1 THE ADVANCE OF BIOMETRICS IN GOVERNMENT FIVE WAYS UNISYS IS SUPPORTING BIOMETRIC EXCELLENCE IN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WORLDWIDE

2 Unisys Supporting Biometric Excellence through: 1. Vendor-agnostic system integration using best-of-breed algorithms, software, and hardware 2. Framework and data services that connect data, devices, systems, and people securely 3. Identity-aware security analytics and workflows to maximize the biometric investment 4. Government and commercial expertise to develop unified, end-to-end biometric solutions 5. Innovation to unlock the potential of leading-edge technologies Biometrics Worldwide The mission of every government agency worldwide can be summed up as follows: government is designed to enhance people s lives through secure, reliable, advanced technology that serves the citizens. There are people to be helped, people to be stopped, people to be investigated, and people to be protected. Consequently, government agencies in the federal sector including border protection, law enforcement, and civilian services require unwavering performance, availability, accuracy, and absolute responsiveness in the area of identity management to fulfill their missions. Biometric solutions are steadily advancing as a strategic methodology to assure successful identity management. Identity management can be defined as resolution of a person s unique identity based on their physical characteristics and biographical information that the government has access to. For example, border security departments make use of fingerprints, facial characteristics, iris details, and gait patterns to identify individuals entering and exiting countries. National identity (ID) solutions in countries such as Mexico, India, Angola, and South Africa incorporate biometric data. Healthcare agencies, public service institutions, and financial organizations leverage biometric data for identity verification as a criticality as the government moves forward. With biometric capabilities evolving rapidly, government agencies are likely to be challenged to explore vendor and technology options. However, it is important to realize that there is no such thing as a turnkey biometric solution. Systems, vendors, people, and equipment don t come wrapped up neatly in a single package. The optimal biometric solution for your agency could require the coordination of data from dozens of systems, the services of multiple vendors, the implementation of multiple standards, and the integration of hardware from various manufacturers. Such complexity can result in project failure if it is not addressed effectively. Achieving Biometric Excellence Unisys helps you achieve biometric excellence in five key ways as we: act as a system integrator, deliver secure identity data services, enable advanced analytics, bring domain experience and expertise of over 25 years, and advance technology innovation. 1. System Integration Unisys implements a high-quality identity management solution that is vendor agnostic, utilizing best-of-breed algorithms, software, and hardware. This approach allows you the flexibility to make changes easily, adopting and integrating newer and better technologies as they become available. We will help you assess the biometric options available to you in light of your agency s objectives, policies, resources, and budget to design a comprehensive identity management solution. A multimodal solution may incorporate your existing systems, multiple biometric devices, and a combination of algorithms. It may involve information-sharing across agencies and even across national borders. It may also utilize industry-standard data collection devices or equipment that is on the cutting edge of science. Put simply, we bring together the people, processes and technologies necessary to help you achieve your mission. Improving Safety in the Netherlands In the Netherlands, Unisys is improving the safety of society through the delivery of a custody management solution for penitentiaries across the country. The solution, which supports all aspects of custody management, uses biometric data to verify litigants and visitors identities. Overall, the solution has: Increased the predictability and efficiency of prison management activities such as enrollment of new litigants, assigning cells, visitor requests, transfers, and leave requests Enhanced cooperation of all parties within the judicial system such as care providers, lawyers, and policing and law enforcement agencies (spanning across 10,000+ end users) Reduced the time taken to record, track, and identify detainees (totaling 40,000+ per year), visitors, and employees 2

3 2. Secure Framework We are able to act as a vendor-agnostic system integrator because we provide a framework and data services that can connect data, devices, systems, and people securely. This is critical, since security and privacy are top concerns in the federal sector. Together, they form the single largest barrier to adopting biometric solutions. For example, government agencies are: Sensitive to citizens concerns that biometric data including fingerprints, facial images, iris images, retina patterns, etc. could be stolen and used to forge identities. Worried about maintaining compliance with privacy regulations that differ from country to country, impacting how data can be shared. Anxious that multimodal, multi-vendor solutions could result in security gaps. Our framework is based on micro-services that enable the secure connection and management of data, devices, systems, and people, as well as on the Unisys suite of Stealth products that resolve issues surrounding security and privacy. Unisys Stealth(core) leverages identity-driven microsegmentation to enable secure communication through encrypted channels. Vendors, systems, software, hardware, networks, and personnel can be integrated and protected by creating communities of interest that define how data can be shared. Unisys Stealth secures end-to-end biometric solutions by establishing irrefutable user authentication, preventing lateral attacker movement, and reducing data center, mobile, and cloud attack surfaces. Your agency gains total visibility and, with it, the ability to maintain compliance with coordinated, system-wide policies. Stealth(identity) ensures that you can plug and play different types of technologies from any vendor as your needs evolve without upsetting your entire infrastructure. Upgrades, modifications, additions, and deletions are all accomplished simply and swiftly. Stealth(identity) in Mexico s Department of State Unisys is making a vital contribution to the enhancement and centralization of the Government of Mexico s biometric systems within the Department of State s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Division. Unisys Stealth(identity) solution supports Mexico s system, known as DIGITUS. The mission of DIGITUS is to provide a biometrically-based identity management service to the Government of Mexico, and to facilitate information sharing with other U.S. biometric systems, such as the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) used by the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) in support of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This system enables informed decision-making by producing accurate and timely identity information. Unisys Stealth(identity) integrates six biometric modalities and performs multimodal matching for identification, verification, and watch-list purposes. 3

4 3. Advanced Analytics Employing biometrics is one thing getting the most out of your investment is something entirely different. This is the realm of advanced analytics. At Unisys, we empower you to: Enable identity-aware security analytics and workflows Leverage enhanced authentication, authorization, and risk-mitigation Drive contextual, data-driven decisions with unification of various patterns in identities ADVANCED ANALYTICS IN PRACTICE: MISSION IMPACT SUPPORTING BORDER PROTECTION The Unisys Advanced Analytics team partnered with federal law enforcement and border protection agencies to analyze MORE THAN 1.3 BILLION TRANSACTIONS INTEGRATING BILLIONS OF RECORDS FROM COMMERCIAL, U.S. AND OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.

5 Biometrics at the Borders Knowing who is coming in and going out of the country is an essential component of national security. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Biometric Exit project, developed and managed by Unisys, delivers biometric security at the borders to help security officials prioritize investigations of individuals who may pose a threat. The traveler verification service allows CBP to architect data flows and data systems to pre-stage biometrics data. As a result, the data verifies a traveler s identity upon departure from the United States and matches the departing traveler s information with their corresponding entry information. The solution leverages cloud technology to elastically provision and release resources for pre-staging biometric data to verify travelers, which reduces the total cost of ownership. The solution has been providing a 97% matching rate with an average of 2 seconds to process a traveler. 4.

For example, we are unlocking the potential of blockchain technology for identity management. In identity management, multiple sources of data contribute to each identity record, giving rise to concerns regarding the ability to: Audit the sources of specific pieces of data Track who is viewing and manipulating the data Manage the identity of an individual as he or she travels within a country or across national boundaries Blockchain technology, however, creates an immutable chain of data that can deliver high trust and high transparency, making it ideal for secure identity management and data sharing. We approach innovation in alignment with the Identity Assurance Level (IAL) classified in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication Digital Identity Guidelines to support the U.S. government s technology and standards roadmap. When biometric data such as fingerprint, facial characteristics, voice, and gait becomes part of the blockchain record, a value factory is built that can strongly support border security efforts and other federal programs. Unisys is on the leading edge of this and other innovative solutions. 5
