Improvement, Development, and Integration for the Active Authentication Continuous Identification Biometric System, West Point, NY

This posting constitutes the Mission and Installation Contracting Command - West Point's notice of an intent to award, on a sole source basis, a contract to IBG, a Novetta Solutions Company, 7921 Jones Branch Dr STE 500, McLean, VA 22102, for the design and development of an emerging biometric authentication system based on non-traditional modalities incorporated in existing Active Authentication research. This includes research and development of a Biometrics Application Program Interface (API) consisting of: (1) A secure container for behavioral/cognitive-based and traditional biometric sensors and analysis engine applications; (2) sensor data fusion algorithms to support a multi-modality Active Authentication platform; (3) cryptographic algorithms and protocols using biometrics features to support the ability to transmit and receive data security using a key exchange that is client-verified; and (4) data collection support for specific biometric sensor that are part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Desktop and Mobile Active Authentication Program. Additionally, this effort will include technical subject matter expertise support for emerging behavioral based biometric capabilities and platforms. It is anticipated that the period of performance will include a base period from date of award through 31 July 2015 and an option period from 1 August 2015 through 30 June 2016.
