"We want to spend three weeks for a product assessment," said Paul Howe, director of the Biometrics Fusion Center in Bridgeport, W.Va. "We try to stay ahead of the marketing curve." Howe said the center's mission is to help DOD agencies become better buyers of biometrics. A separate facility in Bridgeport will host the tests for the Common Access program.
KPMG's four subcontractors, known as the Smart Card Solution Team, will visit the fusion center to train workers in the vendors' enrollment and authentication applications with fingerprint readers as well as iris, voice and facial recognition devices. The subcontractors will demonstrate how a biometric identifier is stored and matched on a server, stored and matched on PCs, stored on a smart card and matched on a server, or stored and matched on smart cards.
