NEXT-GEN CREDENTIAL AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY LANDS AT NORFOLK INTERNATIONAL

By Kylie BielbyFebruary 27, 20243 Mins Read

New technology that confirms the validity of a traveler’s identification (ID)
and confirms their flight information in real time is now in use at the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoints at Norfolk
International Airport, Virginia.

This deployment is the latest generation of Credential Authentication Technology
(CAT) to verify the identity of travelers. First-generation CAT units are
designed to scan a traveler’s photo identification and confirm the traveler’s
identity as well as their flight details. The new CAT units, referred to as
CAT-2, have the same capabilities but are also equipped with a camera that
captures a real-time photo of the traveler.




CAT-2 compares the traveler’s photo on the ID against the in-person, real-time
photo. Once the CAT-2 confirms the match, a TSA officer verifies and the
traveler can proceed through the checkpoint, without ever exchanging a boarding
pass.

The CAT-2 units are equipped with cameras on tablets and are used to match the
face of the person standing at the checkpoint with the face that appears on the
traveler’s ID, such as the person’s driver’s license or passport. The technology
enhances detection capabilities for identifying fraudulent documents at the
security checkpoint. The photos are not saved – they are only used to match the
person standing at the travel document checking podium with the photo on the ID
that is being presented.

“Identity verification of every traveler prior to flying is a key step in the
security screening process,” said Robin “Chuck” Burke, TSA’s federal security
director for the airport. “This technology enhances detection capabilities for
identifying fraudulent IDs such as driver’s licenses and passports at a
checkpoint and it increases efficiency by automatically verifying a passenger’s
identification. We just want to ensure that you are who you say you are.”

As an additional feature, the unit is touchless – the passengers insert their ID
and do not have to hand it to a TSA officer, which reduces touchpoints and
speeds up the process. Travelers insert their ID, look at the camera and if the
ID is validated, the traveler then proceeds into the checkpoint. Even with TSA’s
use of these units, travelers still need to check-in with their airline in
advance and bring their boarding pass to their gate to show the airline
representative before boarding their flight.

“This latest technology helps ensure that we know who is boarding flights,”
explained Jeffrey Horowitz, TSA’s assistant federal security director at the
airport. “Credential authentication plays an important role in passenger
identity verification. It improves a TSA officer’s ability to validate a
traveler’s photo identification while also identifying any inconsistencies
associated with fraudulent travel documents.”

The system also confirms the passenger’s flight status by verifying that the
individual is ticketed to fly out of an airport on that same day. CAT-2 units
have what is referred to as a “library” of IDs programed into them that enable
the technology to authenticate more than 2,500 different types of IDs including
passports, military common access cards, Department of Homeland Security Trusted
Traveler ID cards, uniformed services ID cards, permanent resident cards, US
visas and driver’s licenses and photo IDs issued by state motor vehicle
departments.

TSA reminds travelers that photos captured by CAT-2 units are never stored or
used for any other purpose than immediate identity verification. Travelers who
do not wish to participate in the facial matching process can opt out in favor
of an alternative identity verification process.
