U.S. Department of Homeland Security Selects Biometric Face Verification Technology for Secure Border Crossings

Summary:

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has adopted AI Biometric Solutions Suite to enhance secure border crossings, enabling travelers to quickly transit remote border points, with accurate reporting of entry and exit data.

Client: 

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Problem Statement: 

The U.S. Department Of Homeland Security (DHS) required an advanced, scalable, and secure method to verify the identity of travelers at border crossings. The traditional methods were labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to inefficiencies. Additionally, ensuring the authenticity of biometric data to prevent fraud or spoofing was a key challenge.

Results: 

• Reduced fraud attempts at border crossings by identifying spoofing and unauthorized identity attempts.
• Minimized wait times, allowing Customs and Border Protection officers to focus on higher-priority tasks.
• Improved traveler experience with quick biometric verification.
• Reduced administrative burden on Customs and Border Protection frontline personnel.

AI Solution Overview:

iProov provided the CBP with its Biometric Solutions Suite, featuring Dynamic Liveness technology. This AI-driven solution verifies a person’s identity by ensuring that the presented biometric data is authentic and captured in real time, eliminating risks associated with deep fakes, masks, or other spoofing attempts.

Dynamic Liveness Detection ensures that biometric data originates from a live individual during the scan.

iProov’s Dynamic Liveness technology allows travelers to confirm their identity and submit the required documentation using their own devices before reaching the U.S. border. This process enables travelers to remotely apply for travel authorization and book an appointment at a designated port of entry to file an asylum claim.
