Clear picks Oberthur for smartcards

Smartcard provider Oberthur Technologies has been selected to provide its ID-One PIV smartcard to members of Clear, Alclear's Trusted Traveller programme. Clear offers members speed and predictability through airport security by partnering with airports to provide a designated Clearlane at security checkpoints. Members present their Clearcards, manufactured by Oberthur Technologies, which feature encrypted biometrics including fingerprints and iris images. By matching their fingerprints or iris images to the information on the card, the Clear member's identity is verified.
