The Digital World and Biometrics Go Fingerprint in Fingerprint

摘要

Identification authentication and cyber are inextricably linked, with each enabling the other. The systems for the former are dependent on the latter, while the security of the latter is becoming increasingly ensured by the former. Experts at the Global Identity Summit in Tampa, Florida, in September drew correlations between the two fields. The FBI rolled out its Next Generation Identification (NGI) system a week before the conference, replacing the long-standing Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, and automating 93 percent of searches. Other upgrades include connections to other systems and capabilities for more mobile detections. Amy Hess, executive assistant director of the bureaus Science and Technology Branch, said her organization is collaborating with the departments of Homeland Security and Defense on requirements for collection of rapid DNA. The FBI additionally is exploring video analytics in more depth to address the digital proliferation of video in recent years.
