An identity verifier evaluation of performance
Because the development of personnel identity verifiers is active in several areas, it is important that an independent comparative evaluation of such devices be continuously pursued for the security industry to apply such devices. An evaluation of several verifiers was recently conducted (in the winter of 1986/1987) at Sandia National Laboratories. In a nonrigorous attempt to comparatively evaluate these verifiers in a field security environment, about 80 individuals were enrolled in five different verifiers. The enrollees were than encouraged to attempt a verification on each device several times a day for about four months such that both single try and multiple try information could be extracted from the data. Results indicated a general improvement in verifier performance with regard to accuracy and operating time compared to previous similar evaluations of verifiers at Sandia.
