System and method for credential authentication

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processing device, causes performance of operations comprising:
• obtaining a digital image of a document that identifies an individual, the document comprising encoded data that encodes identifying information about a person;
• extracting, from the encoded data, the identifying information about the person, wherein the extracted identifying information includes data that represents a biometric of the person;
• determining whether a portion of the extracted identifying information matches information in at least one identity record stored in a database;
• in response to determining that the portion of the extracted identifying information matches the information stored in the at least one identity record, obtaining data that represents a biometric of the individual identified by the document;
• determining whether the data that represents the biometric of the person matches the obtained data that represents the biometric of the individual identified by the document;
• identifying a digital marker embedded at the document, the digital marker being configured to include payload data for authenticating the document;
• and
• in response to authenticating the document using the payload data included at the digital marker, generating a notification that indicates the individual identified by the document is eligible for expedited screening.

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage devices storing instructions that are executable by one or more processing devices to cause performance of operations comprising:

• obtaining a digital image of a document that identifies an individual, the document comprising encoded data that encodes identifying information about a person;
• extracting, from the encoded data, the identifying information about the person, wherein the extracted identifying information includes data that represents a biometric of the person;
• determining whether a portion of the extracted identifying information matches information in at least one identity record stored in a database;
• in response to determining that the portion of the extracted identifying information matches the information stored in the at least one identity record, obtaining data that represents a biometric of the individual identified by the document;
• determining whether the data that represents the biometric of the person matches the obtained data that represents the biometric of the individual identified by the document;
• identifying a digital marker embedded at the document, the digital marker being configured to include payload data for authenticating the document;
• and
• in response to authenticating the document using the payload data included at the digital marker, generating a notification that indicates the individual identified by the document is eligible for expedited screening.
