• OneDOJ System (formerly R-DEx) is the current operational Information Sharing System (ISS) for DOJ. It is a system hosted at the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) data center and governed by the LCC, and used to achieve the goals of OneDOJ. The OneDOJ system enables DOJ to meet its internal requirements for effective information sharing across its law enforcement agencies – only DOJ users have access to the OneDOJ system directly. External sharing is accomplished through bilateral partnerships with designated regional, state or federal sharing initiatives. These partnerships allow non-DOJ users to access OneDOJ data from within their own systems and vice-versa. More...
• N-DEx is designed to be a national system governed by the FBI’s CJIS Advisory Policy Board (APB) and available to the entire law enforcement community. N-DEx enables any agency to contribute and share law enforcement information and provides powerful analytical and correlation capabilities to the users. As policy and capabilities allow, DOJ will share applicable OneDOJ data through N-DEx when it becomes operational. Full descriptions and benefits of these services can be found in the N-DEx Concept of Operations Document. More...
• JABS The Joint Automated Booking System (JABS) is an information sharing initiative to strengthen law enforcement and homeland security activities. The initiative automates the booking process and provides a mechanism to rapidly and positively identify an individual based on a fingerprint submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). The JABS Program is not restricted to DOJ users, and includes other user groups from within the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, Defense, and Health and Human Services. JABS added an Inter-Agency booking service to provide automated submission of booking packages for Federal law enforcement agencies who routinely bring their suspects in for booking. This initiative expanded JABS services to agencies in 11 Federal departments outside of DOJ (Departments of Homeland Security, Agriculture, Education, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and the General Services Administration), as well as the U.S. Postal Service. These agencies can now utilize JABS without having to actually deploy an automated booking station in their offices, in turn saving money.
• NVPS The National Virtual Pointer System (NVPS) is an initiative being developed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), and the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS). The NVPS will link NDPIX with other target deconfliction systems throughout the country and will enhance the ability of law enforcement to share information in an efficient and timely manner. More...
• FIDM Pilot: Federated Identity Management pilot, now in its second year, is a Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) initiative funded by the Director of National Intelligence Information Sharing Environment, of which, the U.S. Department of Justice is a member. The objective is to provide and test an agreed-upon standard for authenticating users and remove impediments they may experience while accessing mission-critical data. Benefits include a simpler, more reliable authentication process thereby proving users with quicker access to data. The U.S. Department of Justice is validating this concept and supporting technologies as it relates to law enforcement environment and testing specific architecture of the federation believed to be the most appropriate for the LEISP mission. Such architecture relies on a single trusted broker to serve as an intermediary between SP's and IdP's de-coupling specific implementations of the identity verification and assertion and reducing the burden on all parties by allowing any single SP or IdP to implement one authentication mechanism most appropriate for their environment. The IdP gathers and maintains user identity details or attributes necessary to satisfy the security policy requirements of partner information holders (application providers). Any architecture that utilizes federated identity will simplify the process of gaining access to multiple information resources for users. The most salient features of the trusted broker approach are its expandability, flexibility, viability, and ease of administration. Provisioning and deprovisioning are also simplified: only identity provider needs to perform those activities, although a centralized deprovisioning capability was also implemented. In addition, users only see the applications to which their credentials (as determined by their home or local identity provider) entitle them. Maintaining a central directory of resources is not needed.
  
  FIDM pilot includes the U.S. Department of Justice and its Law Enforcement Online (LEO) system and the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS). The FIDM pilot is also interoperable with GFIPM (Global Identity and Privilege Management) pilot of which the Department of Homeland Security is a member. Future plans include making Intelink-U a service provider thereby granting users with access to Intellipedia.
