NSTC Subcommittee on Biometrics and Identity Management
► National Science & Technology Council► Cabinet-level Council is the principal means within the
executive branch to coordinate S&T policy across the diverse entities that make up the Federal R&D enterprise.
► Established by Executive Order 12881
► Subcommittee on Biometrics and Identity Management► For Biometrics:
■ Provide technical leadership in the development and implementation of interoperable federal biometric systems;
■ Develop and implement multi-agency investment strategies that advance biometric sciences to meet public and private needs;
■ Develop and adopt biometric standards as specified in the NSTC Policy for Enabling the Development, Adoption and Use of Biometric Standards;
■ Develop consensus strategic outreach plans for biometrics, including collaboration on www.biometrics.gov, the annual Biometric Consortium Conference and other events;

Interoperability
►Definition► IEEE defines interoperability as: “the ability of two or
more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.”
►Challenges►Policy Issues
►Technological Hurdles
►Agency Business Objectives

Historic Perspective► Pre 9/11
► Legal/procedural restrictions separated intelligence and criminal investigations
► Need for information sharing and interoperability not emphasized
► Policy Drivers For Interoperability► USA PATRIOT Act (Oct. 2001)► Homeland Security Information Act of 2002► U.S. Attorney General Directive (Apr. 2002)► Presidential Executive Order 13388 (Oct. 2005)► HSPD-6► HSPD-11► ISE► NIP
