A Challenging Proposition

How might we lessen the administrative duties performed by border service

officers so that they can focus on more compliance verification and enforcement

Ultimate/Desired Result

Zero wait time for admissible people and goods crossing our border

A more dynamic and responsive compliance verification and enforcement capability

Technical Challenge

How might we integrate various devices to manage administrative tasks while

integrating with officers-in-the-loop for complex judgment tasks

Pressures to respond to operational challenges without

significantly increasing the workforce or operational footprint

Collaborative Partnership Team, project scope, challenges

• Government Partners:

• Immigration – IRCC (Lead Dept.) – project lead, ETA with predictive analytics

• Border Services – CBSA – border/exercise lead, airport demo, predictive analytics

• Canadian Safety & Security Program CSSP – funding and collaboration

• Industry/University Partners:

• WorldReach Software(Lead) – mobile app interactive with traveller (eDeclaration,

Know Your Traveller, ePassport renewal), kiosk simulation, IT/Cloud platform

• Entrust Datacard – risk engine, traveller risk profile

• Face4 Systems – biometric facial capture/recognition, walk through corridor

• University of Ottawa – biometric token generation & cryptography (RBR)

Enablers for Border Management Vision – Zero-wait time for admissible travellers

• Willingness to Share Information

• Smartphone – Higher Quality Credentials

• Richer services for Travellers

• Zero-Wait Time – Facilitation

• Privacy by Design and Security

Collaborative Partnership Team - Project Scope

Project Objectives: Facilitate the clearance of low-risk travellers, while helping to

detect/deter potential terrorists/criminals before migration approval or entry.

• Identify requirements, target the technology ready for pilot.

• Demonstration in a representative operational environment.

• Enhance targeting solutions to use available data, including electronic traveller

data and biometrics, continuously through the travel continuum.

• Demo an end-to-end solution to verify ID and analyze the traveller risk from

eTA application to arrival and clearance at Port of Entry.

6


Collaborative Partnership Team - Challenges

Challenges:

• Facilitate the seamless flow of travellers assessed as low risk using remotely

verified ID

• Understand and test the information flow/sharing

• Integration of key component technologies

• Predictive analytics model creation – risk detection

• Risk assessment engine – driving workflows of people and mobile officer alerts

• Test mobile officer model and supporting technologies

7


Starts with Known Traveller Identity

Are you who you say you are?

How can we:

• Better screen an individual/traveller in lower risk categories

• Facilitate the trustworthy majority

• Flag a person of interest or possible criminal/terrorist?

8


Earlier Known Traveller Identity Verification:

Know Your Traveller at the Application Stage

• Biometric Identification (facial image)

• Biographical Information (accurate capture)

• Authentication using Secure Sources (trusted ePassport)

Done Remotely

• without going to an Embassy or Visa Application Centre

Apply to Lower Risk/High Volume Categories

• Visa Waiver – Electronic Travel Authorization ETA/ETIAS/ESTA

• eVisa – for lower risk individuals who do need a visa

9


Can Integrating Connected Devices Help?

• Can smartphones, smart watches and cameras sense/collect required

information?

9

• Can predictive analytics and a policy rules engine work together to analyse

the level of compliance of each traveller?

• Can face recognition control the flow of travellers while officers-in-the-loop

use complex judgment to resolve anomalies/concerns?

10


Technology Demo – requirements & design/test approaches

Technology Demo Scope• Know Your Traveller - facial image using smartphone, authenticate the selfie to ePassport chip including

spoofing detection, ePassport signatures authenticated using PKD.

• Use Biographic data from ePassport chip entered in the ETA application

• Biometrics Token creation and subsequent verification via live captured facial images

• Prototyping/Integration of the ‘Traveller’ app with the eDeclaration Form.

• Traveller Risk Profile - establish/maintain a transient and dynamic record for each traveller.

• Checks performed on a simulated connection to watch lists e.g. Interpol SLTD

• Online/smartphone renewal process for Canadian ePassports prototyped

• Collaborative predictive analytics - IRCC and CBSA models to assess individual traveller risk level.

• Risk assessments updated as traveller moves through stages of travel

• Faces on the Move integration - proven kiosk and/or “biometrics on the move” techniques, flow control

• Cloud based & physical demonstration facility - exercises to simulate the zones of the air travel

continuum and border processes redesign

Seamless Travel for Known Travellers

Integrated App for traveller Interaction (WorldReach)

Provide an Integrated Interactive App for air travellers for returning Canadians

and eTA eligible travellers including server side verification/processing

ID Verification capability – done remotely, digitally, trusted as applied to:

• Secure ETA application

• Returning Canadians – Air mode - integrated app with eDeclaration

• Passport Renewal Application – Smartphone based Prototype

• Provide Traveller Guidance as they flow through Border Zones/Clearance

Findings - Biometric Corridor & Flow Control (Face 4 Systems)

• It works well. We need to do more extensive testing to provide more

meaningful statistical results.

• With 30 people each making 30 passes through the lanes, 100% of the people

were correctly identified. The people were walking or running through the lane

looking either in the direction of the camera or straight ahead.

• It works quickly and the passage times can be further shortened. At normal

walking speed the passage time was ~3.5 seconds and at a run was ~2

seconds. We expect that a less than 3 second normal passage time is

achievable.

Enabling the operational vision of Air Border of the Future 2020

Trusted Identity - Key enabler of Integrated Border Management Transformation

• Trusted biometrics and biographical information collected remotely earlier to:

• know the Visa Waiver/ESTA or eVisa traveller is the person they claim to be

• feed into pre-travel watch list checks and risk analytics to get better results

• enhance facilitation for lower risk travellers at the border

• helping to screen for persons of interest and prevent terrorist travel

• Demonstrates that the Secure ETA™ technology and Know Your Traveler™

can be applied to a significant volume of travellers – Ready for pilots

17


Enabling the operational vision of Air Border of the Future 2020

Canada’s Chain of Trust Project:

• Demonstrates that Collaborative Risk Assessment using predictive analytics

inputs and trusted early identification of travellers can guide workflows.

• Provided a demonstration workbench for operational process design for

shifting to mobile enforcement officers as part of general passenger flow.

• Demonstrates that biometric corridor can work well in a few seconds to allow

non-stop passenger flow using facial recognition and ‘faces on the move’

18


Seamless Air Travel – International Initiatives

• IATA’s One Identity

• ICAO – Digital Travel Credential

19


Seamless Air Travel - Initiatives

• World Economic Forum Known Traveller Initiative

• Points marked in Blue are

identified as highest pain

points

• Chain of Trust (and KYT)

addresses:

• Visa application & screening

(Enrolment)

• Security screening

• Arrival & border security

• Can feed into security

screening and exit controls

20


Enabling the Border of the Future – Next Steps

• Demo Facility to inform and allow people in Immigration and Customs and interested

Government Departments to see the vision come to life.

• Planning now for pilots – How can Chain of Trust be used in Canada’s commitment to

a pilot with The Netherlands of the World Economic Forum roadmap?

• Immigration Visa modernization – potential to apply use of mobile platform, KYT and

predictive analytics. Next generation Secure ETA Program?

• UK Home Office capability demonstration based on WorldReach’s Know Your

Traveller platform for remote ID Verification, including liveness detection.

• Start doing prototypes and pilots to ‘learn by doing’ and refine thinking, implement

components to build towards the future.

This is not 5 - 10 years out, it’s closer than you think!
