Digital passports – the future is now
SITA and Indicio have exciting news to announce regarding the future of travel ID technology. The two companies have collaborated to develop and distribute a cutting-edge digital travel ID, and have successfully tested the technology for crossing borders. This new app-based ID technology has been deemed a welcomed solution for border authorities, as its credential wallet pulls data from passport chips, eliminating the need for paper documents and reducing the time it takes to clear passengers through customs and immigration by a staggering 90%.
With interest in open-source and decentralised identity technology building momentum worldwide, the success of SITA and Indicio’s project is sure to make waves in emerging markets. The innovative app is designed to protect users’ personal information by storing all data on their personal server, embodying a decentralised system. In recognition of the technology’s potential for revolutionising travel ID, SITA and Indicio have entered into a co-innovation agreement to develop and deploy this cutting-edge technology.
