Airside workforce credentials
Prove your crew is current, the moment they work
Your airside operation spans employees, contractors, and MRO crews, each carrying authorizations and currencies from different authorities. Give every person a digital credential they carry themselves, then confirm who they are and whether every authorization is current, on the spot, at any gate, door, or sign-off. When one lapses, access stops. Every check leaves a record you can show an insurer.
The challenge
One trust layer for every employer on your site
You’re managing a multi-employer workforce inside one secured perimeter, and every person on site carries certifications from different authorities. Paper and plastic badges can’t confirm who someone is, whether a clearance is current, or whether it’s been revoked. Indicio Proven gives each worker a digital badge: a cryptographically-signed credential, tied to the worker and their own device, verified in seconds at any gate, door, or login.
Privacy by design. The biometric that locks each credential stays on the worker’s own device. You verify people without ever storing their biometrics, so there’s no central database to breach or misuse.
How it works
How airside workforce credentials work, from onboarding to the aircraft
Issue at onboarding
Issue each person an identity credential during onboarding, with a biometric captured and kept either on a wearable or on a mobile phone. Authorizations, training records, and background checks arrive as verifiable credentials that fill in enrollment automatically, so no one is retyping data from PDFs.
Set the rules
Each authorization, currency, and clearance (airside zone access, type authorizations, Inspection Authorization, safety and recurrent training) is issued as a separate credential, signed by the authority that grants it. A simple governance file sets which issuers you trust and which zones and tasks each role covers. Access turns on only when the right credentials are present and current.
Verify on the spot
At a gate, door, kiosk, or maintenance sign-off, the person shows their credential. Your verifier confirms it came from a trusted issuer and has not been altered, then runs a quick liveness check against the biometric on the credential. That last step stops borrowed badges, forgeries, and deepfakes.
Connect to your systems
The result drives the access-control system you already run, over standard protocols, so a credential check becomes a door or gate action with no new hardware. Where connectivity is patchy on the ramp, verification works offline over Bluetooth or NFC.
Update and revoke instantly
When an authorization lapses or is pulled, the credential updates or revokes in real time, so it is caught the moment someone badges in or signs off, rather than at the next audit. Because the credential lives on the person's device, you can reissue or revoke it remotely.
What sets it apart
Built for the way airside operations actually run
Liability
A defensible record for every claim
When an aircraft is damaged, the airline′s exposure turns on who was current. Each check leaves a time-stamped, tamper-proof record that the worker's authorizations were valid at the moment and place of the work, so an insurer′s first question is answered with evidence instead of a reconstruction.
Currency
Lapses caught at the point of work
Authorizations, currencies, medicals, and badging each expire on their own clock. The credential reflects a lapse the instant it happens and blocks access on the spot, rather than surfacing at the next audit.
Privacy
No central database of faces
Each person′s biometric stays on their own device and is matched there against their signed credential. You confirm identity without ever holding the biometric, which leaves no central store to breach and keeps GDPR and similar rules far simpler.
Fit
Adds to your badge system, does not replace it
You don't rip anything out. This layer adds verifiable, revocable credentials on top of your current badge and access setup. Existing controls stay, and it fails safe: if a credential can′t be verified, access is denied.
Where it works
One model across airside operations
Any operation that runs a mixed airside workforce and controlled access uses the same approach.
Line maintenance & MRO
Technicians, contractors, and authorizations across hangars and stations.
Ground handling & ramp
A rotating crew across gates, operators, and shifts.
Fueling & de-icing
Task authorizations and safety currencies for restricted work.
Airport authorities
Airside zone and SIDA access with no central biometric store.
Cargo & logistics
Mixed operators moving across airside terminals.
Airlines & fleet operators
One verified identity for crews across airports.
