Article 70 : Idemia confirme son leadership en technologie d'empreinte digitale selon le NIST

Idemia confirms its leadership in fingerprint technology according to NIST

In a world where security and rapid identification have become paramount, biometrics plays a central role. Among biometric technologies, fingerprint technology is one of the most used thanks to its reliability and uniqueness for each individual. In this context, Idemia, a world leader in biometric-based security solutions, once again stands out for its exceptional performance.

Idemia: at the forefront of fingerprint technology

Idemia, a leading technology group, reaffirms its status as a leader in fingerprint technology by taking the top spot in the Proprietary Fingerprint Template (PFT III) benchmark of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This rigorous evaluation tested Idemia’s algorithms across all datasets, including both rolled and flat fingerprints. The results demonstrate the superiority of Idemia’s AFIS technology, capable of catering to a wide variety of client applications and optimizing configurations to meet specific user requirements.

The datasets used for this benchmark included fingerprints captured by several sensors of varying qualities, thus demonstrating the robustness and versatility of Idemia’s solutions against different capture devices. This technological leadership finds daily applications in diverse fields such as policing, commerce, and border control, where the reliability and accuracy of identification are crucial.

Recognized performance beyond fingerprint recognition

Beyond fingerprint recognition, Idemia also excels in other biometric areas, as evidenced by its top rankings in international evaluations. Its facial recognition algorithm was recognized as the most fair in the Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) of the NIST, and its iris recognition algorithm was ranked at the top in the latest Iris Exchange (IREX 10) evaluation of the NIST.

Precise and fair technology

Jean-Christophe Fondeur, Chief Technical Officer of Idemia, highlights the company’s commitment to offering cutting-edge algorithms that are both precise and fair. This recognition by the NIST, in line with Idemia’s historical performance, attests to the excellence of the company’s software development teams. These results reinforce Idemia’s position as the provider of choice for advanced biometric systems, confirming its role as a leader in the field of biometric security.

By adopting Idemia’s technologies, organizations can thus guarantee rapid, reliable, and secure identification, essential in a wide range of critical applications.

Article 48 : La reconnaissance faciale d’IDEMIA n°1 au classement NIST

IDEMIA’s facial recognition ranked #1 by NIST

IDEMIA, global leader in augmented security has announced that its 1:N facial recognition algorithm has ranked first out of 114 systems tested in the latest NIST FRVT1 test, which evaluates the performance of facial recognition technologies in one-to-many (1:N) scenarios, comparing a facial image to a large database of face images. IDEMIA achieved the highest accuracy score, with 99.88% accurate matches out of 12 million facial images.

Cutting-edge performance in a context of fairness and demographic parity

One of the major aspects of automated facial recognition using AI is to teach algorithms not only to be accurate but also fast and optimized to ensure their impartiality, both equally essential criteria. IDEMIA has successfully found the right balance when facing large volumes of facial images, offering the best combination of speed, accuracy, and demographic parity. IDEMIA’s facial recognition solutions work with or without masks and are now able to process side-profiled facial images.

Recognized technological leadership

The results of the FRVT test add to a series of awards received by IDEMIA for its augmented security solutions, especially in facial and fingerprint recognition. The company is committed to developing the most advanced technologies to offer solutions that provide speed, accuracy, and fairness. The results of the FRVT test once again demonstrate IDEMIA’s technological leadership in the field of biometrics, confirming its position as a leader in biometric technologies and innovations for over 40 years.

A mission of augmented security

These results reflect the level of technological excellence that IDEMIA has set for its AI solutions, in line with its mission to make the world a safer place by developing cutting-edge identity technologies.

IDEMIA is proud to outperform its competitors and provide authorities with the most performant systems on the market, continuing its long-standing commitment to augmented security.

High NIST Performance of Contactless Biometric scanner was given to IDEMIA

IDEMIA, the world leader in augmented identity, is celebrating the strong performance attributed to its MorphoWave fingerprint technology in May of this year after a NIST testing. The National Institute of Standards and Technology – NIST examined and revealed the results of a Contactless-to-Contact Fingerprint Capture, nevertheless the six contactless devices tested were not named.

The MorphoWave technology has beaten the other solutions in almost every category, it includes:

1/ Matching Rate; 2/ Image Capture Sample Rate; 3/ Minutia Similarity;

The test itself aimed to measure and compare contactless fingerprint solutions to more traditional contact-based technologies. In the end the comparison would show if those contactless options could be used in legacy fingerprint databases.

In the analysis of the results, it was proven that the contactless fingerprint tech’s accuracy was comparable to contact-based tech when scanning multiple prints. Also, the contactless solutions have low rates of FAR – False Acceptance Rate or if preferred, False positive matches. Still, the more traditional contact-based solutions were more accurate then contactless solutions when scanning one single print.

In the study’s regard, contactless device such as the MorphoWave could be used with existing databases. The old databases in organizations and companies do not need to be erased or discarded when using the new contactless technology. The interoperability between contact and contactless technologies is possible and IDEMIA notes that it is crucial since the onset of COVID-19, as many companies are migrating to contactless scanner in order to avoid a shared reader, which is more sanitary.

“We are delighted to see contactless fingerprint capture that is on the cusp of matching contact-based accuracy,” said IDEMIA CTO Jean-Christophe Fondeur. “Our MorphoWave Compact will seamlessly raise hygiene standards in a vast array of environments including corporate offices, stores, airports, theme parks and leisure and entertainment venues.”

MorphoWave Compact scanner has gained multiple new customers in the past few months. The sensor has been being installed in many condominiums and buildings in São Paulo, and at the Digital Garage in Tokyo.
