Whilst serving their clients government standard physical travel documents, Mühlbauer is aligning with the trend of physical to digitalised documents available through mobile, which have the greatest advantage in the chip to verify the digital signature. They are addressing immigration points at land borders and throughout the travel ecosystem through their latest innovation of the Smart Corridor, allowing smarter processing along the passengers’ journey.

“As a biometric modality, face is the standard in the world”, derived from the ICAO Specification 9303, says Lutz Richter. Readable from the document chip because it is digitally signed, this innovation expands the high accuracy of face biometrics in other verifiable technology such as e-gates and kiosks in the terminal. 

eID cards and mobile IDs link to the Seamless Corridor, connecting digital passenger data for travel security. The data is captured through the onboarding process and verified against travel documents which confirms the holder is also the identity ownership. Whilst the travel sector embraces selective disclosure for passengers, biometrics and verification of e-signatures are a “must” and trusted applications on the smartphone to confirm identity securely. 

Mühlbauer is a Gold Sponsor at our upcoming edition, Identity Week America, 10-11 September in Washington D.C!
