Building Secure Biometric Systems for Digital Identity Verification in Aviation Mobile Apps

Abstract

With mobile platforms becoming a part of the aviation business, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to guarantee the security, efficiency, and compliance with privacy requirements of passenger identity verification. The study introduces a new solution to the concept of embedding secure biometric solutions in mobile platforms to verify the digital identity of people during aviation. The offered system utilizes the facial recognition technology, the use of OAuth 2.0-based authentication, permission-based biometric processes, and makes possible contactless passenger confirmation in the mobile check-in and boarding. The paper explains how the system was designed including the protection of privacy, fall back identity as well as the resilience of the system when the number of users using it at once is high. In addition, it deals with session management of secure mobile authentication, which allows adherence to aviation security standards. The findings of the deployment show that the biometric solution can achieve a significant decrease in the check-in time, the better passenger experience, and adherence to the data protection regulations. As the paper illustrates, mobile biometric identity solutions can be a very reliable and more scalable method of enhancing air travel infrastructure, provided with effective privacy controls and security measures, which are in line with the current demands of efficiency and security in digital identity management
