3M-AiT

3M-AiT provides a range of solutions for enhanced travel and border security. Our offerings include technologies for secure document issuance, document authentication, traveler authentication, border management and secure network access.

Authentication Solutions

Authenticate travelers and their documents at airports and border control points. Our technologies quickly and easily capture travel data, which can improve entry/exit control and help identify unwanted travelers prior to boarding an aircraft or crossing a border. imPAX is a high resolution, full-page, color document reader used at border points and airport check-in desks to capture an image of a travel or ID document. enTReX is an automated border management system that queries text- and image-based databases to enable real-time identification of travelers of interest to authorities.

Issuance Solutions

Secure the document issuance process, as well as the resulting document itself. Our technologies help ensure that documents are issued only to those who are entitled, that only authorized parties issue secure documents, and that once issued, documents can not be altered or tampered with. GenIE is a software-based system for the issuance of secure documents such as passports, visas, and identity cards. MERYL is a complete process for printing secure documents. 3M TM ConfirmTM Security Laminates protect against counterfeiting, tampering and alteration.

Secure Network Solutions

Allow network access only to those authorized. Our technologies, with a combination of biometrics and cryptography, help maintain the integrity of your network while increasing convenience for users.
