Navy Cash Next Generation

Triad Biometrics LLC (“Triad”) proposes to develop in collaboration with Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed”) an innovative, secure and scalable human system based Next Generation Navy Cash (“NGNC”) solution to replace the existing stored value chip embedded in each of the current cards used by Navy (DoD) warfighters. Triad proposes to replace the stored value chip functions with a secured E-Purse on a centrally stored database in a Navy network accessible on board ship and locations on shore that currently process E-Purse transactions. Key benefits will include irrefutable, centralized identification and authorization, enhanced user convenience and increased productivity, while reducing operating and maintenance costs. Triad Enterprise Authentication and Migration System (“TEAMS”), developed by Triad, utilizes a highly discriminating fingerprint matching system with several patent pending innovative features: replay protection, secure exception mode, automatic alias detection, unique licensing,objective device selection, optional duress alerting and biometric user feedback. TEAMS interoperates with multiple fingerprint capture devices, databases, and application servers. A customized implementation of TEAMS in the NGNC solution will increase transaction security and user friendliness as stored value card functions and related pin codes are eliminated. The feasibility of integrating TEAMS with NGNC will be analyzed in this Phase I effort.
