3M Identity Management
3M™ Cogent Managed MobileID Service
Introduction
their mobile environment— sending requests for identification to
their State AFIS and, where allowed, to the FBI’s Repository for
Individuals of Special Concern (RISC). The FBI’s RISC fingerprint
database includes approximately 2 million records of wanted persons,
sex offender registry sunjects, and known or suspected terrorists.
Solution Overview
3M Cogent’s MMIS functions as a gateway for the mobile devices
to communicate and search the state AFIS, and subsequently, if
permitted, the federal database, FBI RISC.
A growing number of law enforcement agencies are turning to
mobile fingerprint identification technology to provide real-time
identification capabilities to law enforcement officers. Mobile
identification (MobileID) is a valuable crime fighting tool that requires
and investment in infrastructure that small- to medium-sized
agencies may not have the resources to support. To address this
need, 3M Cogent has developed a backend infrastructure, Managed
MobileID Service (MMIS). Agencies can leverage MMIS to implement
First Segment
The design architecture for the MMIS consists of three distinct
segments. The first segment illustrates the agencies and the mobile
identification devices.
The second segment illustrates the MMIS, hosted at 3M Cogent
in Pasadena, CA. This segment includes the firewalls, VPN server,
Certificate Authority Server, and the MobileID submission server.
The third segment illustrates the state AFIS and FBI RISC mobile
search systems.

Cogent’s MMIS security is fully compliant with the FBI’s Criminal
3M
Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Standard and offers
two ways to secure the communication between an agency’s mobile
devices and the MMIS. The first method utilizes VPN technology
to create a secure channel between the mobile service and 3M
Cogent’s MobileID server. The second method requires
two-factor biometric authentication over a CJIS-compliant HTTPS
secure communication. User credentials are managed centrally on
3M Cogent’s User Group Manager (UGM) while fingerprints are
managed using 3M Cogent’s Web UGM.
The second workflow involves the identification searches which
are sent from the mobile device, through the firewall, to the web
service before being forwarded to 3M Cogent’s MobileID workflow
region. After a MobileID search transaction is properly formatted
to state and FBI standards, it will be forwarded to the state AFIS
for subject identification. In addition, if the state’s AFIS system is
able to communicate with the FBI RISC database, the search will be
forwarded to that system as well.
Using a secure mobility client, 3M Cogent supports iPhone®,
iPad®, Android®, and Mobile Ident II & III devices. The VPN client
provides reliable and easy-to-deploy encrypted network connectivity,
including:
3M Cogent has implemented MobileID service for many customers in
several states, including California against DOJ/FBI, Florida against
FDLE/FBI, Ohio against Ohio BCI/FBI, Houston Police Department
against Texas DPS/FBI, and Maryland against Maryland DPSCS/FBI.
Transactions are transmitted through the state’s secure network and
utilize common protocols such as SMTP, FTP, and HTTPS.
1. Strong encryption, including AES-256 and 3DES-168
2. Advanced encryption, including NSA Suite B algorithms, ESPv3 with
IKEv2, 4096-bit RSA keys, Diffie-Hellman group 24, and enhanced
SHA2 (only available for IPsec IKEv2 connections; Premium ASA
license required)
The server configuration for 3M Cogent’s MMIS capacity and
performance requirements provide 2,000 two-finger searches at
peak-hour throughput, with a response time of 15 seconds within 3M
Cogent’s system. The storage capacity can hold up to three months
of transactions and can be configured for additional time if needed.
3. Access Control List (ACL) and Disabling Split-Tunneling will be
implemented to secure network
Standard audit reports available to agencies include:
1. Mobile Search Transaction Reports for a Specified Period
2. Hit Reports During a Specified Period
3. Mobile Searches Statistics Reports During a Specified Period (i.e.,
daily, monthly, yearly)
3M Cogent’s MMIS includes two types of workflows. The first
workflow is for user authentication requests which are sent from the
mobile device, through the firewall, to the web service before being
forwarded to the authentication server. The authentication server
ensures that only authorized agency personnel are using the mobile
devices.
