RFID And Fingerprint Based Digital Passport For Cross Border Authentication

Abstract: Advancements in technology have improved the verification of travel documents through the use of electronic passports (e-passports). These passports follow International Civil Aviation Organization standards and store biometric identifiers such as fingerprints. Biometric technology combined with RFID tags enhances identity verification and reduces the use of counterfeit documents. Fingerprint-based biometric e-passports help simplify travel processes while improving global security. They also focus on protecting the privacy and sensitive biometric data of passport holders. However, certain security challenges and vulnerabilities still exist in the system. This study analyzes the cryptographic features, biometric techniques, and security protocols used in e-passports. It also examines possible risks where individuals may attempt to bypass the system. In the proposed AI/ML-based crime monitoring system, registered crimes are analyzed and categorized by severity. If a serious crime is detected, the information is used during passport verification to evaluate the applicant’s criminal background before allowing travel[1].
