Central, Distributed, Multi-biometric, Multiple Application Server
A NSW Case Study using multiple biometrics, multiple applications and 100,000+ users.

Background
How do biometrics fit? Cost and complexity of securing
applications Establishing integrity across
numerous processes and rules Protecting investments Future proofing

Concept: Single Point of Biometric TruthA single identity marker regardless
of biometric type or applicationAvailable in near real time across
the whole networkUnderpins various DCS business
processes

What Was Built?
A “single point of biometric truth” which: Accepts data from various biometric
hardware vendors Accepts proprietary software applications Provides near real time (NRT) updates
remote data bases

What is AKITA? AKITA is a biometric identification clearing
house AKITA assigns a unique id (UID) to each
user, regardless of where they are enrolled or by which biometric device.
AKITA contains customer defined data:• Demographic data• Photograph• User group• Scanned image of documents' relating to user
enrolment

During the day users at Site1 are enrolled using biometricType A (in this example, iris)andthird party application type A.
At Site 5 users are enrolled usingBiometric Type B (in this exampleFingerprint) and third party application type B.
All sites enrol new users.
All are subscribers to the SPOBT Service

After hours, all sites are polled by the SPOBT.
Each site gets notification fromthe SPOBT service separately asconfigured using the SPOBT AdminTool on a specific interval or on a daily basis.
All new data is collected andreturned to the central server.
A SPOBT UID is assigned to all new users.

All sites are then warned “stand by” to receive all updates from all sites. i.e. each site is about to be delivered a fully replicated copy of the SPOBT.
SPOBT can be hosted through WCF over TCP or WSDL through HTTP
Security in the SPOBT can be set to one of the following:1. Windows
Integrated2. RSA Certificate3. SSL4. Custom

All changes and updates from all sites then returnedto every other site, along with the unique ID (UID) assigned bythe SPOBT.
So if I enrolled with isay, Iris Type A at site 1 on Monday I can berecognised with Iris Type B on Site 5 on Tuesday. (or at an interval as short as 60 seconds. Users define theinterval).
