AUTHENTICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AEROSPACE SYSTEMS

Abstract:

An authentication system includes a communication circuit configured to communicate with a remote server and at least one scanning apparatus configured to capture biometric data. The system further includes a controller in communication with the communication circuit and the scanning apparatus. The controller is configured to receive a request for a security authorization and capture the biometric data with the scanning apparatus. The controller is further configured to compare the biometric data to authentication data. The authentication data includes an identification profile configured to authenticate a previously identified individual. The controller is further configured to authenticate the previously identified individual based on the identification profile and communicate a privilege level associated with the identification profile to the air travel device.
