Problem statementProblem statement
An original approach combining advanced tracking technology and juridical considerations
Based on the fact that Europe is an integrated area with uniform rules applicable to and by all member
Technology cannot be deployed when civil liberty are at stake there is a need for juridical study
Justification and interest of RFID Justification and interest of RFID in civil aviation in civil aviation
Our juridical overview led us to undertake several point of interest justifying the potential recourse to such technology
Airport and airline operating constraintsEnhanced security procedures Passengers economical rightsA non optimized system with regard to delays, loss of luggage and capacity deficiency
RFID could address these challenges
Presentation of RFID technologiesPresentation of RFID technologies
Advanced automatic identification technology
Passive - broadcast identification on interrogation only
Contact less – interrogation over short distance(1 to 2 metres) allowing smart tracking
Highly safe and secure system
Foreseen usesForeseen uses
This technology could be used to solve operating difficulties due to passengers and to their luggage
To do so RFID systems are embedded in:
Boarding pass, to locate passengers in security area until boarding gate
baggage tags, to allow a permanent tracking ofpassengers’ property until aircraft hold

Difficulties linked with RFID implementationDifficulties linked with RFID implementation
The characteristics and use of RFID are threefold:
RFID allows profiling
RFID allows tracking
RFID allows action
These possibilities, whether legitimate or notstresses the need of a juridical framework withregard to certain Rights such as privacy
Juridical principles allowing the use of this technology Juridical principles allowing the use of this technology
Juridical qualifications
An RFID tag containing a unique identification number and, referring to personal data located in the host system
A specific data subject known as the passenger
An identified processor known as the airline. Some other identified actors that could benefit from the RFID tags, identified as the airport operator and handling companies
Information collecting and broadcasting for security and operational purposes
Juridical principles allowing the use of this technologyJuridical principles allowing the use of this technology
Application of the European Directive 95/46 general principles:
Use limitation principle : data must only serve the purposes for which they were collected. It excludes commercial profiling and uses
Data minimization : data shall be limited to the most relevant one.We consider as relevant information the name of passenger, the flight number and name of the airline
Conservation principles : data are kept during a reasonable period
Information of the data subject : information concerning the existence of the system, identification of readers & delimitation of “readable areas”
Legal ground of the system based on contract application

Implementation of specific requirements
Disable functions : The boarding pass is disabled while boarding and the baggage tag is destroyed by the passenger after claiming his luggage. Information shall be provided to give him the possibility to render this chip inoperative
Protection of broadcasted content : implementation of Privacy Enhancement Technology (PET)
