Our core expertise includes:
e-Passport Inspection
Inspection of e-Passports at ports-of-entry provide significant enhancement to border security-biometrics on the microchip can be automatically matched against the traveler and/or compared with a national watch list. Information in the microchip can also be used to authenticate the origin of the travel document by comparing its digital keys against the matching keys supplied by the issuing state.
CBN offers a range of services, including consultancy, system upgrades and the implementation of complete border management solutions.
We have also developed our own dual optical/RF microchip reader, the EAGLE. It captures machine-readable text, full-page images, and extracts e-Passport data with a single insertion of the document. The compact size of Eagle makes it ideal for desktop applications and automated border control kiosks.
