IBG to Discuss Biometrics in Transportation Security

Teleconference to identify opportunities for leveraging biometrics in national and international transportation programs.

New York, NY (PRWeb) March 6, 2007 -- International Biometric Group (IBG) invites you to join its upcoming teleconference, "Transportation Security and Biometrics." This teleconference takes place at 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, March 8, 2007. Transportation security professionals seeking to leverage new security technologies are especially encouraged to call in.

Programs such as Registered Traveler and Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) demonstrate that biometrics can be used to mitigate transportation security risks at departure/loading, transit, and arrival/delivery stages. However, the range of biometric hardware and software solutions available to address transportation security threats necessitates a disciplined approach to biometric technology selection and integration.

In this IBG teleconference, Senior Consultant Victor Lee will discuss the use of biometrics in transportation security. He will address the following:

> Risks and vulnerabilities in transportation security

> Biometric applications countering these risks and vulnerabilities

> Structured framework for analyzing transportation security and identifying opportunities for biometric solutions

> Challenges encountered when deploying biometrics for transportation security

> Notable biometric deployments in transportation security, including Registered and Trusted Traveler, TWIC, and ILO Seafarers' Identity Documents
