The U.S. Army has posted a “Sources Sought” request seeking information from businesses for market research purposes to help the agency design and develop an emerging biometric authentication system.
The biometric authentication system will be based on non-traditional modalities incorporated in existing Active Authentication research, or in other words, modalities that are made up of a combination of traditional physical, behavioral, or stylometric biometric data.
In the notice, the agency specifies a number of criteria for all participating companies interested in contributing information. Vendors are required to build a secure container for a process or group of processes which operate on a local operating system platform for Windows 7 and Windows 8, as well as be able to develop fusion logic that can receive disparate biometric modality feature data from a range of processing modules based on existing Active Authentication research.
