Released in early June, the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 24 (HSPD-24) mandates that U.S. government agencies use a standardized approach in the “collection, storage, use, analysis, and sharing of biometric and associated biographic and contextual information of individuals.” The stated goal is to better enable cross-agency sharing of biometric data to identify known and suspected terrorists (KSTs). Host Chris Corum discusses the implications of the new directive with the International Biometric Industry Association’s Walter Hamilton.
