Biometrics Reference Room

federal agencies to support national and homeland security, justice and
eGovernment missions, and by the private sector to enable new business
practices that improve efficiencies and competitiveness for American
industries. This room was developed to provide an accurate understanding of the
technology and related government programs, and includes the following areas:
-
Introductions to Biometrics -
introductory-level material on biometrics, including a glossary and FAQ
-
Federal Programs - information, and web
links, for major federal programs using biometrics
-
Biometrics & Privacy - a Subcommittee
paper which seeks to connect privacy and biometrics at a structural level so
that both fields can be understood within a common framework
