Biometric-based Computer Authentication during Mission Oriented Protective Posture Scenarios

SED Technology LLC proposes a feasibility study to determine if the proposed theory that IR can potentially answer the requirement of providing a 3-factor authentication capability. The proposed capability will allow continuous identification and can interact with computers on a periodic or on request basis to validate the identity of the soldier in MOPP 4 with no interference with mission accomplishment or violating security. The proposed concept has a degree of technical risk. However, this risk is mitigated by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Francine Prokoski"s decades of experience in analyzing human identification using Infrared technology. This collective team will provide DoD with a high probability of a successful SBIR that will result in a capability to validate personnel identity even when dressed in full MOPP 4 gear.
