Advanced ID verification technology refers to the use of sophisticated and reliable methods to verify the identity of an individual. This technology is typically used in situations where it is important to verify a person’s identity to prevent fraud or to comply with regulations.
Advanced ID verification technology includes a range of techniques such as biometric authentication, document verification, and database checks. Biometric authentication involves the use of unique physical characteristics such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans to verify the identity of an individual.
Document verification involves analyzing government-issued documents such as passports, driving licenses, or identity cards to ensure they are valid and not fraudulent. Database checks involve cross-referencing personal information against databases of known fraudsters or individuals with criminal records.
The advantages of advanced ID verification technology include increased security, reduced fraud, improved compliance with regulations, and faster and more convenient verification processes. It can also help organizations to build trust with their customers and stakeholders by demonstrating a commitment to security and compliance.
Advanced ID verification technology can improve airport air cargo operations in several ways, including:
In the mid of 2022 American Airlines launched a new partnership with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to test mobile identification. Customers with TSA PreCheck can now go through the airport with just their phone and their face.
Before travel, American Airlines customers with TSA PreCheck who choose to participate in this program need to download the Airside Digital Identity App on an iOS or Android device, then take a photo of their face, scan their driver’s license or passport with the app, and enter their American Airlines AAdvantage number. The app then verifies the customers’ information using mobile ID technology powered by Thales to compare against each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles records or the passport’s embedded NFC chip. The app also securely stores the customer’s American Airlines Mobile ID on their mobile device until they choose where and when to share it.
As they go through security, customers simply present a QR code on their phone and consent to share their American Airlines Mobile ID with TSA. After sharing their Mobile ID, customers look into a camera at the TSA PreCheck checkpoint. TSA’s computer system then matches the customer’s encrypted image against their American Airlines Mobile ID. According to American Airlines, the entire process at the airport typically takes less than five seconds.

More initiatives are taken to authenticate ones ID for a variatey of services where identifcation needs to take place.
The European Digital Identity will be available to EU citizens, residents, and businesses who want to identify themselves or provide confirmation of certain personal information. It can be used for both online and offline public and private services across the EU.
Operated via digital wallets available on mobile phone apps and other devices to:
The direction on how Advanced ID verification technology can help improve the security, efficiency, and compliance of airport air cargo operations and througout the whole supply chain is clear. Embedding advanced ID verification technology within the supply chain will make air cargo transportation more safer, secure and more reliable.
