industry, and academia will addresses the important
role that biometrics can play in the
identification and verification of individuals in this age
of heightened security and privacy by examining
biometric-based solutions for homeland
security (airport security, travel documents,
visas, border control, prevention of ID
theft) as well as the utilization of biometrics in
other applications such as point of sale and
large-scale enterprise network environments. Planned Sessions: • Executive Office of
the President (EOP) of the Council (NSTC) Subcommittee
