Abstract: Currently, In most of the Airports in India, airline tickets and passenger identity proof are checked manually at the
airport entry gate which can lead to the generation of illegitimate passenger migrations. Many individuals may generate fake
identities on airline tickets for bad intentions work, leading to threats for the country. To overcome this problem, we are
implementing a system in which the personal identity of an individual will be verified before he/she proceeds for booking and the
airline ticket will be verified digitally at the airport entry gate. The process will have an Airline ticket that will consist of a QR
code which will be MD5 Encrypted, for ticket validation. The same QR code will be scanned and verified by a secured android
app at the airport entry gate by security executives, which will be directly linked with Airline databases. Once the scanning and
decryption of the QR code are done, the airline ticket details (PNR) of the passengers will be cross verified with the database,
which will confirm whether the ticket is genuine or not. Through this implementation, we can overcome many problems such as
fake tickets/ identity time consumption, security anxieties, and many illegal migrations.

I. INTRODUCTION
People with fake e-tickets have emerged because of the new threat to Old Delhi airport security with thirty such persons being in
readmission within fourteen months. The safety at the Indira Nehru Gandhi International airport is at most alert within the wake of
the capital of Belgium terror attack and multiple hoax bomb calls received virtually daily. The tickets aren't checked at the entry
gates and passengers solely need to show a print-out in conjunction with an identification document. Most of this was caught with
tickets that were nabbed once they were exiting the building. several of them couldn't provide convincing reasons for going out once
stopped by the safety personnel. it's then that their tickets were checked and located to pretend and were fake. during this case, we
might have detected that it had been dangerous for the aviation system; it will damage the airport security and management system,
therefore we tend to Implement this project to eradicate this disadvantage from the system.
V. WORKING METHODOLOGY
The methodology is implementing the Encrypted QR Code concept on airline tickets for a seamless and digitalized verification
process. The QR Code on the airline ticket will consist of the PNR Number used for verification. when the user will log in, before
he can book the tickets, he will need to verify his identity by entering his UID first, which shall be cross verified with the
government database and validate whether the passenger is authenticated or not. After successful validation, he can proceed to book
the tickets, and post-booking, an encrypted QR Code consist of PNR number will be generated on the airline ticket which can be
printed. As the QR code is encrypted, it won’t be scanned by any regular QR Code scanner app available in the market, as it will be
in encrypted form rendered on the ticket. The passenger will take the QR code printed booking ticket or screenshot of it with him
and show it to the airport official at the airport entry gate. The airport official will scan the QR Code on the booking ticket with a
specialized and secured android application. This Android application will decrypt the QR Code and fetch all the information from
it i.e the PNR number. After fetching the number, the application will redirect it to a page, where the PNR will be cross verified
with the airline database and the airport departure control system for the correct check-in time of the passenger, and hence, the
booking ticket will be verified. In the above stage, if the concern detail i.e the PNR is validated, then the application will notify the
same and so the passenger will get entry into the airport.

X. CONCLUSION
By using the Encrypted QR code technique for verification and authentication, we can upgrade our Airport Security System to a
more advanced level. Applying this Security System, verification and authentication become trustworthy. Using Encrypted QR code
technologies for security purposes is reliable and highly accurate. By implementing this system we can overcome many severe
crimes like Identity document forgery, Human trafficking, etc. This system will facilitate paperless travel and avoid identity checks
at multiple points. This shall also help the aviation system to eradicate various issues such as terrorism threats to passenger security
as well as aviation security. Overall this project also helps the smooth functioning and smooth flow of passenger entry verification
process with less human intervention and error and in a more fast way. Overall this shall help the country to keep control of security
and threats which can be faced by the country or the airport system.
