 EVOLUTION
EVOLUTION HISTORY STANDARDIZATION

1921:US Congress passed an act for a national repository

and clearing house for fingerprint records 1969: FBI roped
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
to study automating of fingerprint identification
1986: NIST and ANSI collaborated to publish a fingerprint
interchange standard. This standard is being used around
the world today
1997: NSA aided in publishing the first commercial
biometric standard focusing on interoperability and vendor
independence
2002: establishment of the International Organization for
Standards (ISO)

INNOVATION
Radical innovations: Completely independent techniques to identify individuals i.e fingerprint, hand images, body measurements, signature, facial recognition etc. over the years
Incremental innovation: Development of Eigenface technique for facial recognition in 1988
Architectural innovation: Automating of facial recognition in the 1970s, use of biological and behaviour model in 1970 to improve on the 1936 basic speech recognition model

BIOMETRICS TECHNOLOGIES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

Identification/recognition systems Access control

Automated fingerprint identification

Used for criminal identification & large-scale civil identification projects.
Reached a substantial percentage of its potential deployment purposes.
Market is mature by biometric standards .
Voice recognition systems
Biometric modality that utilizes an individuals voice for recognition.
While speech recognition recognizes articulated words & is not biometric.
Iris recognition
Analyses the pattern of the iris to recognize a person
ACS refers to mechanisms that manage access through the authorization or revocation of
rights to physical or logical assets within an organization
ACS vary in complexity and type
Integrates devices including fingerprint readers, retinal eye scanners and hand geometry
readers
Unlike keys, cards or number sequenced entry controllers, biometric security readers
provide access control that cannot be transferred

Integrated products: Increasing replacement of unimodal

High focus on AFIS: Global spending is highest in Adoption of cloud based solutions: Increasing cloud
systems with multimodal systems. The latest Next
AFIS and is expected to grow with a considerable adoption with an estimated spending of US$12.5 billion
Generation Identification program by FBI focuses on the
gap with the other technologies. by 2020.

 TRENDS AND MARKETING
CHALLENGES TRENDS GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY

Lack of budgets 1
Biometric systems and their maintenance is fairly
cost intensive
Value Migration Acquire IP rights for all technologies

Lack of government/ political support Crime Solving Crime prevention

Personal and political conflict of interests
Identification Surveillance
Reluctance to accept change
Reluctant to let go of the age-old methods
2 Integrate all technologies

Reluctance to share information

High risk of sharing information Inter-operability
If a password is compromised once, one can reset it Multiple systems do not
and change it integrate
High risk if a wrong biometric linkage is recorded
Provide a database and software suit with
cloud operability
