In a bid to deal with identity related security breaches, Airport Authority of India is planning to introduce Biometric Access Control System.
and Badging systems in Chennai Airport.
Chennai Airport director Deepak Shastri told Express that that biometrics system will be introduced in the airport by next year.
Interestingly, Biometrics Access Control System will control employee access throughout the airport, and help keep the public out of areas they do not belong. Currently, the airport is being manned by Central Industrial Security Force ( CISF) personnel manually who check the identity cards of personnel before letting them in.
It is learnt that Bureau of Civil Aviation Security is planning to do away with this manual checks and provide its airport personnel with a secure contactless Card, which will have a biometric template for multi-factor authentication like pupil of the eye or fingerprints for access.
The contactless card shall be fool-proof and impossible to replicate creating a mechanism for monitoring or control of the movements of personnel and vehicles into the airports.
.
The doors and access points will be released only to authorized personnel after they have been identified by the system.
The authentication of the cardholder will be at the backend Access Control system. All successful or unsuccessful attempts will be transferred to the database server over the access control network.
This comes as threat to airports globally is more from the people inside as seen in several cases, including the bombing of Russian airline’s Metrojet which disintegrated above Sinai last October.
At present personnel are issued simple plastic identity cards called Airport Entry Pass (AEP) for accessing the secured areas in the buildings, based on a designed colour coding scheme. The personnel can exit or enter the buildings any number times.
How it will work:
--- All entry/exit points will have Controlled Access in the form of Turnstiles, doors, etc.
--- Biometrics Card Readers will be installed at entry or exit points of designated restricted areas.
-- Long range radio frequency readers will be assigned to allow authorized vehicle where vehicles can be automatically identified over 10 meters distance to allow access to restricted areas.
-- To make biometric verification secure, the biometric data shall be stored in a secure application area within the Card.
-- The entire system will be networked for monitoring.
-- Data transfer is totally
