12 Changing Mission Requirements We want the travelling experience of the future to be fast and seamless for legitimate travellers a low-touch experience beyond traditional barriers. Australia Department of Immigration and Border Protection People trafficking is the fastest growing means by which people are enslaved, the fastest growing international crime, and one of the largest sources of income for organised crime. UN Office on Drugs & Crime MORE than 1000 suspected Australian passport fraud cases have been investigated in the past three years and about 100 fake passports have been seized. Tens of thousands Australian travel documents are reported lost or stolen every year. Melbourne Herald Sun Australian foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq pose a serious national security threat to Australia. Lowy Institute Even Singapore has confirmed that a handful of its citizens are engaged with extremist groups, with Interior Minister Teo Chee Hean stating that at least two Singaporeans are known to be fighting in Syria.

20 Public Acceptance 95% of Australians surveyed support the expanded use of biometrics by customs and immigration staff to identify passengers on watch lists. Unisys Security Index Research Fingerprint sensors will become standard in most high-end smart mobile devices by 2015 and become common in all mobile devices shipped during We believe that there will be a rush by consumer smart mobile device (SMD) manufacturers to emulate Apple by embedding and integrating biometrics technology into their next generation devices not just fingerprint sensors but other biometric technology as well. Alan Goode (founder of Google Intelligence) Fujitsu launched the new Arrow NX F-04G smartphone with iris recognition security earlier this month. Not to be outdone, Samsung has announced plans to incorporate iris recognition into more of its products even its low-end products in the near future Unisys Corporation. All rights reserved. 20

28 Key Take-Aways Multimodal biometrics Augments other risk assessment tools by providing the ability to perform cost effective real-time identity searches against large databases Addresses a broad range of border security requirements with little or no impact on traveller convenience Requires an enterprise-level solution (vs siloed solutions) that provides consistent information to all applications Best implemented using a multi-vendor / multimodal framework to provide future proof flexibility as technologies evolve Were adopted early in Australia for visa processing and secondary clearance, but other countries are now moving to implement real-time multimodal at the point of primary clearance 2015 Unisys Corporation.
