TENSOR - Reliable biomeTric tEhNologies to asSist Police authorities in cOmbating terrorism and oRganized crime

TENSOR将为LEAs提供一个平台，促进跨境环境中的生物识别证据提取、共享和存储，使他们能够以自动化、稳健、安全、隐私保护和可扩展的方式分享最佳实践。此外，将充分发挥生物识别技术的潜力，并将其融合到法医研究所在犯罪现场收集的部分证据中，从而加强其在法庭上的接受度。更具体地说，TENSOR将为安全从业者提供新颖的工具，重点是(a)提取生物特征和其他在法医条件下验证的或多或少独特的特征，以协助LEAs识别、身份验证、情报和调查过程，并可用于解锁罪犯的移动设备；(b)通过安全、自动化、可扩展的生物特征情报和法庭证据跨境交换共享生物特征，加强安全从业人员和法医研究所拥有的遗留系统之间的互操作性；(c)通过生物特征数据保护机制以保护隐私的方式存储生物特征，使生物特征模板具有可撤销性。张量还将引入独一无二的欧洲生物识别数据空间，在LEAs、法医研究所和安全研究人员之间建立一个共同的基础，帮助更快地采用现代生物识别解决方案。

TENSOR will provide LEAs a platform that facilitates the biometric evidence extraction, sharing and storage in cross border environments allowing them to share best practices in an automated, robust, secure, privacy-preserving and scalable manner. In addition, the full potential of biometrics technologies will be exploited and their fusion in case of partial evidence gathered in the crime scenes by forensic institutes strengthening their acceptance in the court of justice. More particularly, TENSOR will equip security practitioners with novel tools focusing on (a) Extraction of biometrics and other more or less distinctive features validated in forensic conditions that assist LEAs in identification, identity verification, intelligence and investigation processes and can be leveraged to unlock criminals’ mobile devices; (b) Sharing of biometrics through secure, automated, scalable exchange of biometric intelligence and court-proof evidence among LEAs in a cross-border manner, enhancing interoperability among legacy systems owned by security practitioners and Forensic Institutes; and (c) Storage of biometrics in a privacy-preserving way through a biometric data protection mechanism enabling revocability of biometric templates. TENSOR will also introduce the one-of-its-kind European Biometric Data Space creating a common ground among LEAs, Forensic Institutes and Security Researchers assisting in the faster adoption of modern biometric solutions.
