Towards a Common Biometric RD Agenda

• What is the public requirement?
• What is industry willing to fund on its own?
  (Clear ROI)
• Where are the gaps that need/must be filled with
  government funds?
• How do we collectively leverage public and
  private investments across multiple applications?
• How do disparate RD programs within government
  integrate into a common agenda?

Decision Framework
4
Key Challenges For Government and Industry

• RD efforts should facilitate
• Adoption of standards-based approaches/
  applications
• Interoperability of systems
• Delivering on large-scale launches
• High reliability
• Dealing with demanding operational environments
• Long lifecycle on equipment and systems
• Address more than one public problem (ideally)

5
US Biometric Challenge Document

• Published in August 2006
• Guiding document to government and industry in
  pursuit of meaningful technological innovation
• Provide framework for agency budget proposals
• Defines Federal Role in Biometrics Research
• Assist in the identification of priorities
• Invest in cutting edge basic research
• Accurately and clearly describe government needs
• Cross-agency planning and effective
  procurement/testing processes
• Primary Challenges
• Improve collection devices research on biometric
  sensors
• Develop more efficient large-scale biometric
  systems
• Establish standards for plug-and-play performance
• Enable informed debate on use of biometrics and
  privacy concerns

L SCAN Guardian 10-print device

• The Joint Agency User Group DHS, DoS, NIJ, DoD,
  BFC, NIST sponsored a Challenge to Industry
  .to provide 10 print capture devices and
  software meeting the processing time and size
  requirements AND meeting FBI and Industry format
  and quality requirements within the next 12
  months to support the critical mission needs of
  the user community, and specifically, to meet the
  aggressive mission requirements of DHS.
• Cross Match accepted the challenge and in 5
  months created the scanner and the software-
  Guardian- designed to the specifications of the
  User Group. It was certified on March 23 to meet
  the FBI requirements for Appendix F and N for ID
  flats and also traditional type 4 Rolls.

L SCAN Guardian 10-print device

• First of new generation of Cross Match Products
• Designed to meet US Joint Agency User Group
  Requirements
• Internal product development
• Fully standards- based
• Appendix F (FBI) Certified
• Manufactured on a common platform in
• US and Germany
• Already in use around throughout the world
• Almost half of product sales outside US

Towards an EU Biometric Research Agenda

• 7th Framework Program
• 53.2 Billion total from 2007-2013
• 1.4 Billion for Security Research
• Preparatory Action for Security Research (PASR)
• Enhancement of the European industrial potential
  in the field of Security Research 2004-2006 45
  million Euros
• Elaborate a vision for a future EU Security RDT
  program
• First time the Commission used EU funding to
  support security technology -- a larger-scale
  version of many of the PASR themes can be found
  in the FP-7

9
EU Research Priorities Sample Projects

• BioTesting Europe
• framework for a European network of testing
  laboratories for performance and interoperability
  testing and security evaluation of biometric
  systems
• Funded under the EUs FP-6/PASR theme
• Enhancing European Border Security (STABORSEC)
• Better interoperablity of the technologies
  deployed at borders
• Funded under Sixth Framework Programme PASR theme
• EUs Security Research Call 1
• Pushing European industry and governments into
  the domain of collective research spending on
  Homeland Security
• Effectively valued at 175 Million Euros
• Funded by FP-7
