Overview

International Biometric Group (IBG) will conduct formal Qualified Product List (QPL) Testing of biometric access control sub-systems for the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) beginning in February 2009.

IBG has been designated by DHS and NIST as qualified to conduct biometric device testing during the Transition Phase of the Biometrics for Access Control Qualified Products List. Products to be tested include enrollment stations and biometric sensors/readers that can be deployed at airport access points to secure areas.

Products that successfully complete the qualification process will be included on the TSA Qualified Products List. Airport operators are encouraged to use the qualified products list to improve upon their existing access control sub-systems by incorporating biometric technologies.

Qualified Sub-Systems

The following sub-systems have been placed on the TSA Qualified Product List based on results from IBG QPL testing:

• Bioscrypt V-Station Mifare V9.50
• Cogent ID-Gate
• Lumidigm Lightprint J Series Multispectral Fingerprint Scanner
• Lumidigm Lightprint Venus Series Multispectral Fingerprint Scanner
