  2. CBP Iris Pilot:Fingerprints alone are not enough Biometrics are critical for law enforcement • Fingerprints are the most frequently used for identification purposes • Can be worn down over time • Intentionally damaged to avoid identification • Fingerprint alteration cases have increased since 2006 • Iris is becoming more widely used in US government databases for identification purposes • Unique and changes very little with age • Provides more unique matching features for quick identification • Still has drawbacks—diseases of the eye can cause pupil damage and changes Using more than one biometric increases the likelihood of an accurate identification

  3. CBP Iris Pilot:Multi-Modal Biometrics Increase Security • Border Patrol currently collects 10 rolled fingerprints & facial photo • Search & enroll against IDENT database (OBIM) • Search & enroll against IAFIS (FBI/CJIS) • Search against ABIS database (DOD) • Iris Pilot adds multi-modal biometrics for the best possible identification and verification • Fingerprints • Iris • High-quality photographs • Iris Pilot currently in use at one of the busiest Border Patrol Stations • Increases accuracy of identification • Enables vetting with multiple sources • Improves reporting & metrics—better decision making

  4. CBP Iris Pilot:Collaborative, Scalable, and Transferable Fully scalable solution to be deployed nationwide • GOTS solution can be applied to other agencies • Building a multi-modal biometric database • Collecting high-resolution facial images for futureuse • Valuable to users across government • Enable more rapid and accurate identification • Multiple agency interfaces • OBIM • DOD Biometrics Identity Management Agency (BIMA) • FBI Next Generation Identification (NGI)

  5. Risk & Novelty Efficiency & Effectiveness • Biometrics are critical—dependency on one type is not sufficient • Multi-modal biometrics provide the best coverage for identification & verification • Many agencies use biometrics—very few combine multiple typesto increase accuracy • First of its kind in use at DHS • Increases accuracy of identification • Reduces cost—can be repeated and used by other programs • Improves collaboration—enables vetting with multiple sources • Improved reporting & metrics—better decision making Collaboration & Engagement Transferability & Scalability • Collaborative effort—DHS, DOD, FBI, and Dev Technology Group • Multiple agency interfaces—OBIM, DOD Biometrics Identity Management Agency (BIMA), FBI Next Generation Identification (NGI) • Supports HSPD 24—improved screening protects against known and suspected terrorists • Fully scalable solution will be deployed nationwide • GOTS solution can be applied to other agencies • Multi-modal biometric data is valuable to users across government • Standards based—NIST and NIEM provide a common language
