OverviewIn October 2006, UPEK received FBI and GSA FIPS* 201 certi�cation for its TouchChip® TCS1 silicon �ngerprint sensor with Enhanced Image Mode (EIM) technology. This certi�cation allows the UPEK TCS1 �ngerprint sensor to be used for FIPS 201 and PIV (Personal Identity Veri�cation) card applications, as part of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). An estimated 10 million biometric �ngerprint ID cards, with ANSI 378 minutia �ngerprint templates, will be issued to all U.S. Federal employees and contractors for physical and logical access control, and only certi�ed products can be used. Products that are FIPS 201 certi�ed may also be used across many other U.S. and international identity and authentication programs.

FIPS 201: Market RequirementsFIPS Pub 201 de�nes the PIV card that forms the basis for a new generation of Federal employee and contractor identi�cation credentials. Dated February 25, 2005, and titled Personal Identity Veri�cation (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, this speci�cation is a requirement of HSPD-12 that was announced by the White House in 2004 to address the issues of inconsistent and potentially insecure forms of identi�cation used to access Federal buildings and information systems. One of the primary elements of the PIV card is that the �ngerprint data used for veri�cation must meet the biometric requirements speci�ed in NIST SP 800-76 and FBI speci�cations for Single Fingerprint Capture Devices.

The Enrollment ProcessDuring the user enrollment process, the �ngerprint images from both index �ngers are converted into the ANSI 378 minutia template format. These templates are then digitally signed by the issuing federal agency and securely written to the PIV card, along with other user and agency-speci�c information. These �ngerprint minutia templates can then be used to biometrically authenticate the user to their PIV card for strong user authentication to both physical access devices and for access control to computer and network resources. UPEK is the only silicon �ngerprint sensor provider to receive this certi�cation, ensuring UPEK’s �ngerprint image quality meets the demanding standards established by the FBI’s requirements for Single Fingerprint Capture Devices.

Bene�ts of Certi�cation – Lower Cost Identity and Authentication SolutionsThe �ngerprint was selected as the preferred biometric method because of a long and proven history over decades of accurate and reliable deployments with millions of users. With this certi�cation, UPEK’s TouchChip TCS1 silicon �ngerprint sensors have independent validation that these sensors can be designed into identi�cation and authentication devices that have until now relied on bulky, high power consumption and expensive optical �ngerprint scanners. UPEK TCS1 sensors are more cost e�ective, smaller in size and consume far less power than expensive optical devices, making UPEK’s TCS1 a more cost e�ective solution, improving overall system ROI.

The Stanford Washington Research Group asserts that the market opportunities created by the U.S. Government for identity solutions will reach $8.5 billion over the next �ve years with most of the growth occurring in the next three years. International government applications are estimated to become a $14-20 billion market. These markets will develop over the next �ve years as government-focused enterprises produce new identity solutions, including passport, visitor management and national ID programs. A major increase in expenditures is expected in 2007 for hardware and software developers for the large scale implementation of these systems. Technologies that lower the cost of these solutions will accelerate their deployments.

Longer Range Importance – Toward One Billion Biometric ID’s Within the U.S. and internationally, many large-scale programs are underway to deploy biometric identity credentials to positively authenticate the credential holder for a variety of applications. While multiple biometric technologies will be deployed, �ngerprint biometrics remains the dominant modality due to its proven success over decades of successful use.

U.S. Domestic Programs Include: PIV/FIPS 201, US-Visit program, Transportation Workers Identity Card (TWIC), Registered Travel program, First Responders, Federation for Identity and Cross-Credentialing Systems (FiXS), Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), RealID drivers licenses and others.

International Biometric ID Programs Include: EU VISA, Japan Visit, International Labor Organization (ILO) Seafarers ID, Thailand’s National ID, Malaysia’s National ID, Hong Kong’s ID, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) passports, UK’s National ID program, and many others.

Commercial Market Applications U. S. domestic and international commercial markets are expected to follow government initiatives closely. Investments made in government identity solutions are driving many commercial applications.

Enterprise Security. Commercial security systems for physical and logical access are integrating biometrics with other security technologies. Single sign-on systems use biometrics to reduce today’s password burden.

Banking. Banks are being asked to implement two-factor authentication for internet access to account information per FFIEC guidelines. Biometrics is a proven way of complying with this recommendation.

Retail. Biometric vendors, such as San Francisco-based Pay By Touch, are bringing biometric authentication and payment gateways to point-of-sale terminals in stores.

Healthcare. Biometric solutions are being deployed in the healthcare market to meet the HIPPA requirements for patient privacy, and for stronger user authentication.

Consumer Security. Two-factor authentication is emerging in the consumer market. Pay By Touch selected UPEK’s strip sensor technology for its TrueMeTM on-line authentication service. This leverages UPEK’s dominant position of shipping �ngerprint biometric solutions to 4 of the top 5 PC notebook OEM’s to reduce password complexity and help eliminate phishing and pharming attacks.

Market Endorsements

The recent GSA and FBI certi�cation of the TouchChip® TCS1 silicon �ngerprint sensor with EIM technology as a Single Fingerprint Capture Device for FIPS 201 applications has enabled biometric solution providers to develop a new generation of low cost, compact and power e�cient physical, logical and mobile access control devices that also meet the government’s biometric technology standards. Here is what some industry leaders are saying about FIPS 201 certi�cation of the UPEK TCS1:

Ming Hsieh, President and CEO of Cogent Systems “The combination of Cogent’s ANSI 378 certi�ed algorithms, with the cost and size advantages of the TouchChip TCS1 sensor, o�er government customers a new value point in certi�ed biometric authentication applications for logical and physical access.” Colin Soutar, CTO Bioscrypt “By integrating UPEK’s certi�ed, low cost sensors, we are able to provide a cost-e�ective platform for physical access control that enables government agencies to comply with new regulations and to quickly achieve a Return on Investment.”

William Bartlett, Product Line Manger at NEC Corporation of America “Now that UPEK has a FIPS 201 certi�ed silicon �ngerprint sensor, it allows NEC to extend our support of that sensor into the Civil AFIS market, where NEC’s ANSI 378-compliant algorithm has already been certi�ed by NIST.”

Christer Bergman, President and CEO of Precise Biometrics “UPEK’s TouchChip TCS1 �ngerprint sensor delivers high image quality across a broad range of people, enabling the Precise 250 MC to work reliably for biometric authentication of Federal employees and contractors.”

Greg Peterson, President of SecuriMetrics, an L-1 Company (NYSE-ID) “The TouchChip TCS1 sensor was the product that met all of our demands and needs for the HIIDE handheld terminal. The TouchChip TCS1 sensor has proven itself over the past year in numerous �eld trials, and was a positive factor in helping us to win a large DOD contract.”

Philip Wasserman, Biometrics Researcher “UPEK’s achievement of o�ering the �rst silicon sensor to meet this demanding set of requirements will allow the use of the TouchChip TCS1 �ngerprint sensor in many applications previously requiring larger, more expensive optical sensors.”

De�ning the Identity Management System Secured with Biometrics

Enrollment: In this phase the participant enrolls their �ngerprints via a one-time AFIS ten-�nger capture process.

Card Issuance: The PIV Smart Card is issued to the employee after matching the �ngerprint data stored in the card.

Logical Access: Secure systems with peripheral devices such as mice or USB �ash drives secured with �ngerprint readers. Biometric data on the PIV card can be used to authenticate users to computers and networks.

Physical Access: Secure sites, including compounds, buildings or rooms within buildings that are secured with �ngerprint readers. Users can be biometrically authenticated for controlled access to buildings, rooms and other physical locations.

Identity Management Systems (IDMS) Secured with Biometrics

OverviewIn October 2006, UPEK received FBI and GSA FIPS* 201 certi�cation for its TouchChip® TCS1 silicon �ngerprint sensor with Enhanced Image Mode (EIM) technology. This certi�cation allows the UPEK TCS1 �ngerprint sensor to be used for FIPS 201 and PIV (Personal Identity Veri�cation) card applications, as part of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). An estimated 10 million biometric �ngerprint ID cards, with ANSI 378 minutia �ngerprint templates, will be issued to all U.S. Federal employees and contractors for physical and logical access control, and only certi�ed products can be used. Products that are FIPS 201 certi�ed may also be used across many other U.S. and international identity and authentication programs.

FIPS 201: Market RequirementsFIPS Pub 201 de�nes the PIV card that forms the basis for a new generation of Federal employee and contractor identi�cation credentials. Dated February 25, 2005, and titled Personal Identity Veri�cation (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, this speci�cation is a requirement of HSPD-12 that was announced by the White House in 2004 to address the issues of inconsistent and potentially insecure forms of identi�cation used to access Federal buildings and information systems. One of the primary elements of the PIV card is that the �ngerprint data used for veri�cation must meet the biometric requirements speci�ed in NIST SP 800-76 and FBI speci�cations for Single Fingerprint Capture Devices.

The Enrollment ProcessDuring the user enrollment process, the �ngerprint images from both index �ngers are converted into the ANSI 378 minutia template format. These templates are then digitally signed by the issuing federal agency and securely written to the PIV card, along with other user and agency-speci�c information. These �ngerprint minutia templates can then be used to biometrically authenticate the user to their PIV card for strong user authentication to both physical access devices and for access control to computer and network resources. UPEK is the only silicon �ngerprint sensor provider to receive this certi�cation, ensuring UPEK’s �ngerprint image quality meets the demanding standards established by the FBI’s requirements for Single Fingerprint Capture Devices.
