Update on the US Government's Biometric Consortium

Abstract

This talk is an update on the discussions of the Biometric Authentication Consortium held at previous CardTech/SecurTech conferences. The Consortium held its first meeting in October 1992 under the chairmanship of Dr. Benincasa. Since then, the Consortium has been meeting 2-3 times per year to provide a forum for information exchange on biometric-based personal identification/authentication technology among the Government, industry, and academia. In 1994, we broadened our scope by dropping Authentication from the name (to include identification) and Dr. Campbell and Ms. Alyea took over as chair and vice chair, respectively. The goals of the consortium remain largely the same under this new leadership. The current emphasis is on the formal approval of our charter and on the establishment of a national biometric test and evaluation laboratory.
