secunet equips more and more European countries with solutions for efficient border control

The secunet easygate performs thorough checks of the authenticity of electronic identity documents such as passports and identity cards by both optical and electronic means. The system reads the facial image from the chip in the electronic identity document and compares the biometric data with the passenger’s live image. Officials monitor the process and can concentrate on those travellers that require further checks. Airports benefit from increased passenger throughput, and travellers enjoy shorter waiting times, as it only takes around 12 seconds for a passenger to pass through the secunet easygate.

The solution from secunet also incorporates secunet easyserver, a central server infrastructure, which enables reliable, rapid and secure access to police background systems and Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) as well as master lists, guaranteeing comprehensive and secure document verification and authentication.
