How To Roll Out A Standards-Based Biometric Credential For Up To 1 Million Workers: An Update On The Transportation Worker Identification Credential Program

Mandated by an Act of Congress, the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program is an ambitious government project to provision interoperable and standards-based biometric smart card credentials to up to 1 million civilian maritime workers who require unescorted access to secure areas of the U.S. maritime infrastructure - including port facilities and vessels. The TWIC program is jointly managed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Go behind the scenes for an insider's perspective on the current status of the TWIC program deployment, the specific technologies and standards required, and the steps that facility and vessel operators will need to take to upgrade their access control systems to use the TWIC credential for automated access control.

Anyone considering or working on a biometrics project will get a better understanding of the key issues involved from the lessons learned to date during this large scale biometric implementation.

How To Use Biometrics To Protect Your Customers
From Identity Theft

Identity theft has caused over $48B in damage to enterprises in 2006. This session will show you how to use biometrics to increase security as well as improve convenience to customers, partners and employees.

The Technology Credit Union is one of the first financial institutions to use biometrics technology in a customer facing application to effectively solve the problem of identity theft. This case study will highlight biometric devices placed at the teller stations in the branches, and the end-customers being authenticated by simply placing their finger on the scanner. These forms of authentication are now being extended to the internet as well as other customer touch points as well as to perform more secure employee and partner authentication.

• Choosing the appropriate biometric for the channel and benefits from using a non-proprietary system
• A relevant business case highlighting ROI for the use of authentication/security application
• Customer acceptance and response
• How biometrics is solving the problem of identity theft

How To Use Biometric Technology To Increase Security And Efficiency Within Member-Based Organizations

• Eliminating barcode/cards/PIN numbers and the problems and costs associated with them
• Easing the login process enabling staff to work more efficiently
• Speeding up wait times
• Securing sensitive data
• Preventing member fraud

This session will focus on the City of Las Vegas' deployment of a biometrics solution within their recreation centers. You will learn how the City of Las Vegas has been utilizing biometrics, and what benefits have been realized due to the technology. You will also learn how a biometrics solution can be easy to integrate, deploy, and scale without requiring a significant investment and endless development time. Leave this session with increased knowledge to apply to your own biometric deployment or project.

How To Integrate Biometrics To Protect Your Logical And Physical Assets And Ensure Technology Interoperability

Today, the challenge in identity management is providing integrated enterprise security, access to user identity, profiles, and access permissions to enforce security policies and deliver a “personalized” experience to each user. Effective delivery and management of applications such as: Single Sign-On, Resource Provisioning, Physical and Logical access, etc. require ubiquitous access to user and service profiles.

Interoperability is vital to the functioning of an infrastructure. Imagine if every plug-in for electrical power (think of your laptop) and the voltage sent down each line was different. It would severely limit the adoption and usefulness of electrical power. If you have had to replace a power cord for your laptop you have some idea of just how valuable interoperability can be. Similarly, if the components of the identity infrastructure do not seamlessly interoperate then adoption will be slow and use will be difficult.

HSPD-12 and FIPS 201 compliance can lead you to an integrated physical and logical access control system.

• Choosing the appropriate biometric for the channel
• A relevant business case highlighting ROI for the use of authentication/security application
• Customer acceptance and response
• How HSPD-12 is spearheading an industry revolution in compliant physical and logical access control systems
• Learn how you are no longer “held hostage” by your installed system (any approved product should be interoperable)

Enhancing Airport Security With A Dual Biometric Identification Program: Lessons Learned At Canada's Largest 29 Airports

The Restricted Area Identification Card (RAIC) system consists of a complex network of functionalities that greatly enhances airport security with the use of biometrics. It consists of the RAIC application, enrollment equipment, central infrastructure, biometric readers and associated communications. This program has been implemented at Canada's largest 29 airports. The initial design decisions for the program were made using recommendations provided by the Enhanced Restricted Area Pass Working Group that consisted of aviation industry representatives, Unions, CATSA, and Transport Canada. This is the first system in the world that has dual biometrics on one card and interfaces with over 18 airport access control systems.

• Project and Program - do's and don'ts
• The phased roll-out of this large-scale project - what worked and what to avoid
• How the development and deployment of biometrics is improving security

How To Use Facial Recognition In The Casino To Stop Crime And Improve Security

Casinos worldwide can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars to gambling cheats. Recognizing a known cheat as fast as possible is critical to the protection of a casino. In this session, the use of biometric facial recognition in the casino will be discussed.

The ability to detect a gambling cheat quickly will often determine what cheating methods are being used and the most effective methods to employ to stop it. Biometrics in the form of Facial Recognition is used in a number of casinos to detect these individuals in their various disguises and camouflage. This case study illustrates how facial recognition is used in the casinos, its accuracy and lessons learned.
