3 TWIC - Operational Biometrics Operational biometrics (i.e. a biometric obtained from a database instead of from the TWIC card) is possible using the CHUID (or F ASC-N field of the CHUID) as a means to address said operational biometrics. As written, the ICE scenarios that talk to biometric match (or fail) cases were crafted with the TWIC card fingerprint biometric template in mind. That said, respondents may propose alternate solutions provided respondents detail how they would accomplish the expected results of these scenarios using operational biometrics. TSA, July 08

4 Operational Imperatives Mandatory Requirements From Existing RFP TWIC readers shall use technology that allows accurate biometric comparison on subjects with dirty (greasy or oily) hands. For all reliability calculations described below, few data exceptions shall be allowed. Reader failures, greasy hands, cut fingers, etc. shall all be included in the calculations. TWIC biometric reader system shall not erroneously fail more than 0.5% of all valid TWIC s TWIC biometric reader system shall operate in less than 5 seconds from the moment a TWIC holder inserts his card (or waves his card if read by contactless means) to the time the gate system receives a pass/fail signal.

5 Operational Imperatives (Continued) Speed - TWIC Speed. With over 8000 transactions occurring daily, every second counts. A few seconds delay per truck or a few minutes delay for any one truck can cause truck traffic to backup, blocking roads and intersections for long periods of time. Therefore, any TWIC system or access control system (ACS) proposed should ensure that speed of operation is foremost in consideration. Accuracy - TWIC Read Failures. When truckers pull up to the scales to be weighed to have their credentials validated, he is already in one of a multitude of lines with numerous other trucks. Any issue that causes a trucker to not to be allowed to enter the facility can cause significant issues as the truck is delayed until he can pull across numerous lanes of traffic to reach a trouble kiosk. Thus, multiple failures to validate a TWIC or a trucker s biometrics can cause long delays and backups at the gates. So, while it is critical to validate TWIC s quickly; it is equally, or even more important, that the system in place is exceptionally accurate.
