ENTRY-EXIT SYSTEM SCOPE, API/PNR CAPABILITY WEAKNESS

Abstract

The practical recommendations for the application of Advance Passenger Information and Passenger Name Record System (API / PNR) were described in the article with the aim to use such system as a counteracting cross-border threats tool. Biometrics establishes a strong link between a document and its holder only if all electronic security features (signatures) are reviewed. That is the critical point of all system. Many EU countries don’t have Public key infrastructure in place and can’t use the mentioned security functions. There no joint EU system. Only ICAO has a commercial Public key directory, which provides PKI functions to some countries. Specific digital algorithms know and do many things better, like people, and can make a significant improvement. The order of actions for system implementing is proposed. He will be responsible for Risk assessment, Biometric verification accuracy, and Document verification. It is mandatory to improve data management, mostly to cover all fields and flows of data. Improve legislation related to data management for the mentioned purpose and GDPR. Besides, we have to invest more in automatic border control systems infrastructure. It is mandatory to centralize Public Key Infrastructure and Certificates master list management and validation. All measures will increase public security and save innocent lives from cross border crimes.
