EINSTEIN: High TRL solutions in secure ID Management and Transportation
18 Mar 2026
Room 7
Day 2 - Aviation security and facilitation
An innovative Horizon Europe ID project to improve security through a portfolio of linked high TRL solutions, currently at 2/3 of its 3-year activity.
Einstein aims at delivering 6 applications essential to fight identity frauds across the entire ID management domain:
• Online ID issuance with real-time biometric quality checks and fraud detection,
• Mobile document and identity checks using smartphones,
• Advanced document authentication module,
• Pre-registration for biometric land-border crossing,
• EES kiosk with advanced fraud detection,
• Automatic multi-biometric walk-trough corridor.
High TRL products are being qualified through iterative field tests by the Consortium's border forces representatives.
- Pre-agreed use cases KPIs converged through iterative test processes to high operational product TRLs, as rated by border forces during field tests
- Ensuring high TRLs for product solutions ultimately means delivering a better service to the travellers while also meeting border forces requirements
- The entire portfolio of Einstein's apps. did benefit from the iterative performance field border forces evaluation, ultimately leading to high TRLs
- Privacy-by-design of all solutions with national and European legislation (including AI Act) on data protection is key to ensure field acceptance
- Future evolution of such European innovation projects must also comply with future breakthroughs of AI technologies for legal and societal boundaries
