Biometrics 101

This document provides an introduction to biometrics and biometric systems. It defines biometrics as the measurement of life, describing both physiological and behavioral modalities currently used, including iris scans, fingerprints, facial recognition, and others. It outlines the origin and development of current biometric systems like BAT, HIIDE, and BISA. These systems collect biometrics and other identifying information to support missions like antiterrorism, detainee operations, and border control. The document concludes with a discussion of an individual's role in collecting biometrics and a review of key topics covered.

Origin of Current Biometric Systems


Origin of Biometric Automated Toolset (BAT) and the Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE):
US Forces in Kosovo lacked ability to positively identify Local National Hires (LNH); a LNH could be fired but could go to a different camp and get re-hired. Biometrics Automated Toolset (BAT) introduced in Kosovo in 2001. BAT provided a concrete identification means. HIIDE developed to provide an untethered, portable biometric collection and identification platform. Fielded to Army Spring 2007.

BISA developed for Iraq to provide for a system of identifying, vetting, and tracking local national hires (LNH) and locally employed personnel (LEP).

Three Biometrics Used by BAT

Accomplishing tomorrows training requirements today.

Iris Recognition
BAT incorporates a handheld Iris Recognition Device developed by Securimetrics, Inc. Scalable and fast, capable of providing realtime responses. Extremely accurate identification with a False Acceptance Rate of: 1:1.2 million. Represents each iris as a small, 512-byte Iris Code. An average jpeg photograph is 1.6Mb or 1,600,000 bytes.

Fingerprint Recognition
BAT incorporates a Fingerprint capture and identification engine developed by Neurotechnilogija One of the oldest and most recognizable biometric modalities.

Extremely accurate identification.


Searchable against FBI Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) database Searches on Flat and Rolled Prints

Facial Recognition
The Biometrics Automated Toolset incorporates a Face Recognition Engine developed by Lau Technologies, Inc. Ability to take photos from BAT and make 3D images Accuracy reduced by external variables such as light, distance from the subject and facial position. Represents faces as an extremely concise 128-byte eigenface template for minimal storage and improved search speed Used by the State Department to find duplicate visa applicants, by motor vehicle divisions, by law enforcement agencies and in Department of Defense initiatives.

Your role in collecting Biometrics


Ties a person to their biometrics, not just their name

Eases Identification of foreigners/possible enemies


Collects other Intelligence information

Database accessible/searchable by many


Allows identification at the tactical level Provides information for criminal prosecution

Caution: Data is only as reliable as the person who collected and entered it!
