InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft is collaborating with security software provider Saflink to target the U.S. travel industry with a secure traveler program, Saflink announced Thursday.
The companies have been working together over the past 10 months to develop capabilities for the program and are almost ready to approach government bodies with their proposal, the security firm said.
The initiative, which is intended to be a privatized version of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Registered Traveler program, aims to use enterprise software from Microsoft and biometric security tools to screen and verify the identity of travelers.
