The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Credential Authentication Technology-Boarding Pass Scanner System (CAT/BPSS), which will allow a user to identify fraudulent identifications and boarding passes. Most legitimate forms of identification issued today, including such IDs as passports and driver’s licenses, include some form of encoded data that is written into the article by the issuing authority in one or more widely accepted formats. The most common formats include one and two dimensional barcodes, magnetic stripes, embedded circuits, and machine readable text. Radio Frequency Identification is also growing in popularity as a format. One contract is expected to be awarded by Aug. 12. Sol. No. HSTS04-09-R-CT2017. Respond by April 23.
