Biometric Identification Verification Technology Status and Feasibility Study
Abstract
DoD cost and personnel reductions drive requirements for an entry/ access control system capable of identifying and verifying the identity of persons with a high degree of confidence and without a man in the decision loop. Operational Performance Requirements (OPR) were assembled from the SOW and Service requirements documents. An extensive search for biometric information in the DTIC and NTIS databases was conducted. The capabilities of biometric identification systems available on the market and in known R&D programs were verified wherever possible by independent tests and evaluations. Technologies included were fingerprint, palm print, hand geometry, signature, voice, retina scan, facial recognition and iris scan. The study found no system, technology or methodology which can currently meet all of the objectives and requirements specified in the SOW. Of all the technologies/systems under development, only the IriScan process appears capable, with further development, of meeting the desired objectives and OPRs.
