How To Provide A Highly Secure And Cost-Effective Biometrics Solution For Your Organization

Pearson VUE, the global leader in electronic testing for regulatory and certification boards, has pioneered a number of security technologies since launching their wholly-owned and operated test center network, the Pearson Professional Centers, in 2002. Their goal has always been to provide the highest levels of test center quality and security.

The recent implementation of palm vein recognition technology has allowed Pearson VUE to move toward one-to-many comparisons at a speed that is conducive to a large-scale, global testing operation. In addition, the palm vein system provides a highly secure and cost-effective solution without the criminal connotations that can be associated with fingerprint technology.

• The benefits it provides over other biometric applications
• How to coordinate the acceptance of the technology from internal users, clients and testing center staff
• How to overcome the challenges of implementing a palm vein recognition system in your own organization

How To Implement Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Biometric Readers As Part Of A Physical Access Control System (PACS)

Security professionals with the responsibility for implementing the TWIC program at the grass roots level and the integrators/installers who support them are experiencing a great deal of confusion with exactly how to execute TWIC as part of a Physical Access Control System (PACS).

• The methods acceptable to access the information available on the TWIC card
• How to interface the TWIC biometric readers with existing physical access control systems
• The operational procedures that had to be established to enable Port security to get the most use and information from the TWIC card
• How the port implemented TWIC readers at different locations to meet the requirements of both the U.S. Coast Guard and local security organizations

How To Provide Secure, Multi-Factor Identity Verification For Handheld Devices: Avoiding The Cost And Disruption Of Implementing New Devices

Strong two-factor authentication is needed when accessing any sensitive resource (e.g. computer resources, server or application) in the enterprise. A current implementation of strong two-factor authentication includes smart cards with digital certificates for desktop access. This approach works for users with respect to internal access at conventional PCs, however additional challenges are involved when an organization has personnel that need to gain access to sensitive applications that are served on handheld devices (e.g. PDAs).

Northrop Grumman needed to provide secure, multi-factor identity verification for applications that run on handhelds. Key application requirements were to use biometrics for verification and to avoid the costs and disruption of having to discontinue use of their existing handheld devices. These requirements dictated a solution that would perform the identity verification externally to the handheld and then communicate standard credentials to it via an available communication channel.

Their solution was to employ a self-contained biometric token with wireless communications. The biometric-enabled token performs local identity verification of the authorized user and then communicates with the existing handheld by transmitting an X.509 certificate via an encrypted secure Bluetooth connection between the token and the handheld. This approach met the requirements of the application and eliminated the need to replace handheld units.

• An overview of the access control challenges unique to the use of handheld devices
• An understanding of the capabilities of self contained biometric identity verification hardware
• An actual demonstration of the process as it applies to a daily user of the system

How A Major Retailer Streamlined The In-Store Experience And Enhanced Security Using Fingerprint Biometrics

AT&T's Strategy and Innovations group knew that one of the most frustrating aspects of any busy retail store is the lines that inevitably form at stationary Point-of-Sale terminals performing check out.

Utilizing BIO-key's fingerprint biometric platform, AT&T retail staff authenticates to the network and their POS applications using just a swipe of their finger on the tablet's built in scanner. Any rep from any store can pick up any tablet, swipe their finger, and be immediately authenticated. Despite raising the authentication bar to the highest level – who you are – the retail users strongly prefer the BIO-key authentication method, because it makes the login process easier, with nothing to carry, remember, or lose. At the same time, AT&T is assured that only senior staff can approve overrides, since the biometric credential cannot be shared or stolen.

The AT&T Mobility Team continues to be a pioneering organization in developing and implementing innovative applications and integrated solutions for businesses and consumers. In this session, you will learn how AT&T and BIO-key were able to streamline retail delivery, improve customer experiences, and reduce password & token maintenance overhead - all while improving overall system integrity.

• Plan, build and implement a mobile solution that integrates fingerprint biometrics to enable a superior customer experience
• Address employee privacy concerns
• Meet the stringent PCI compliance requirements on remote or wireless devices processing credit card data
• Improve overall system security and staff response time while reducing ongoing maintenance costs associated with resetting passwords or token issuance
• Successfully deliver a biometric security solution from concept to retail deployment in a short amount of time

How Vascular Biometrics Reduced The Threat Of Lost Profits In A Multi-Site Organization Network

Club Fitness implemented 24hr access to its members in January 2007 by implementing prox cards. As the number of 24hr facilities was expanded, the company started to notice a problem with card sharing, or buddy punching. This was certainly disconcerting and the club management system had no solutions in place.

Working with Communications Supply Corporation (CSC), Club Fitness set out to find a third party solution that would integrate with their current setup. The solution needed to be one that both members and employees could use, was foolproof, and could be used outdoors. After considering the benefits and challenges of fingerprint and iris scanners, Club Fitness decided on Identica’s vascular biometrics solution. The vascular system was able to be quickly integrated with their initial setup and has grown to multi-site deployment over the past two years.

• Implement vascular biometrics for use by the mass population
• Run a network of multi-site deployments with a central command location
• Integrate vascular biometrics with your current system and allow for a tighter set of controls

Logical And Physical Convergence: How To Streamline Authentication, Identification And Authorization By Incorporating Smartcards In Your Organization

With the ever-increasing focus on security and protecting an organization's assets, physical, human and intellectual, organizations are seeking converged security approaches that address both physical and logical security measures.

Unisys has taken action by implementing new identification standards corporate-wide that make use of smart card technology. The current Smartcard enables access into multiple disparate systems to achieve single sign-on to many of the worldwide systems that an individual has access to, eliminating the need for multiple passwords.

• The model, why it worked and how it's been used successfully around the world
• How to maximize and optimize stronger authentication capabilities for enhanced security and greater efficiency
