des données, la cybersécurité, la confidentialité et l’expérience utilisateur des voyageurs et du personnel aux frontières aériennes et terrestres.
