January 20, 2022	DHS/TSA/PIA-051 Travel Document Checker Automation - Digital Identity Technology Pilots The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that aviation passengers verify their identity at TSA checkpoints. Typically, this is accomplished by the presentation of a physical identity document (ID) to the Travel Document Checker Officer. TSA is exploring the acceptance of digital IDs (a digital representation of a passenger’s physical ID on a digital device) to provide passengers with a secure, efficient, and touchless experience. TSA is building on prior efforts that use Credential Authentication Technology (CAT) with Camera and 1:1 facial verification technology (CAT-2), by incorporating a digital ID reader to process digital IDs and matching the information on the digital ID against a live photo taken at the checkpoint and passenger information provided through the Secure Flight program before traveling. TSA is partnering and sharing information with the DHS Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) to evaluate system performance when using digital IDs. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is conducted pursuant to Section 222 of the Homeland Security Act to address privacy risks in the use of digital IDs in the identity verification process at the checkpoint.
