Abstract

An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A computer system configured to communicate with a display unit, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
memory storing one or more sets of instructions configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more sets of instructions including instructions for:
receiving a request for mobile identification credential information from an external electronic device that is separate from the computer system;
in response to receiving the request for mobile identification credential information from the external electronic device:
displaying, via the display unit, a first user interface that identifies one or more pieces of mobile identification credential information being requested by the external electronic device;
subsequent to displaying the first user interface that identifies one or more pieces of mobile identification credential information being requested by the external electronic device, detecting one or more user inputs;
and
in response to detecting the one or more user inputs:
in accordance with a determination that the one or more user inputs satisfy one or more information transmission criteria, transmitting the one or more pieces of mobile identification credential information requested by the external electronic device to the external electronic device, wherein the one or more pieces of mobile identification credential information are associated with a mobile identification credential stored on the computer system.
