When the Army's biometrics program started in 2000, its focus was determining how to use biometrics to secure access to military networks, both on the battlefield and on the home front. This focus began to change in 2003, when DOD saw that biometrics could be used to prevent the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan from hiding behind a web of multiple identities. It also then became a DOD-wide effort. By ...
This document provides a comprehensive technical reference that lists published biometric standards and describes their applicability to the biometric functions described in the Capstone Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for Department of Defense (DoD) Biometrics in Support of Identity Superiority. It was prepared by the DoD Biometrics Standards Working Group (BSWG) to assist in the development of future system-specific policy and technical documents, such as standard operating procedures, architecture technical views, ...
