The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has developed two biometric identity technologies designed to improve screening performance, reduce identity ambiguity and support faster traveler verification as biometric processing expands across airports and border checkpoints. The “Biometric Data Collection and Verification System” (BDCVS) collects identity information, such as from a passport, captures multi-modal biometric data, matches the person and measures transaction time. Users are surveyed about their satisfaction with the system. The use of multiple biometric modalities will eliminate acquisition errors, according to the document describing the BDCVS. The match rate, transaction time and user satisfaction data can all be compared against the performance thresholds the system is required to operate within.
