SECRET
ExpressLane v3.1.1 manages a kill date that will disable the biometric software by
corruption a configuration file associated with the software. When ExpressLane v3.1.1
(MOBSLangSvc) is first installed, it sets the kill date to 6 months (183 days) in the future
as a default value. This value is changed by inserting a watermarked thumb drive into a
PC (not the Liaison machine), and running CreatePartition v3.1.1. Part of the watermark
on the thumb drive is the value of the kill date. The envisioned scenario is as follows:
The default kill date on the software is initially set to 6 months.
A watermarked thumb drive is inserted into the system with a specified kill date.
Agency officers return to service the Liaison system before the specified kill date,
whereupon they again insert a watermarked thumb drive with a new kill date.
If Agency officers do not return (or are not allowed to return) in the specified
time, the system is disabled when the kill date passes, and Liaison has the option
to either call the Agency back to fix the software, or decide to no longer use the
software.
