Biometric Verification

In the context of aviation, biometric verification refers to the use of unique biological characteristics to verify an individual's identity. This technology is increasingly being used in airports around the world to enhance security and streamline passenger processing. Biometric verification can involve the use of fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scanning, and other unique biological traits. For instance, facial recognition technology can be used at passport control to verify a passenger's identity against their passport photo. Similarly, fingerprints can be used to verify a passenger's identity when checking in for a flight or accessing secure areas of an airport. Biometric verification not only enhances security by making it more difficult for individuals to assume another person's identity, but it also improves efficiency by reducing the need for manual identity checks. However, the use of biometric verification in aviation also raises privacy concerns, as it involves the collection and storage of sensitive personal data.
