AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger.

The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry.

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2006 and 2019, he was the Chief Executive and General Counsel for the Police & Crime Commissioner in West Yorkshire and the Executive Director of the Civil Nuclear Police Authority. He was also a police officer for West Yorkshire Police and the British Transport Police, between 1982 and 1996.\n\n\u201cI am pleased to appoint Fraser Sampson as the new Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner,\u201d said UK Home Secretary Priti Patel. \u201cIt is vital the government works to empower police to use technology to keep the public safe while maintaining their trust and Fraser Sampson\u2019s extensive experience in law and policing makes him the right person to take up this role.\u201d\n\nwww.gov.uk<\/a>","post_title":"UK appoints Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"uk-appoints-biometrics-and-surveillance-camera-commissioner","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-16 09:05:57","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-16 09:05:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5241","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4773,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 14:01:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:51","post_content":"The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) video surveillance section has published an ethical and legal use guide for automated facial recognition (AFR). AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems.

Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant. The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger.

The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant. The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant. The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant. The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant. The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By integrating infrared cameras and CyberLink\u2019s FaceMe engine, TC-800 brings together all the necessary features to verify identity with or without mask, detect mask-wearing compliance, and measure body temperature, all in a half-second, making the process almost invisible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWallie Screen is a fully-integrated solution verify identity, monitor access, record time attendance and perform health screening, all within a half-second,\u201d said Jason Chou, Director of Medical Solution of ACE Biotek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy partnering with CyberLink, ACE Biotek integrates a world-class, highly accurate facial recognition and mask detection engine into its Wallie Screen system, addressing a fast-growing need for frictionless security, health and safety solutions that emerged with COVID-19 and is even more prevalent as parts of the world is reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

CyberLink has announced a new partnership with ACE Biotek, for a fully automated access control solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By integrating infrared cameras and CyberLink\u2019s FaceMe engine, TC-800 brings together all the necessary features to verify identity with or without mask, detect mask-wearing compliance, and measure body temperature, all in a half-second, making the process almost invisible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWallie Screen is a fully-integrated solution verify identity, monitor access, record time attendance and perform health screening, all within a half-second,\u201d said Jason Chou, Director of Medical Solution of ACE Biotek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy partnering with CyberLink, ACE Biotek integrates a world-class, highly accurate facial recognition and mask detection engine into its Wallie Screen system, addressing a fast-growing need for frictionless security, health and safety solutions that emerged with COVID-19 and is even more prevalent as parts of the world is reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

CyberLink has announced a new partnership with ACE Biotek, for a fully automated access control solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By integrating infrared cameras and CyberLink\u2019s FaceMe engine, TC-800 brings together all the necessary features to verify identity with or without mask, detect mask-wearing compliance, and measure body temperature, all in a half-second, making the process almost invisible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWallie Screen is a fully-integrated solution verify identity, monitor access, record time attendance and perform health screening, all within a half-second,\u201d said Jason Chou, Director of Medical Solution of ACE Biotek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy partnering with CyberLink, ACE Biotek integrates a world-class, highly accurate facial recognition and mask detection engine into its Wallie Screen system, addressing a fast-growing need for frictionless security, health and safety solutions that emerged with COVID-19 and is even more prevalent as parts of the world is reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant. The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

CyberLink has announced a new partnership with ACE Biotek, for a fully automated access control solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By integrating infrared cameras and CyberLink\u2019s FaceMe engine, TC-800 brings together all the necessary features to verify identity with or without mask, detect mask-wearing compliance, and measure body temperature, all in a half-second, making the process almost invisible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWallie Screen is a fully-integrated solution verify identity, monitor access, record time attendance and perform health screening, all within a half-second,\u201d said Jason Chou, Director of Medical Solution of ACE Biotek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy partnering with CyberLink, ACE Biotek integrates a world-class, highly accurate facial recognition and mask detection engine into its Wallie Screen system, addressing a fast-growing need for frictionless security, health and safety solutions that emerged with COVID-19 and is even more prevalent as parts of the world is reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger.

Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

CyberLink has announced a new partnership with ACE Biotek, for a fully automated access control solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J.

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

CyberLink has announced a new partnership with ACE Biotek, for a fully automated access control solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By integrating infrared cameras and CyberLink\u2019s FaceMe engine, TC-800 brings together all the necessary features to verify identity with or without mask, detect mask-wearing compliance, and measure body temperature, all in a half-second, making the process almost invisible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWallie Screen is a fully-integrated solution verify identity, monitor access, record time attendance and perform health screening, all within a half-second,\u201d said Jason Chou, Director of Medical Solution of ACE Biotek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy partnering with CyberLink, ACE Biotek integrates a world-class, highly accurate facial recognition and mask detection engine into its Wallie Screen system, addressing a fast-growing need for frictionless security, health and safety solutions that emerged with COVID-19 and is even more prevalent as parts of the world is reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reader is the latest addition to the company\u2019s line of HID Signo readers and adds an API for integration with access control software solutions from HID partners. This enables a single point of biometric template enrolment through an access control system, these templates can then be pushed to all connected devices simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new solution reads fingerprints of all types, including those that are hard-to-read where people have wet, dry, dirty, or worn fingerprints. Using patented multispectral imaging technology, the HID Signo biometric reader 25B captures fingerprint images from both the surface and the sub-surface of the skin, reportedly delivering consistent read performance regardless of environmental and skin conditions. Its liveness detection capabilities also prevent spoof attempts leveraging fake fingers or latent fingerprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features include; its flexibility to deploy multiple authentication modes, including biometric fingerprint and contactless physical and mobile credentials, its fingerprint match reliability and finally, its ease of configuration in the field which includes support for software upgrades over the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HID Signo biometric reader 25B supports a variety of popular contactless credential technologies including Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MIFARE (Card Serial Number) and HID Mobile Access virtual credentials and each device supports Near Field Communication (NFC) as well as Bluetooth out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is paired with the web-based HID biometric manager software that performs configuration and management of the reader, including firmware updates over the network. In addition, the software enables enrolment of user's fingerprint credentials for use with the different biometric authentication modes 1:1 verification and 1:N identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CyberLink has announced a new partnership with ACE Biotek, for a fully automated access control solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining CyberLink's FaceMe AI facial recognition engine into ACE Biotek's Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, the partnership aims to control access and check-in personnel as well as mask wearing verification to maintain a safe environment inside businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs parts of the world are re-opening to a new normal and others are still actively fighting COVID-19, facial recognition can play a central role in enabling automated, frictionless security, access control and health screening solutions that are critical in both cases,\u201d said Mei Guu, Senior VP of CyberLink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith its comprehensive support of IoT hardware, optimised across operating systems, FaceMe integrates seamlessly into ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System, enabling contactless access control, time and attendance, and health measurement solution to businesses and medical facilities.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE Biotek\u2019s Wallie Screen Access Control and Health Screening System (TC-800) is reportedly designed to perform frictionless access control and health checkpoints across industries, including medical and office facilities, primary targets for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By integrating infrared cameras and CyberLink\u2019s FaceMe engine, TC-800 brings together all the necessary features to verify identity with or without mask, detect mask-wearing compliance, and measure body temperature, all in a half-second, making the process almost invisible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWallie Screen is a fully-integrated solution verify identity, monitor access, record time attendance and perform health screening, all within a half-second,\u201d said Jason Chou, Director of Medical Solution of ACE Biotek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy partnering with CyberLink, ACE Biotek integrates a world-class, highly accurate facial recognition and mask detection engine into its Wallie Screen system, addressing a fast-growing need for frictionless security, health and safety solutions that emerged with COVID-19 and is even more prevalent as parts of the world is reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

HID Global has officially launched its HID Signo biometric reader 25B, designed to capture and read fingerprints in real-world applications and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is the latest addition to the company\u2019s line of HID Signo readers and adds an API for integration with access control software solutions from HID partners. This enables a single point of biometric template enrolment through an access control system, these templates can then be pushed to all connected devices simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new solution reads fingerprints of all types, including those that are hard-to-read where people have wet, dry, dirty, or worn fingerprints. Using patented multispectral imaging technology, the HID Signo biometric reader 25B captures fingerprint images from both the surface and the sub-surface of the skin, reportedly delivering consistent read performance regardless of environmental and skin conditions. Its liveness detection capabilities also prevent spoof attempts leveraging fake fingers or latent fingerprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features include; its flexibility to deploy multiple authentication modes, including biometric fingerprint and contactless physical and mobile credentials, its fingerprint match reliability and finally, its ease of configuration in the field which includes support for software upgrades over the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HID Signo biometric reader 25B supports a variety of popular contactless credential technologies including Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MIFARE (Card Serial Number) and HID Mobile Access virtual credentials and each device supports Near Field Communication (NFC) as well as Bluetooth out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is paired with the web-based HID biometric manager software that performs configuration and management of the reader, including firmware updates over the network. In addition, the software enables enrolment of user's fingerprint credentials for use with the different biometric authentication modes 1:1 verification and 1:N identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

HID Global has officially launched its HID Signo biometric reader 25B, designed to capture and read fingerprints in real-world applications and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is the latest addition to the company\u2019s line of HID Signo readers and adds an API for integration with access control software solutions from HID partners. This enables a single point of biometric template enrolment through an access control system, these templates can then be pushed to all connected devices simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new solution reads fingerprints of all types, including those that are hard-to-read where people have wet, dry, dirty, or worn fingerprints. Using patented multispectral imaging technology, the HID Signo biometric reader 25B captures fingerprint images from both the surface and the sub-surface of the skin, reportedly delivering consistent read performance regardless of environmental and skin conditions. Its liveness detection capabilities also prevent spoof attempts leveraging fake fingers or latent fingerprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features include; its flexibility to deploy multiple authentication modes, including biometric fingerprint and contactless physical and mobile credentials, its fingerprint match reliability and finally, its ease of configuration in the field which includes support for software upgrades over the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HID Signo biometric reader 25B supports a variety of popular contactless credential technologies including Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MIFARE (Card Serial Number) and HID Mobile Access virtual credentials and each device supports Near Field Communication (NFC) as well as Bluetooth out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is paired with the web-based HID biometric manager software that performs configuration and management of the reader, including firmware updates over the network. In addition, the software enables enrolment of user's fingerprint credentials for use with the different biometric authentication modes 1:1 verification and 1:N identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor.

The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has officially launched its HID Signo biometric reader 25B, designed to capture and read fingerprints in real-world applications and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is the latest addition to the company\u2019s line of HID Signo readers and adds an API for integration with access control software solutions from HID partners. This enables a single point of biometric template enrolment through an access control system, these templates can then be pushed to all connected devices simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new solution reads fingerprints of all types, including those that are hard-to-read where people have wet, dry, dirty, or worn fingerprints. Using patented multispectral imaging technology, the HID Signo biometric reader 25B captures fingerprint images from both the surface and the sub-surface of the skin, reportedly delivering consistent read performance regardless of environmental and skin conditions. Its liveness detection capabilities also prevent spoof attempts leveraging fake fingers or latent fingerprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial biometric process.\n\nCBP has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travellers, employing technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\n\nTo date, more than 72 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 650 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.\n\nwww.cbp.gov<\/a>","post_title":"Biometric technology implemented at Charlotte Airport","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"biometric-technology-implemented-at-charlotte-airport","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-17 10:55:10","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-17 09:55:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6140","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6060,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-12 10:35:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-12 09:35:51","post_content":"\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has officially launched its HID Signo biometric reader 25B, designed to capture and read fingerprints in real-world applications and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is the latest addition to the company\u2019s line of HID Signo readers and adds an API for integration with access control software solutions from HID partners. This enables a single point of biometric template enrolment through an access control system, these templates can then be pushed to all connected devices simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new solution reads fingerprints of all types, including those that are hard-to-read where people have wet, dry, dirty, or worn fingerprints. Using patented multispectral imaging technology, the HID Signo biometric reader 25B captures fingerprint images from both the surface and the sub-surface of the skin, reportedly delivering consistent read performance regardless of environmental and skin conditions. Its liveness detection capabilities also prevent spoof attempts leveraging fake fingers or latent fingerprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features include; its flexibility to deploy multiple authentication modes, including biometric fingerprint and contactless physical and mobile credentials, its fingerprint match reliability and finally, its ease of configuration in the field which includes support for software upgrades over the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HID Signo biometric reader 25B supports a variety of popular contactless credential technologies including Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MIFARE (Card Serial Number) and HID Mobile Access virtual credentials and each device supports Near Field Communication (NFC) as well as Bluetooth out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader is paired with the web-based HID biometric manager software that performs configuration and management of the reader, including firmware updates over the network. In addition, the software enables enrolment of user's fingerprint credentials for use with the different biometric authentication modes 1:1 verification and 1:N identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry.

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CBP looks forward to partnering with stakeholders at other international ports of entry across N.C. to implement Simplified Arrival.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with US Customs and Border Protection to offer Simplified Arrival at CLT,\u201d said Acting Aviation Director Haley Gentry. \u201cAs one of the busiest airports in the world, this innovative technology will provide our millions of passengers each year an enhanced customer experience upon their return to the US.\u201d\n\nThe biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveller arrives at CLT, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveller\u2019s passport or visa photo from government holdings and compare it to the new photo.\n\nThis process using facial biometrics only takes a few seconds and is reportedly more than 98% accurate.

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4309,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-01 11:23:00","post_content":"The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Isavia, operator of Keflavik, Iceland\u2019s main airport and other airports, have selected Idemia to provide a comprehensive border management system for all air and sea border crossing points, including new equipment. Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.

Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

TBS is launching a milestone innovation in touchless biometrics for access control applications at the forthcoming ISC West show in Las Vegas. The Swiss manufacturer and its new product will be on Booth 8066 at the convention from July 19th - 21st.<\/p>\n

The single biggest cause of disease transmission is based on what we touch, the germs we leave behind, and the germs we pick up from what other people have touched. It is, therefore, no surprise that touchless biometrics is becoming the new normal for access control applications. TBS biometric readers enhance your security, increase the efficiency of identification, and reduce the risk of spreading diseases.<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced.

The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The single biggest cause of disease transmission is based on what we touch, the germs we leave behind, and the germs we pick up from what other people have touched. It is, therefore, no surprise that touchless biometrics is becoming the new normal for access control applications. TBS biometric readers enhance your security, increase the efficiency of identification, and reduce the risk of spreading diseases.<\/p>\n

CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The placements will take place in the week commencing today (19th<\/sup>\u00a0July), and target young people from ethnic minority backgrounds aged between 14-19. Ethnic minorities are largely underrepresented in STEM careers and Corsight\u2019s Vice President of Growth and Innovation and placement leader, Dr Maya Dillon, wants to change that by proactively tackling any barriers to the recruitment process. Completing a successful placement with Corsight AI will help young people build their technical knowledge, skills, network and employability \u2013 all of which will be crucial as we transition to a digital-first economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2020, Speakers for Schools has offered 14,000 virtual work experience placements, enabling young people to access career-preparing opportunities despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and where they are geographically based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Maya Dillon\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe strongest teams are built through championing talent and diversity. Through this work experience programme with Speakers for Schools, we are able to connect with a broad range of young people, helping them to consider career options they might not have had access to previously or even knew existed. I am particularly passionate about encouraging young women and ethnic minority students to consider a career in tech, and promoting educational equality and providing access to high-quality work experience is a key place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Elsom, CEO of Speakers for Schools,\u00a0<\/strong>said:\u00a0\u201cIn a world that is increasingly digitalised, there are a growing number of exciting job opportunities in the technology sector but as they are less-traditional by nature, young people can be less familiar with the career paths available. Partnerships like this ensure we are connecting young people to careers in dynamic industries, no matter what background or circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single biggest cause of disease transmission is based on what we touch, the germs we leave behind, and the germs we pick up from what other people have touched. It is, therefore, no surprise that touchless biometrics is becoming the new normal for access control applications.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate.

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

Social mobility charity\u00a0Speakers for Schools has partnered with Corsight AI\u00a0to provide 170 virtual work experience placements to young people across the UK. Corsight\u2019s placements will provide insights into the ethical use of AI and facial recognition technology as a force for good, and shine a light on careers within the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The placements will take place in the week commencing today (19th<\/sup>\u00a0July), and target young people from ethnic minority backgrounds aged between 14-19. Ethnic minorities are largely underrepresented in STEM careers and Corsight\u2019s Vice President of Growth and Innovation and placement leader, Dr Maya Dillon, wants to change that by proactively tackling any barriers to the recruitment process. Completing a successful placement with Corsight AI will help young people build their technical knowledge, skills, network and employability \u2013 all of which will be crucial as we transition to a digital-first economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2020, Speakers for Schools has offered 14,000 virtual work experience placements, enabling young people to access career-preparing opportunities despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and where they are geographically based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Maya Dillon\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe strongest teams are built through championing talent and diversity. Through this work experience programme with Speakers for Schools, we are able to connect with a broad range of young people, helping them to consider career options they might not have had access to previously or even knew existed. I am particularly passionate about encouraging young women and ethnic minority students to consider a career in tech, and promoting educational equality and providing access to high-quality work experience is a key place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Elsom, CEO of Speakers for Schools,\u00a0<\/strong>said:\u00a0\u201cIn a world that is increasingly digitalised, there are a growing number of exciting job opportunities in the technology sector but as they are less-traditional by nature, young people can be less familiar with the career paths available. Partnerships like this ensure we are connecting young people to careers in dynamic industries, no matter what background or circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate.

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social mobility charity\u00a0Speakers for Schools has partnered with Corsight AI\u00a0to provide 170 virtual work experience placements to young people across the UK. Corsight\u2019s placements will provide insights into the ethical use of AI and facial recognition technology as a force for good, and shine a light on careers within the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The placements will take place in the week commencing today (19th<\/sup>\u00a0July), and target young people from ethnic minority backgrounds aged between 14-19. Ethnic minorities are largely underrepresented in STEM careers and Corsight\u2019s Vice President of Growth and Innovation and placement leader, Dr Maya Dillon, wants to change that by proactively tackling any barriers to the recruitment process. Completing a successful placement with Corsight AI will help young people build their technical knowledge, skills, network and employability \u2013 all of which will be crucial as we transition to a digital-first economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2020, Speakers for Schools has offered 14,000 virtual work experience placements, enabling young people to access career-preparing opportunities despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and where they are geographically based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Maya Dillon\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe strongest teams are built through championing talent and diversity. Through this work experience programme with Speakers for Schools, we are able to connect with a broad range of young people, helping them to consider career options they might not have had access to previously or even knew existed. I am particularly passionate about encouraging young women and ethnic minority students to consider a career in tech, and promoting educational equality and providing access to high-quality work experience is a key place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Elsom, CEO of Speakers for Schools,\u00a0<\/strong>said:\u00a0\u201cIn a world that is increasingly digitalised, there are a growing number of exciting job opportunities in the technology sector but as they are less-traditional by nature, young people can be less familiar with the career paths available. Partnerships like this ensure we are connecting young people to careers in dynamic industries, no matter what background or circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TBS is launching a milestone innovation in touchless biometrics for access control applications at the forthcoming ISC West show in Las Vegas. The Swiss manufacturer and its new product will be on Booth 8066 at the convention from July 19th - 21st.<\/p>\n

The single biggest cause of disease transmission is based on what we touch, the germs we leave behind, and the germs we pick up from what other people have touched. It is, therefore, no surprise that touchless biometrics is becoming the new normal for access control applications. TBS biometric readers enhance your security, increase the efficiency of identification, and reduce the risk of spreading diseases.<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners.

Social mobility charity\u00a0Speakers for Schools has partnered with Corsight AI\u00a0to provide 170 virtual work experience placements to young people across the UK. Corsight\u2019s placements will provide insights into the ethical use of AI and facial recognition technology as a force for good, and shine a light on careers within the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The placements will take place in the week commencing today (19th<\/sup>\u00a0July), and target young people from ethnic minority backgrounds aged between 14-19. Ethnic minorities are largely underrepresented in STEM careers and Corsight\u2019s Vice President of Growth and Innovation and placement leader, Dr Maya Dillon, wants to change that by proactively tackling any barriers to the recruitment process. Completing a successful placement with Corsight AI will help young people build their technical knowledge, skills, network and employability \u2013 all of which will be crucial as we transition to a digital-first economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2020, Speakers for Schools has offered 14,000 virtual work experience placements, enabling young people to access career-preparing opportunities despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and where they are geographically based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Maya Dillon\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe strongest teams are built through championing talent and diversity. Through this work experience programme with Speakers for Schools, we are able to connect with a broad range of young people, helping them to consider career options they might not have had access to previously or even knew existed. I am particularly passionate about encouraging young women and ethnic minority students to consider a career in tech, and promoting educational equality and providing access to high-quality work experience is a key place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Elsom, CEO of Speakers for Schools,\u00a0<\/strong>said:\u00a0\u201cIn a world that is increasingly digitalised, there are a growing number of exciting job opportunities in the technology sector but as they are less-traditional by nature, young people can be less familiar with the career paths available. Partnerships like this ensure we are connecting young people to careers in dynamic industries, no matter what background or circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TBS is launching a milestone innovation in touchless biometrics for access control applications at the forthcoming ISC West show in Las Vegas. The Swiss manufacturer and its new product will be on Booth 8066 at the convention from July 19th - 21st.<\/p>\n

The single biggest cause of disease transmission is based on what we touch, the germs we leave behind, and the germs we pick up from what other people have touched. It is, therefore, no surprise that touchless biometrics is becoming the new normal for access control applications. TBS biometric readers enhance your security, increase the efficiency of identification, and reduce the risk of spreading diseases.<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social mobility charity\u00a0Speakers for Schools has partnered with Corsight AI\u00a0to provide 170 virtual work experience placements to young people across the UK. Corsight\u2019s placements will provide insights into the ethical use of AI and facial recognition technology as a force for good, and shine a light on careers within the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The placements will take place in the week commencing today (19th<\/sup>\u00a0July), and target young people from ethnic minority backgrounds aged between 14-19. Ethnic minorities are largely underrepresented in STEM careers and Corsight\u2019s Vice President of Growth and Innovation and placement leader, Dr Maya Dillon, wants to change that by proactively tackling any barriers to the recruitment process. Completing a successful placement with Corsight AI will help young people build their technical knowledge, skills, network and employability \u2013 all of which will be crucial as we transition to a digital-first economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2020, Speakers for Schools has offered 14,000 virtual work experience placements, enabling young people to access career-preparing opportunities despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and where they are geographically based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Maya Dillon\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe strongest teams are built through championing talent and diversity. Through this work experience programme with Speakers for Schools, we are able to connect with a broad range of young people, helping them to consider career options they might not have had access to previously or even knew existed. I am particularly passionate about encouraging young women and ethnic minority students to consider a career in tech, and promoting educational equality and providing access to high-quality work experience is a key place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Elsom, CEO of Speakers for Schools,\u00a0<\/strong>said:\u00a0\u201cIn a world that is increasingly digitalised, there are a growing number of exciting job opportunities in the technology sector but as they are less-traditional by nature, young people can be less familiar with the career paths available. Partnerships like this ensure we are connecting young people to careers in dynamic industries, no matter what background or circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TBS is launching a milestone innovation in touchless biometrics for access control applications at the forthcoming ISC West show in Las Vegas. The Swiss manufacturer and its new product will be on Booth 8066 at the convention from July 19th - 21st.<\/p>\n

The single biggest cause of disease transmission is based on what we touch, the germs we leave behind, and the germs we pick up from what other people have touched. It is, therefore, no surprise that touchless biometrics is becoming the new normal for access control applications. TBS biometric readers enhance your security, increase the efficiency of identification, and reduce the risk of spreading diseases.<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HID Global has announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by iBeta Quality Assurance. Conducted in accordance with ISO\/IEC 30107-3, the award affirms the device can function to the highest standards, achieving 0% penetration during repeated test spoof attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe design our identity verification solutions to serve as a natural extension to users\u2019 security systems and applications, with a commitment to produce products with outstanding accuracy, reliability and secure access,\u201d said Vito Fabbrizio, Managing Director, Biometrics Business Unit, Extended Access Technologies, HID Global. \u201cThis Level 1 ISO PAD designation from iBeta confirms the diligence and purposeful security efforts our engineers built into the TouchChip product family to deliver trustworthy authentication across banking, government, healthcare, legal, retail and other industries where fingerprint verification drives efficiencies and prevents fraud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TouchChip sensor reportedly provides quick and reliable biometric authentication and is ideal for high-traffic environments such as point-of-sale and multi-user applications utilising virtualisation platforms such as Citrix or VMWare. Patented authentication technology captures high-quality images for a variety of fingerprint and liveness detection verification uses. It is recommended that PAD testing be applied to all devices where security is a priority due to the importance of biometrics technology when faced with attempts to gain unauthorised access through the use of fake fingerprints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing was conducted on the EikonTouchTM<\/sup> Model TC510-A3 sensor and associated TCS PAD Emulator v0.05 Windows 10 application in April 2021. iBeta was unable to gain unauthorised access through 360 presentation attacks (PAs) with six species of attack. The PA success rate resulted in 0%. The Imposter Attack Presentation Match Rate (IAPMR) was also 0%, demonstrating no unauthorised access was achieved with the artefacts applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social mobility charity\u00a0Speakers for Schools has partnered with Corsight AI\u00a0to provide 170 virtual work experience placements to young people across the UK. Corsight\u2019s placements will provide insights into the ethical use of AI and facial recognition technology as a force for good, and shine a light on careers within the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The placements will take place in the week commencing today (19th<\/sup>\u00a0July), and target young people from ethnic minority backgrounds aged between 14-19. Ethnic minorities are largely underrepresented in STEM careers and Corsight\u2019s Vice President of Growth and Innovation and placement leader, Dr Maya Dillon, wants to change that by proactively tackling any barriers to the recruitment process. Completing a successful placement with Corsight AI will help young people build their technical knowledge, skills, network and employability \u2013 all of which will be crucial as we transition to a digital-first economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2020, Speakers for Schools has offered 14,000 virtual work experience placements, enabling young people to access career-preparing opportunities despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and where they are geographically based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Maya Dillon\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe strongest teams are built through championing talent and diversity. Through this work experience programme with Speakers for Schools, we are able to connect with a broad range of young people, helping them to consider career options they might not have had access to previously or even knew existed. I am particularly passionate about encouraging young women and ethnic minority students to consider a career in tech, and promoting educational equality and providing access to high-quality work experience is a key place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Elsom, CEO of Speakers for Schools,\u00a0<\/strong>said:\u00a0\u201cIn a world that is increasingly digitalised, there are a growing number of exciting job opportunities in the technology sector but as they are less-traditional by nature, young people can be less familiar with the career paths available. Partnerships like this ensure we are connecting young people to careers in dynamic industries, no matter what background or circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to market analysts, this market at $1bn in 2021, will grow to $1.4 by 2024, twice the growth of traditional access control systems.\n\nBosch Building Technologies offers a software solution that manages different Bosch security subsystems like access control, video surveillance, fire alarm, public address and intrusion systems on one single platform, the Bosch Building Integration System (BIS). In order to add a biometric layer to BIS, Bosch has selected Idemia\u2019s terminals.\n\nBosch will offer Idemia\u2019s MorphoWave and VisionPass contactless biometric terminals. Both terminals combine high biometric accuracy, speed and convenience with a fully touchless user experience. They operate efficiently with sanitary masks and are therefore well adapted for Covid-prevention policies. Idemia terminals are already integrated with the BIS platform and with most gates and turnstile vendors.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES. Our advanced border management solutions, based on a 40-year relationship with governments, will offer a better user experience by interactively adapting the border process per traveller category, while ensuring maximum security.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Icelandic Police opts for Idemia for its new entry\/exit system","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"icelandic-police-opts-for-idemia-for-its-new-entry-exit-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4309","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4383,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-29 12:53:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Maarten Mijwaart at the Security Industry Group explains his theory that 'Smart Technology Mergers' will be key to 2021.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Smart Technology' with The Security Industry Group","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-smart-technology-with-the-security-industry-group","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-13 17:12:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4383","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4205,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-09 12:09:02","post_content":"Idemia has signed a deal with Rocker to enhance contactless payment security for the blue-chip Swedish FinTech and bank challenger. The agreement will see Idemia\u2019s F.CODE biometric payment cards undergo a proof of concept with Rocker customers during the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cAs a bank challenger, we are constantly testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that are easier to use and that help our customers improve their everyday financial lives,\u201d stated Jonas Hultin, Chief Product Officer and one of Rocker\u2019s three founders. \u201cWe are moving at a high pace to provide new and attractive innovations to customers. Launching biometric F.CODE debit cards is part of our strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with a transfer. In doing so, we are first in Sweden and one of the first in the world to offer this payment technology for consumers.\u201d\n\nThe deal marks the first ever-biometric card proof of concept in Northern Europe and will see payments using the card fingerprint-checked in store. The F.CODE payment card adopts a biometric authentication procedure making transactions quicker, more hygienic and more secure as cardholders no longer need to enter a PIN or sign. The solution ensures security by storing all biometric credentials only in the chip on the card, rather than in a remote database.\n\nThe battery-free card that will be rolled out in mid-2021 following the proof of concept is powered by the payment terminal and is designed to be user-friendly. Rocker aims to offer the F.CODE card as a new service in its growing offering of retail financial services that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced. The proof of concept will be completed by the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with Rocker and to shape the future of payments, hand in hand with a FinTech at the cutting edge of innovation,\u201d said Amanda Gourbault, IDEMIA\u2019s Executive Vice-President Financial Institutions. \u201cWe are delighted to ensure an innovative yet seamless experience to Rocker\u2019s customers thanks to the use of biometrics.\u201d\n\nwww.idemia.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idemia partners with Rocker to offer the first biometric card in Sweden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idemia-partners-with-rocker-to-offer-the-first-biometric-card-in-sweden","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4205","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4169,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:16","post_content":"The UK\u2019s Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC), Tony Porter, has issued best practice guidance, Facing the Camera, to all police forces in England and Wales. The guidance is for forces to follow when considering the deployment of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) surveillance camera technology.\n\nIt is the first guidance to be released since the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment on Bridges v South Wales Police earlier this year \u2013 the SCC was an intervener in the case and a key contributor. The High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.\n\nThe SCC is the independent regulator of the overt use and public operation of surveillance camera systems, including systems that incorporate LFR, by the police in England and Wales. The SCC supports the police having legitimate recourse to surveillance camera systems including LFR where they are necessary to keep us safe and secure, within the clear provisions of the law. Transparency of lawful use is essential to public trust and confidence in such matters.\n\n\u201cOver the seven years I have been Commissioner I have continually said that the police should be able to use technology to keep us safe and secure but this must be balanced against our civil liberties and the law,\u201d stated Porter. \u201cThe High Court ruled that South Wales Police\u2019s use of LFR was in accordance with the law, but this was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. The guidance I\u2019ve issued today will help forces who want to use LFR identify how to do so in accordance with the current legal framework. Where there is a proportionate need to deploy intrusive technology, it is right that the police have the guidance to do that \u2013 Facing the Camera will go some way to help them before decisions are made to deploy.\u201d\n\nRead the guidance here<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Surveillance Camera Commissioner releases LFR guidance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"surveillance-camera-commissioner-releases-lfr-guidance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-07 11:06:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4169","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

Mastercard has partnered with IDEMIA and MatchMove for its first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorise transactions at in-store payment terminals. The card, with the product name F.CODE Easy, is said to make transactions more convenient, safe and secure by eliminating the need for a cardholder to provide a PIN number or signature, thereby reducing touch points in public places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard\u2019s technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy stores all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database. The battery-free card, which harvests energy from payment terminals to power its fingerprint sensor, is designed to be user-friendly and is certified to ISO standards by Mastercard for security and compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MatchMove, a Banking as a Service provider in Singapore, will issue the biometric cards for the pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020. The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers,\u201d said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. \u201cWith Mastercard\u2019s focus on digital commerce, this solution is a testament to the innovative partnerships Mastercard cultivates and its mission to provide fast, frictionless payment experiences that are protected at every point.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate this milestone on our journey to shaping the future of payments into one powered by biometrics,\u201d said Vincent Mouret, Senior Vice President of Financial Institutions Asia Pacific at IDEMIA. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Mastercard and MatchMove to launch F.CODE Easy in Asia and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide end-to-end security for fintechs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments,\u201d said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove. \u201cBy leveraging F.CODE Easy, we can enable multiple use cases for our clients who in turn create greater value and utility for their customers, employees, suppliers and partners. We look forward to working together and introducing new innovative solutions to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social mobility charity\u00a0Speakers for Schools has partnered with Corsight AI\u00a0to provide 170 virtual work experience placements to young people across the UK. Corsight\u2019s placements will provide insights into the ethical use of AI and facial recognition technology as a force for good, and shine a light on careers within the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The placements will take place in the week commencing today (19th<\/sup>\u00a0July), and target young people from ethnic minority backgrounds aged between 14-19. Ethnic minorities are largely underrepresented in STEM careers and Corsight\u2019s Vice President of Growth and Innovation and placement leader, Dr Maya Dillon, wants to change that by proactively tackling any barriers to the recruitment process. Completing a successful placement with Corsight AI will help young people build their technical knowledge, skills, network and employability \u2013 all of which will be crucial as we transition to a digital-first economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 2020, Speakers for Schools has offered 14,000 virtual work experience placements, enabling young people to access career-preparing opportunities despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and where they are geographically based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Maya Dillon\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe strongest teams are built through championing talent and diversity. Through this work experience programme with Speakers for Schools, we are able to connect with a broad range of young people, helping them to consider career options they might not have had access to previously or even knew existed. I am particularly passionate about encouraging young women and ethnic minority students to consider a career in tech, and promoting educational equality and providing access to high-quality work experience is a key place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Elsom, CEO of Speakers for Schools,\u00a0<\/strong>said:\u00a0\u201cIn a world that is increasingly digitalised, there are a growing number of exciting job opportunities in the technology sector but as they are less-traditional by nature, young people can be less familiar with the career paths available. Partnerships like this ensure we are connecting young people to careers in dynamic industries, no matter what background or circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA), has announced implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Francisco C. Ada\/Saipan International Airport (SIA) and the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM), both located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBP is excited to expand our Simplified Arrival program, in partnership with CPA, for international travellers arriving to Saipan,\u201d said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Simplified Arrival program further secures and modernises air travel at the Saipan International Airport,\" said CPA Executive Director, Christopher S. Tenorio. \"By streamlining the customer experience, the Saipan International Airport provides a warm welcome to our international tourists and travellers. CPA is deeply appreciative of its collaboration with CBP and looks forward to working with all airport partners to further enhance the CNMI\u2019s travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are excited to be rolling out CBP\u2019s Simplified Arrival process at Guam International Airport,\" said Richard F. Di Nucci, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. \"The combination of skilled CBP officers and the use of advanced biometric technology provides travellers with a secure, efficient, and touchless arrival process and enhances the customer experience.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo. In addition, foreign travellers who have travelled to the US previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a traveller cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveller will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States. US citizens or those foreign travellers who are not required to provide biometrics who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. \u00a0These travellers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP has reportedly employed technical security safeguards and limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of US citizens will be deleted within 12 hours, with photos of most foreign nationals being stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, CBP has also implemented biometric facial comparison technology partially or fully at entry into the United States at 172 airports, including Preclearance locations, and at exit from the United States at 32 airports. To date, more than 77 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land, and seaports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 700 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced Simplified Arrival at the pedestrian border crossings in the Eagle Pass and Del Rio ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplified Arrival at the ports of Eagle Pass and Del Rio brings the use of innovative, touchless technology, which not only facilitates the flow of legitimate travel, but also continues to strengthen our essential border security mission,\u201d said Randy J. Howe, Director, Field Operations, Laredo Field Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCBP\u2019s use of biometric facial comparison technology has been enhanced since its introduction in the summer of 2018, thus delivering this secure and efficient travel experience we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle Pass Port of Entry is located at the Eagle Pass \u2013 Camino Real International Bridge, which crosses Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at EGP processed more than 2.1 million privately owned vehicles and more than 629,000 pedestrians in Fiscal Year 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Del Rio Port of Entry is located at the Del Rio \u2013 Ciudad Acuna International Bridge, which crosses between Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico and the United States. CBP officers at DLR processed more than 194,000 pedestrians and more than 1.1 million privately owned vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biometric facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. In addition, foreign travellers who have traveled to the United States previously may no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touch less facial biometric process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customer and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the adding of Simplified Arrival to Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simplified Arrival process uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States, which fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing biometric systems is the future of travel and tourism, because it creates a safe, secure and touchless travel experience for anyone arriving in the US,\u201d said CBP Acting Area Port Director, Joseph Sabuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller\u2019s passport or vis a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 68 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and seaports of entry. Simplified Arrival is voluntary for US citizens and for select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics. Eligible travellers who wish to opt out of the new facial biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiometric screening is a huge advancement in air travel safety and convenience that sets us up for even more contactless and efficient processes in the future,\u201d said John Tiliacos, Executive Vice President of Operations and Customer Service at TPA. \u201cWe are thankful for our strong partnership with US Customs and Border Protection in putting TPA at the forefront of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of Simplified Arrival at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) as well as Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using facial biometrics, Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrivals process that automates the manual document checks which are already required for admission into the United States. Simplified Arrival provides travellers with a secure, touch-less travel experience and fulfils a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Fleming, Acting Director of Field Operations, Baltimore Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained: \u201cCBP\u2019s public-private partnerships to expand facial biometrics have been critical to further strengthen our nation\u2019s security, streamline travel, and enhance the customer experience while supporting travel recovery efforts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBP officers processed about 430,000 international travellers at BWI Airport last year, and about 730,000 travellers in 2019, while 600,000 international travellers were processed at PHL Airport last year and more than 1.6 million travellers during 2019 - the last full year before the implementation of COVID-related travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of the Simplified Arrival program couldn\u2019t be better in Philadelphia, with increased international travel ramping up for the summer season,\u201d said Chellie Cameron, PHL CEO. \u201cThe convenience, accuracy and speed of this touch-less program will streamline the passenger experience while preparing us for the introduction of our outbound biometric exit program in 2022.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travellers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. This means that when travellers arrive from overseas, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point which will then be compared to the traveller's passport or visa photo retrieved from government holdings. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is more than 98% accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 66 million travellers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at land, air and sea ports of entry. CBP has reportedly leveraged facial biometrics to prevent more than 500 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
