Over the course of the contract, biometrics will be deployed progressively to other business processes such as the overseas refugee and humanitarian caseload and the secondary line - where a passenger is redirected from standard entry queues for additional assessment, such as increased identity validation - at Australian airports. The new solution, designed to strengthen Australia’s borders, will use facial recognition and fingerprint scanning technology. Unisys will lead a team of biometrics and identity management specialists: University of Canberra, Daon, the International Biometric Group, Cognitec, NEC, Tactics and Aulich & Co. “Unisys has played a key role in biometric and identity management projects globally, from ID cards and travel documentation to border control, voter registration, defence and homeland security, airport and port security,” said Allen Koehn, managing partner, Public Sector, Unisys Australia-New Zealand. “A flexible, scalable identity management solution will help maintain Australia’s security.”{moscomment}
