Biometrics 101:
A Step By Step Guide To Understanding Biometric Technology And Its Implementation

This workshop will kick start your learning and provide an introduction to biometric technology and its implementation considerations. You will gain the basic knowledge you will need when considering which biometric technology is best suited for your solution. This will be a comprehensive tutorial on biometric information that you can use throughout the Summit. Whether you are new to biometrics or need to brush up on the latest information, you will enjoy this fast paced workshop.

• A Brief History of Biometric Technologies
• Why Biometrics?
• An Overview of Biometric Technologies
• Tried and True Biometric Solutions
• Biometric Implementation
• Integration and Compatibility
• Deployment Concerns
• Social and Privacy Issues

These topics and many more will be discussed in this three-hour workshop. This workshop is specifically designed for our Fall 2007 Summit attendees and is one you do not want to miss. Sign up today – space is limited to promote an interactive learning environment!

Understanding And Using Biometric Standards

• Data standards, such as CBEFF, ANSI/NIST ITL1-2000/7 and various modality specific data interchange formats
• Interface standards, such as BioAPI, BIAS, EFTS/EBTS, and NIEM
• Security standards, such as X9.84 and ACBio
• Standards for integrating biometrics and smart cards
• Standards body activities and projects

WORKSHOP LEADER: Catherine J. Tilton is the VP for Standards & Emerging Technologies at Daon. a leading provider of identity assurance software products focused on meeting the needs of governments and commercial organizations worldwide.

She is very active in the development of national and international biometric standards, currently serving as the US head of delegation to ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37 subcommittee on biometrics. She also chairs the BioAPI Consortium, is the international representative for INCITS M1 technical committee on biometrics, and chairs the M1 Ad Hoc Group on Biometrics in e-Authentication. She is the technical editor of the BioAPI within ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37 WG2 as well as a new project there called "BioAPI Lite." She currently chairs the BIAS Integration technical committee at OASIS.

Cathy has over 25 years of engineering and management experience, including over 14 years in the biometrics industry. She has lead or been involved in the design, development, and deployment of numerous biometric systems in both the commercial and government domains. These include the US-VISIT program, the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC), and in a previous life, IAFIS. She is an active participant in the Registered Traveler Interoperability Consortium (RTIC) and contributed to the interoperability specifications for this program. Past work also included several contracts prototyping the use of biometrics with the DoD CAC card.

She has a BS in nuclear engineering from Mississippi State and an MS in systems engineering from Virginia Tech.
