Bometrics Consortium

The Biometric Consortium serves as a focal point for research, development, testing, evaluation, and application of biometric-based personal identification/verification technology.

The Biometric Consortium's charter was formally approved on December 7, 1995, by the Facilities Protection Committee, a committee that reports to the Security Policy Board through the Security Policy Forum. The Security Policy Board was established by Presidential Decision Directive/NSC-29 on September 16, 1994, for the coordination, formulation, evaluation, and oversight of US national security policy. The Security Policy Board reports to the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.
