The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) publicly congratulated its long-time partner, Daon, last week for its role in developing digital authentication technology that Visa will use to help consumers worldwide pay and bank securely.

Specifically, Daon developed Visa’s new ID Intelligence technology that enables clients to use biometric data such as their eyes, faces, fingerprints, and voices to create simpler authentication for an enhanced security experience.

“For more than a decade, AAAE has partnered with Daon to drive innovation in the airport environment through the Transportation Security Clearinghouse and the initial Registered Traveler program, to the tremendous benefit of our airport members and their customers in the traveling public,” AAAE President and CEO Todd Hauptli said.

Hauptli said Visa’s selection of Daon to provide ID Intelligence biometric authentication services further validates the company’s expertise in providing and enhancing security in both the private and public sectors.

“AAAE continues to aggressively pursue innovative approaches to help our airport members successfully navigate the challenges, opportunities, and disruptions that emerge almost daily in today’s fast-changing world,” Hauptli said. “We are committed to running at full-speed to better serve airports, and I am confident that we will continue to find great success thanks to the outstanding partnerships that we enjoy with great companies like Daon.”
