Establishes FBI Science & Technology Branch biometric and identity management partnering with other agencies incorporating other biometric systems

Goals:– Provide “One Stop Shopping” for biometric services – Promote system interoperability– Drive technology– Leverage academic research– Develop real-world application and training for new

biometric technologies– Lead standards development, testing and certification for

biometrics

BCOE - Overview BCOE - Overview

• 10 month State-of-the-Art Biometrics Roadmap (SABER) Study – initiated on 09/12/2007 to identify emerging biometric technologies

– The strategy and details for training of new NGI biometric modalities plus a framework for establishing a Certification Program (products and personnel)

– Partnerships with other agencies, academia, and independent laboratories in the context of a BCOE

• Signed a Cooperative Agreement with West Virginia University (WVU) in February 2008 establishing WVU as the academic arm of the BCOE

• Recently awarded a contract to Booz Allen Hamilton to develop the concept for the BCOE

Interoperability - Interim Data Sharing Model (iDSM)Interoperability - Interim Data Sharing Model (iDSM)

15

As of 05/09/2008, over 2 million fingerprint submissions were processed against the DHS provided data within iDSM, with nearly 470 positive identifications since September 2006

In October 2008:– Participating Interoperability agencies will have access to full

IDENT gallery, rather than a subset of data that currently exists with iDSM

– Basic immigration identity information (including a photograph) will be returned along with the immigration status response from the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC)

Shared Data Component – Each agency provides access to copy of “high priority” fingerprint records for other agency’s search process

Shared Services Component – Each agency submits fingerprint transactions to the other agency for search of that agency’s complete data utilizing a mutually defined service level agreement

Interoperability - Composite ModelInteroperability - Composite Model

Basic functionality of the Composite Model– Increase IDENT searches of IAFIS data

throughout the services framework• CBP Pilot and DOS

– Initiate IAFIS searches of IDENT data throughout the services framework

• Participating agencies will gain access to entire IDENT repository
