BioPass


New

You can now add your COVID-19 vaccination certificate and recent test results to BioPass for a streamlined airport experience and to get verified status (if requirements are met).


A revolution in authentication.

BioPass is a biometric system designed by Austin's Airways to speed up authentication and verification at the airport. Simply scan your face, iris, or fingerprint to seamlessly Check-In, verify for baggage drop-off, enter airside, access Austin's Airways Lounges, and board from the gate. BioPass is quick, convenient, secure, and safe.

Do everything in an instant.

You can use BioPass to access virtually any Austin's Airways services at the airport, including Check-In, entering Airside, Airport Lounges access, and Around the World services. Developed on ground-breaking new technologies, BioPass truly is the future of authentication.

Groundbreaking technologies

BioPass uses specially Austin’s Airways designed devices to verify your identity in a flash. The whole process is designed to be completely paperless, so there’s no need to fumble around with your passports. A simply glance and a touch of your finger will get you through like a wiz.

Face

BioPass uses state of the art technologies to accurately map the geometry of your face. The BioPass device analyses over 50,000 invisible dots projected onto your face, along with a captured infrared image, all in the fraction of a second. Furthermore, a depth sensor precisely detects your face in 3D, and matches the depth information against registered data. A sophisticated anti-spoofing neural network protects against spoofing by photographs and masks.

Iris

Multiple innovative technologies will scan your iris in real time to authenticate BioPass. An infrared LED illuminates your eyes, and the Iris Camera captures a very detailed picture of your iris, including the structure and the veins underneath, which is then compared to the stored data to confirm a match. And all of this is done blazing fast.

The patterns in your irises are unique to you and are virtually impossible to replicate, meaning iris authentication is one of the safest ways to authenticate yourself in BioPass.

Fingerprint

With just a touch of your finger, a sensor quickly reads your fingerprint in fractions of a second. The fingerprint sensor in BioPass devices is made from sapphire crystal, which acts as a lens to precisely focus on your finger. It uses advanced capacitive touch to take a high-resolution image from small sections of your fingerprint. BioPass then intelligently analyses this information with a remarkable degree of detail and precision. It maps out individual details in the ridges that are smaller than the human eye can see, and even inspects minor variations in ridge direction caused by pores and edge structures. It then creates a mathematical representation of your fingerprint and compares this to your enrolled fingerprint data to identify a match.

Once it knows you, it always knows you

BioPass uses advanced machine learning and neural engines across the board to recognize changes in you. So wear a hat. Grow a beard. Put on glasses. BioPass Face will always recognise you adaptively. Just been visiting a dry climate and got chapped fingers? No worries. BioPass Fingerprint can still accurately scan your fingerprint.

 

Everytime you use BioPass, the system will incrementally update the mathematical representations of your enrolled facial maps, iris patterns, and fingerprints to improve matching accuracy for the next time. So every time you use BioPass, it gets even smarter at recognising you.

Truly convenient

All BioPass recognition technologies work hand in hand to provide the best experience. They all perform thousands of billions of operations in a second, which makes verification extremely fast and quick. So using BioPass will never take long to clear security, and will always ensure that a truly convenient experience.

Secure and reliable

BioPass devices have been thoroughly tested and meet international safety standards. The 3D face recognition camera, iris scanning, and fingerprint reader systems are all safe to use; they will not cause any harm to eyes or skin in any way. The infrared emitted from the cameras will not cause any health damages, cancer, or any related worries.

Privacy

Always secured data

Your BioPass profile is always completely encrypted using best of class encryption algorithms. In addition, each BioPass device has multiple layers of built-in security features to safeguard your data.

The profile BioPass builds of you is also never developed into a picture. Instead, BioPass uses complicated mathematical representations. It is impossible for someone to reverse engineer your actual image and data from this stored representations.

Setting up a BioPass profile is easy

To use BioPass, you will first need to register your profile. Registering is easy. When you turn up to the Airport, simply head to any Austin’s Airways Check-In counters, and our friendly staff will assist you with process from there on.
