Boston logan International airportBiometric security devices – applications and lessons learned William J. Hall, PSP Manager, Access Control Systems Massachusetts Port Authority
Present Deployment • > 500 Bioscrypt V-Station Readers (ANSI-377) • Three factor authentication • Custom firmware providing integration with ACS to support Card Holder operated “Timed Over-Ride” functionality • Offline device performing “One to One” authentication of biometric template • Maintained through existing Service Agreement with ACS Integrator
Biometrics – Design Considerations When presented with current Biometric technologies several factors should be considered. ACS vs PIV applications may limit choices Online vs Offline Readers can impact ID credentials as well as infrastructure cabling. ACS integration can provide 3 factor authentication at designated portals.
Implementation of Biometric Devices • Following Biometric technology selection it is critical to manage and test the enrollment process to ensure that templates are secure and operational • Work with systems Integrator to determine what level of integration, if any is being considered • Consider the benefits of an “Online” device
Service and Maintenance for the Long Term • Identify whenever possible High Traffic Portals where Biometric devices will be deployed. • Consider the time necessary to allow for “Shift Changes” and the impact of delay • Plan to fund and manage repairs. Develop a close relationship with the manufacturer. • Look ahead for the next product. Your needs may change and so will the technology.
