2014 MAY WELL BE THE “Year of the Biometric (Dragon)”
Much will depend on education and acceptance by both the public and private sectors
• Why are biometrics so important right now?
• Because most of our trusted transactions are no longer face-to-face
• Thus, the most traditional form of biometric, our brains using facial recognition to authenticate identity, has been lost

2014 WILL SEE BIOMETRIC STRUGGLES
IN THE US PUBLIC SECTOR...
In the United States, while governments internationally implement biometrics throughout
functions• Commerce Department’s NTIA seeks to create an “enforceable code of conduct” based on misunderstanding of biometrics• Commerce Department’s NIST E-Authentication for cyber access remains dormant since standards published in 2007• DHS remains at standstill, losing its cutting-edge • DOD is bogged down in red tape• Intelligence community is quietly integrating biometrics into the entire watchlist process, realizing that name based systems are wholly inadequate• Congress seeks repeal of key 9/11 Commission biometric recommendations (immigration reform)• Congress with few exceptions is generally uneducated and uninterested• Florida seeks to ban biometrics in schools

2014 WILL SEE BIOMETRIC STRUGGLES
IN THE US PUBLIC SECTOR... BUT THEY ARE SURMOUNTABLE
• How do we get Congress and states to go from red and yellow lights to green lights on biometric innovations? • State DMVs and law enforcement communities on board with biometrics, but in the civil authorities, like education, the response varies greatly)• EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT
• How do we get the Executive Branch to go from red and yellow lights to green lights on biometric innovations?• Commerce Dept NTIA/NIST• DHS• DOD• INNOVATORS MUST TAKE INITIATIVE TO
CREATE SOLUTIONS AND PRESENT TO GOVT; NO LONGER WILL INNOVATIONS BE FUNDED BY GOVT FULLY

• Consumers will dig receiving more convenience and privacy because they will increasingly control not just access to data, but the data itself
