Estimating the term…
A system and method for airport security employing identity validation and/or verification is provided. The invention includes a first identification input component, a second identification input component, a security output component, and, optionally an identity transaction engine component. The system facilitates airport security by having a person attempting to engage in air travel present identification on at least two occasions via the first identification input component and the second identification input component. The first identification input component initiates identification validation utilizing an identity transaction engine component. The second identification input component facilitates identification of the person so that security information obtained via the identity transaction engine component can be provided to the security output component.

The present invention relates to the field of systems and methods for identity verification and/or validation for airport security.
Each day, thousands of people travel by air. As demonstrated by the recent hijacking of commercial aircraft and the tragic consequences resulting therefrom, there is a need for systems and methods that increase security measures related to airport(s). However, the flying public has generally been inconvenienced with increased security measures, for example, long lines at ticket counter(s) and/or security check point(s).
The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key or critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an airport security system in accordance with an aspect of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of an airport security system in accordance with an aspect of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of an airport security system in accordance with an aspect of the present invention.
The present invention is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It may be evident to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate description of the present invention.
As used in this application, the term “component” is intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component.
Further, “security information” is intended to refer to security-related information associated with air traveler(s). For example, security information can include conclusory information such as cleared for air travel, not cleared for air travel, detain individual, etc. Additionally and/or alternatively, security information can include information associated with a security risk assessment, for example, a probability and/or likelihood that an air traveler is a security risk (e.g., numerical (75%) and/or range-based (e.g., low, medium, high)). Security information can further include identifying information associated with air traveler(s), for example, digitized fingerprint, digital facial image, digital voice print, etc.
