As technology continues to advance and national security remains at the forefront of discussion, it comes as no surprise that biometrics for national security and defense is a hot topic. The ability for scientists and engineers to determine ways to accurately identify people based upon physical and behavioral characteristics has been achieved; however, improvements in equipment, interoperability and database accuracy are essential. Biometrics is key to our nation’s intelligence and security efforts. Establishing an individual’s identity with certainty provides our military personnel an edge and aids other US government organizations.

Federal, state and local governments are looking to discover new biometric technologies that will enhance their operations. “The Identity and Access Management (IAM) market will grow from nearly $2.6 billion in 2006 to $12.3 billion by 2014. These numbers include revenues from both products and implementations services.” – Andras Cser and Jonathan Penn, Forrester, February 2010

Central themes for the 5th Annual Biometrics for National Security and Defense include:

• Voice and Face Identification
• Biometrics Strategy, Policy and Conformity
• “The Biometrics Challenge 2011”
