Airport Equipment / SAGEM


	"Sagem Sécurité (SAFRAN Group) is an acknowledged expert in multi-biometric technologies, smart cards, data processing and secure transmissions, enabling us to meet emerging security requirements for governments and private citizens alike. We offer solutions ranging from local protection to national security systems, including the following: • Production of secured documents (passports, visas, identity and healthcare cards, transport tickets), and development of the systems used to manage these cards • Biometric systems for civil and police activities (AFIS in particular) • Smart cards (SIM, bank, multi-application) • Secured terminals (payments, gaming) and biometric terminals • Developing infrastructures with encryption and public key identification (PKI) • Road safety systems and equipment • Physical and electronic access control • Automated solutions for border control Sagem Sécurité is one of the few companies in the world to master ICAO multi-biometric technology (fingers, iris and face) in airport security and facilitation.

	Technologies Biometric sensors and tools Checking people's identity is one of the cornerstones of airport security or facilitation. Having been an expert in biometric fingerprint recognition technology for nearly 25 years, Sagem Sécurité manufactures biometric scanners and supplies the necessary tools that enable fingerprints to be scanned and identities checked, thus protecting the security and rights of individuals. • MorphoSmart is a multipurpose fingerprint-processing unit with a high-end optical sensor and micro-controller for encoding and RS232 or USB ports. It is designed to be used with PC based applications. • MorphoAccess is a plug-and-play, physical access control sensor, with an optional contactless card reader, fake finger detection and outdoor capabilities. It allows authentication as well as identification (up to 48 000 people, with local database management), and can be used in a stand-alone or networked connection. • The MorphoAccess Enrolment and Management System (MEMS) offers the possibility to integrate a biometric solution in physical access control systems at low costs and with very few modifications. • Morphotouch is a multi-function handheld terminal that can be used in systems requiring high-performance mobile sensors. • The MorphoKit provides all the software tools required to customize the applications. Smart cards and e-passports Smart cards are a major asset for airports because they save time and provide security in many different professional or public applications: authentication (identity, passport, loyalty programs, electronic purses, etc), physical or logical access control (protected areas, lounges, border crossings, etc), administration of rights (workstations, service vehicles, gangways, fuel, etc) and time management. Biometrics provides extra security. As the fourth largest card manufacturer in the world, Sagem Orga develops and produces a full range of smart cards: SIM cards for GSM, ID cards (with or without biometric applications), payment cards and dedicated application cards. These all complement the terminal or biometric systems on offer and allow customized applications to be produced. Information security Airports are increasingly dependent on computer systems and the Internet and are therefore exposed to network hacking. This can cause risks of malfunction in airport operations and constitutes a major threat to civil aviation. Xelios bio log-in is client server software that integrates every necessary function to biometrically secure the networked software developments: logical access control, log-in and password management (single sign-on), encryption, certificate activation and X509 PKI compatibility. Detection of more than one individual Detecting fraudulent tailgating, "piggybacking", etc, at a gate is of great interest in any self-service or remotely supervised access control system. Images from sensors, such as digital cameras or IR cells, have been found relatively easy to fake. For over a year Sagem Sécurité has been studying different technologies that use cameras and innovative sensors optimally. Sagem Sécurité's technology's ability to detect more than one individual inside the enclosure has now achieved unrivalled performances with very low false rejection and false acceptance rates. Systems Biometric ID and access control Most physical access control systems in use today are based upon tokens such as contact or contactless cards or PINs. These tokens are sources of frequent security breaches, as people can enter these systems with someone else's token. Sagem Sécurité's physical access control system MorphoSecure eliminates this fraud by integrating biometrics in a state-of-the-art access control system. It is an integrated security system using distributed control units, which have embedded PC technology under Ethernet TCP/IP protocol. Biometric templates can either be stored on contactless smart cards (with a wide choice of technologies available for a 1:1 comparison) or be stored in a centralized biometric database (for a 1:N comparison without a token). Furthermore, MorphoSecure complies with the ISO draft standard for airport employee access control. Automated Border Control Sagem Sécurité supplies automated immigration control systems that considerably reduce waiting times at passport control for previously enrolled, low-risk frequent travelers. Specific contactless smart cards or passports can be used (1:1 authentication) or not (1:N identification). Instead of lining up at immigration to present a passport to an officer, passengers simply proceed through a one-person-only gated enclosure, where they are identified by their biometrics, usually fingerprints or irises (sometimes faces can be used). Different watchlists can be screened in real time. The entire process takes an average of 20 seconds - compare this to the lengthy waiting times in line-ups. Automated Border Control (ABC) systems (mainly based on fingerprints) are further detailed in this pre-qualification document (see the following chapter). Check-in and boarding Sagem Sécurité supplies automated travel-document reconciliation systems. In an initial stage, it is simply checked by way of biometrics that the passenger boarding the aircraft is the same one who checked in. In a second phase, each passenger's biometrics can be matched against a watchlist so as to prevent any undesired individual from boarding. From check-in counters to boarding gates, the biometric templates (usually fingerprints) can be either written on the boarding pass (ATB mag stripe or non-ATB 2D barcode) or transmitted by the DCS network. In the latter case, a provisional biometric database is needed. This procedure is very fast and can be completed during the normal check-in/boarding procedure.

	The company's Security Division mainly provides airport equipment and systems. Sagem Sécurité offers a wide range of multi-function equipment (biometric devices, smart cards, software security, public and professional telecommunications). This equipment is assembled in customized systems to improve airline and airport security and expedite operations: • For employees - background checks, physical and logical access control, identity checks and professional ID cards • For passengers - biometric passport and visa issuance, automated border control, biometric check-in and boarding, inadmissible processing and multi biometric self-service kiosks Our most important references are as follows: - Airport access and identity control for employees : Seattle, Roissy and Orly, Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir, Rabat, Tanger, Fes, Nice, plus many small airports in the USA* - Automated border control for passengers : Kuala Lumpur, Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Birmingham, Paris Roissy,* Oman, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide - Biometric check-in and boarding for passengers : BIODEV (Roissy, Orly, Zaventem, Lyon, Marseille), VISABIO (international French airports), Biometric Matching System BMS - Other automated identity control for passengers: Roissy Check-in/Boarding, Heathrow Terminal 3 MiSense, Nice Airport Premier Pilot systems.
