15. A system for identifying persons based on biometric information, comprising: a server configured to receive a sample biometric template to be identified over a network; a database coupled to the server, wherein the database is configured to store biometric templates; a biometric engine coupled to the server and database for identifying and managing the biometric information, the biometric engine comprising: a cache configured to store segments of the biometric templates associated with biometric features contained in the segments; an interface configured to receive the sample biometric template from the server; a jobs thread coupled to the interface, wherein the jobs thread is configured to divide the sample biometric template into jobs based on the biometric features contained in the sample biometric template; and a matchers thread coupled to the jobs thread, wherein the matchers thread is configured to compare the jobs to the segments corresponding to the biometric features of the sample biometric template to determine candidate biometric templates associated with the segments that match the jobs and configured to generate a candidates list identifying the candidate biometric templates and entities related to the candidate biometric templates.
