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

Tensor将为执法机构提供一个促进跨境环境中生物特征证据提取、共享和存储的平台，使它们能够以自动、稳健、安全、隐私保护和可扩展的方式分享最佳实践。此外，在法医机构在犯罪现场收集部分证据的情况下，将充分挖掘生物识别技术的潜力，并将其融合在一起，以加强法院对其的接受。更具体地说，Tensor将为安全从业者配备新的工具，专注于(A)提取生物特征和在法医条件下验证的其他或多或少独特的特征，以帮助执法机构进行识别、身份核实、情报和调查过程，并可用于解锁罪犯的移动设备；(B)通过执法机构之间以跨境方式安全、自动化、可扩展地交换生物特征情报和法庭证据，共享生物特征，增强安全从业者和法医机构拥有的遗留系统之间的互操作性；以及(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，从而实现生物特征模板的可撤销。张量还将推出独一无二的欧洲生物识别数据空间，在LEA、法医研究所和安全研究人员之间建立共同点，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.
