How To Respond To The Upcoming Trends Affecting Biometrics Adoption

Over the last few years, biometrics have been validated, tested and deployed in large-scale implementations. The industry has gone beyond the days of arguments over accuracy rates, yet the demands from the market place are no less challenging.

Attend this insightful presentation as we examine the trends expected to affect market adoption in the future and discuss ideas on how the industry needs to respond. We will discuss the increasing demands on biometric capture systems, scalable and interoperable backend systems and real-time ID and demonstrate how biometrics play into larger credentialing and enterprise level systems that are becoming more prevalent. Finally, we will look at how the privacy pendulum seems to be swinging back to pre-9/11 sentiments and what that means for our industry in a security-conscious world.

You won't want to miss this thought-provoking presentation!

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

Implementing Biometrics For Non-Technical Users: How Iris Recognition Helped Union Pacific Railroad Track Time And Attendance

Union Pacific Railroad has long been a firm believer in the value of biometrics, but the implementation of an iris recognition system for its Rail Gang workforce was the first iris recognition application for the railroad.

This case study will guide you through Union Pacific's Iris Recognition project - from the early stages of employee acceptance through the product and system configuration, and project implementation. The project was a joint partnership involving Universal Biometric Systems Time and Attendance application combining the core LG Iris iData software platform with iCAM series iris readers.

• The driving factors for biometrics in harsh environments
• How to address customer eye safety concerns
• Critical success factors for working effectively with non-technical end-users

Challenges Of A Biometrics Enterprise Architecture:
Lessons Learned From Building The Biometrics Automated Toolset (BAT) System

As biometric systems evolve into full-fledged enterprise architectures, real challenges involving data sharing, data maintenance, data dissemination, the limitations of storage, synchronization, network bandwidth, processing resources and available technologies introduce constraints that must be considered when planning and designing future capabilities. Many of the lessons learned in designing, implementing and fielding the Biometrics Automated Toolset (BAT) System during the course of the last 7 years provide valuable insights into the trade-offs necessary to offer users in the field the solutions they need to accomplish their missions.

• Implications of data sharing across application and architecture boundaries
• Speed of policy versus speed of development
• Data composition
• Data positioning
• Data evolution
• Biometric template versus biometric sample architectures
• Other topics that must be considered when designing and implementing a biometrics enterprise

How To Coordinate And Complete A Biometric Fingerprinting Background Check On A 20,000 Employee Workforce

In June of 2007 Senate Bill 9 (SB9), also known as the Fingerprinting Bill, was passed by the 80th Legislature of the State Of Texas and signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry. SB9 authorizes and requires expanded criminal history information reviews, including national criminal history background checks based on the submission of fingerprints for most classes of educators and school employees. SB9 creates a criminal history information clearinghouse to facilitate access to that information and to provide updates of any subsequent criminal history.

• Dallas ISD has obtained updated and comprehensive criminal background checks on employees
• These results have helped to apply the district policies more accurately and to address issues with employees whose criminal backgrounds were not available to the district
• A comprehensive background check allows the district to have a workforce that contributes to a safe and secure environment for our students

• Efficiently fingerprint a large number of employees
• Review and address the hits received
• Respond each time a fingerprinted employee is arrested
• Form a committee to review files of employees that return hits that violate policy
• Review and make recommendations to management regarding the action to be taken for those employees whose hits violate policy

Understanding And Preparing For The Future Of National-Scale Multimodal Biometric Systems

The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division provides biometric identification services to over 18,000 local, state and Federal agencies on a daily basis. Their Next Generation Identification (NGI) Program is a large-scale biometrics project that will change the standards of the current FBI Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) allowing for the transition to a multi-biometric system. By upgrading or replacing the existing IAFIS technology, the NGI Program will accommodate increased information processing and sharing demands from local, state, tribal, federal, and international agencies while offering state-of-the-art biometric identification services.

This presentation will discuss the particular capabilities of the NGI program including Advanced Fingerprint Identification Technology, disposition reporting improvements, enhanced IAFIS repository, quality check automation, interstate photo system enhancements, and a national palm print system.

You will also learn strategies to maintain biometric quality and overcome the challenges specific to multi-modal identification.

The Importance Of Biometric Testing: Selecting The Right Biometric For Your Organization

As governments and businesses around the world increasingly rely on biometrics to help secure access, transactions, and identity, there is an equally increasing demand for accurate and unbiased evaluations of biometrics. Since no single biometric technology is suitable for all applications, organizations and programs are more and more dependent on unbiased and reliable testing and evaluation to help them select the best biometric for their specific requirement. This demand is met in a variety of ways, as government agencies, university research labs, for-profit and nonprofit companies have introduced testing capabilities to one degree or another.

1. Technology Testing (algorithm verification)
2. Scenario Testing
3. Operational Testing
