TRAVERI biometric kiosks in an immigration hall
Biometric travel verification / Vietnam pilot

From hours
to seconds.The foreigner lane, designed end to end and shown in full. Nothing here is deployed yet, and this page will tell you exactly what that means.

Vietnam's biometric lanes serve its citizens. India's serve Indians. The foreign arrivals in the hall, 15.9 million of them this year, stand in the manual line. TRAVERI is the system built for them.

Status: design and pilot proposal. No kiosks built. No certifications held.

Where this stands

The split, in the open. Our security reviewers set this standard: a name only goes on what survives diligence.

Live today

Real, and checkable

  • TRAVERI pitch page and lead capture into the Biz Dev App CRM
  • XODIAK ledger and attestation layer, event log and issuer records running
  • xodiak.net identity pages
  • xSECURITYx hardening work inside the Biz Dev App
  • Vietnam market and standards research, verified against public sources
Designed

On paper, in full

  • Kiosk and e-gate from proven, certified off the shelf components
  • Pre-enrollment tied to the mandatory Digital Arrival Card
  • Sovereign in-country processing on ROSE edge compute
  • Officer review and referral workflow in Gov OS
  • The full dossier: architecture, BOM, budget, compliance gates
Not yet

Not claimed

  • No kiosk hardware built, no units in any market
  • No biometric capture running in production
  • No certifications held today. FIDO, iBeta, and SOC 2 are gates ahead
  • No Vietnam contract or ministry approval yet
  • A pilot happens only after a ministry says yes
Correction. The earlier pitch page says "ISO 30107 liveness certified" and "standards certified." That is not true today. Certification is a paid gate in this plan, and the page copy is being corrected to match.

The kiosk, taken apart

An integration, not an invention claim. Every module is a component class you can buy today. Our work is the architecture, the integration, and the operation.

Seven decisions, all buyable

Tap any module on the plate. Each one is a standard component class with certified vendor options, the same discipline as the ROSE panel BOM: formal quotes at prototype procurement, nothing invented, nothing bespoke where a proven part exists.

The lane, as a floor plan

Three paths through the hall. The third one matters as much as the first two: nobody is forced into biometrics, ever.

Three travelers

Pick a path. The third traveler is the promise this system is judged by.

1

Before the flight. Passport scanned in the app, chip read over NFC, selfie taken once. A FIDO2 passkey binds the credential to the phone. The Digital Arrival Card completes in the same flow.

2

At the gate. Face matches the enrollment selfie and the passport chip photo, with liveness. Templates are compared, then deleted.

3

Through. The e-gate opens. An officer sees the cleared event on screen, with an audit trail behind it.

4

Recorded as a hash. XODIAK stores the attestation bundle hash and the verdict. No face, no fingerprint, no passport image ever touches the ledger.

1

Lands unenrolled. Signs in the hall and staff point to the kiosk row. Nothing was required before the trip.

2

At the kiosk. Passport into the reader, chip verified, camera captures face and one fingerprint with liveness, in the traveler's language.

3

Consent, plainly. What is stored, where, and for how long, stated before a thumb is offered. Declining routes to the manual lane with no penalty and no second pitch.

4

Same gate. Cleared at the e-gate on this trip, and enrolled for the next one.

1

No app, no kiosk, no account. The traveler walks past the fast lane to the staffed booths, exactly as today.

2

An officer does the whole check by hand, document and questions, the current process unchanged.

3

Nothing biometric is captured. No template exists because none was created. There is nothing to delete and nothing to leak.

4

The lanes stay staffed. The pilot funds the manual lane alongside the fast lane. The choice is permanent, not a launch gimmick.

05

The pattern is global

Every country that built biometric lanes built them for its own citizens first. The foreigner lane is open everywhere, and it is the harder, more valuable build.

Vietnam / VNeID

Citizens only, by design

Biometric lanes at Tan Son Nhat, Da Nang, and Noi Bai authenticate against the national citizen database. Foreigners have no record in it, so they are processed manually, while arrivals climb past 15.9 million in eight months.

India / DigiYatra

Same wall, bolted-on fix

DigiYatra and DigiLocker were built citizens-first on Aadhaar. Foreigners were added years later through on-arrival kiosk enrollment, with biometric data deleted after 24 hours and re-enrollment on every trip. It works, and it shows the cost of not designing for foreigners from the start.

The opening

A native foreigner lane

Decision 1830/QD-TTg, September 2026, opened formal cross-border identity pilots, first with Singapore and Laos. TRAVERI is designed for exactly this frame: a persistent, consent-based credential for foreign travelers, run on Vietnam's terms, with biometrics processed in country.

06

Under the floor

Tap a layer. Most of this exists today inside the Biz Dev App platform. The pilot is wiring, not invention.

07

Compliance is a set of gates

Nothing reaches an airport until each gate passes, in order. This matrix is also the pilot's quality plan and the diligence file, in one table.

Who stands behind the security

The arrangement our security reviewers approved, stated the way they approved it.

"We are aligned with a security group that has shipped national-scale identity systems, and they can deploy with us the moment there is a real opportunity."

That sentence is the whole public claim, and it is true. The bench behind it: specialists whose shipped work includes widely used authentication technology and national scale security programs, with penetration testing run at a level that beat major platform vendors in head to head evaluation.

They are engaged under a discipline they set: diligence first, penetration testing before production, no names attached until the work survives both. When the pilot reaches that gate, the names arrive with the test results. Their caution is the credential.

Chief Architect Officer: Bill Mercer, Biz Dev App.

Bill leads the integration: the Biz Dev App platform, XODIAK attestations, ROSE sovereign compute, and the Gov OS officer console. Every layer of that stack runs today, and every gap in it is listed on this page.

TRAVERI is one operator with one system, designed so a ministry can audit every claim on it. Start at the top of this page: the status ledger is the pitch.
