System and method for automated border-crossing checks
System and method for automated border-crossing checks of a personal data recording device, a biometry data recording device, a personal data transmission device, a data storage device, a transit gate ( 10 ), an isolation device, a data reading device, an authenticity testing device, a data manipulation testing device, a device for opening of the entrance ( 12 ) of transit gate ( 10 ), a biometry data recording device, a comparison device, an alarm triggering device, a personal data transmission device and a device for opening the exit of the transit gate ( 10 ) and a method for automated border-crossing checks.
1. A system comprising:
a transit gate having, in order, an entrance, a walkthrough passage, and an exit, wherein the entrance and exit are closed in a base position;
a card reading device located outside the walkthrough passage to read identification data from an identification card, wherein the card reading device is in communication with a security module to determine whether the identification card is legitimate and allow the entrance to open;
a biometry reading device located within the walkthrough passage, to obtain first biometry data directly from an individual; and
a server configured to compare the first biometry data to second biometry data read from the identification card by the card reading device, compare the identity obtained from the identification card to a list of identities, and open the exit if the identity is not on the list of identities.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the list of identities is a wanted list maintained by a police agency.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the card reading device is configured to calculate and verify an identification medium-specific code of the identification card.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the card reading device is configured to decode encoded data read from the identification card to obtain the identification data.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the card reading device is configured to decode encoded data-read from the identification card to obtain a first hash value and a first personal data set, calculate a second hash value based upon a second personal data set, and compares the first hash value to the second hash value.
6. The system of claim 5 wherein the first personal data set is a subset of the second personal data set.
7. The system of claim 1 wherein the card reading device is configured to determine whether the identification data has been manipulated.
8. The system of claim 1 wherein the entrance and the exit each include a revolving door.
9. The system of claim 1 wherein the server is configured to open the exit upon verification of the biometry data with the second biometry data.
10. The system of claim 1 wherein the walkthrough passage is enclosed on its sides.
11. The system of claim 1 wherein the entrance, the walkthrough passage and the entrance are connected when the entrance and the exit are closed in the base position.
12. A method, comprising:
receiving identification data, by decoding encoded data from an identification card, comprising personal data and first biometry data;
determining whether the personal data and the first biometry data have been manipulated;
isolating an individual in a transit gate between an entrance and an exit that are closed in a base position wherein the transit gate has a device to obtain biometry data, and obtaining second biometry data directly from the individual;
comparing the first biometry data to the second biometry data;
comparing the personal data to a list; and
allowing the individual to exit the transit gate only if the individual is not identified on the list.
13. The method of claim 12 further comprising calculating and verifying an identification medium-specific code of an identification card having the identification data.
14. The method of claim 12 further comprising:
decoding encoded data read from an identification card to obtain a first hash value and a first personal data set;
calculating a second hash value based upon a second personal data set; and comparing the first hash value to the second hash value.
15. The method of claim 12 wherein the first personal data set id a subset of the second personal data set.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein if the individual is not identified on the list, causing the exit to change to an open position to allow the individual to exit.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein after verifying the identification data, causing the entrance to change to an open position to allow the individual to enter the transit gate, and causing the entrance to close after the individual has entered the transit gate.
