Qualitatively Evaluating a Four-Phase Process for Managing Solution of the United States' Biometric Identity Repository

The problem addressed in this qualitative exploratory study is, there lacks a supporting process which permits a committee of cybersecurity experts, legal professionals, and citizen representatives to select, review, assess and approval any solution of a United States sanctioned human identity repository from a cybersecurity perspective. To mitigate this problem, we have proposed a four-phase process, which consists of “select”, “review”, “assess” and “approve” that permits a committee of cybersecurity experts, legal professionals, and citizen representatives responsible for the decisions in managing the technology for a United States sanctioned human identity repository. The main contribution of this study is that we have found a group of cybersecurity experts, legal professionals, and citizen representatives to evaluate the proposed process via answering a set of pre-defined and open-ended survey questions.
