BCOE - Overview
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
10
BCOE - Development
• 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

NGI
• Protest resolved – relaunch project on
06/06/2008
• Privacy Threshold Analysis – 4 Components

• The Repository for Individuals of Special Concern
(RISC) Operational Prototype has been accepting
submissions from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension to test functionality (not returning
results to officers at this time)
– Minnesota statistics from 11/16/2007 to 04/30/2008:
Total Submissions:
53,608

Interoperability - Interim Data
Sharing Model (iDSM)
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
15
(LESC)
Interoperability - Composite Model
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
16
Interoperability Initial Operating Capability
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
17
Interoperability Full Operating Capability
Full Operating Capability will be achieved
through NGI development contract
– External Biometric Search Capability
– External Repository Record Link
– Enhance IAFIS to Support Interoperability
18
N-DEx
• Operational – 03/19/2008
• First search query by the state of Delaware –
03/25/2008
• User data will continue to be loaded
• Award Increment 2 (option year 1) contract to
Raytheon – 03/01/2008 with design, develop,
deliver in 16 months
19
S.A.I.F.E.
Data Sharing Relationships
• Bilateral data sharing agreements with 40+
partner nations
• Advancements in technology and policy
are changing the data sharing landscape
• Acceptance and success of biometrics has
increased law enforcement enrollments,
both nationally and internationally
20
S.A.I.F.E. Benefits
• Provide both IT infrastructure and
intelligent business processes to facilitate
multilateral data sharing
• Architecture will allow nations to control
own data and partner nations to search
their holdings
• Expand law enforcement model that has
proven successful in the states
