Aware has been an important player in the biometrics industry for decades now, but the company has enjoyed renewed attention in recent years thanks to its Knomi solution. A mobile authentication app that first relied primarily on facial recognition, Knomi has just undergone an upgrade, with voice biometrics added to the mix alongside enhanced liveness detection capabilities. Naturally, then, Knomi was the starting point in a new interview between FindBiometrics President & CEO Peter O’Neill and Aware’s Chief Commercial Officer, Rob Mungovan. From there, the conversation moves on to Aware’s ..read more

Three case studies demonstrate how agencies around the world use Aware’s BioSP™ to process and share biometric data

Biometric search workflows require many processes across multiple systems, especially when several government agencies are exchanging biometric information between different countries. For example, enrolling fingerprints to a biometric database for law enforcement is a very different workflow than enrolling them into a civil database for immigration purposes. Even biometric systems that serve the same function can have different data formats. For example, a biometric search service provided by a U.S. federal law enforcement or border management agency might not have the same data ..read more

Part One: The Connected Car Future This is not your father’s Oldsmobile. After a hundred years of incremental improvements in the performance, efficiency, safety, and reliability of our automobiles, today we are in the midst of what can be argued is a truly revolutionary change in what it means to drive a car. Our vehicles have become supercomputers on wheels, with hundreds of sensors collecting every imaginable datapoint, thousands of times every second. Advances in wireless connectivity such as those promised by 5G networks are transforming the way we hit the road. Vehicles of ..read more

Liveness detection in biometrics is essential for mobile authentication and onboarding
Aware Biometrics Blog
by Aware, Inc.
4y ago
Mobile biometrics offer banks and other businesses a way to more effectively verify the identities of their new and existing customers. Mobile onboarding allows a prospective banking customer to open an account without visiting a branch. Biometrics make this identity proofing process more robust and secure. New customers can then use their biometrics in place of passwords for more secure and convenient mobile authentication. Facial recognition is a particularly useful biometric modality for mobile onboarding and authentication: ● Nearly all mobile devices have built-in cameras t ..read more

Biometrics-based patient identification: a prescription for better healthcare  
Aware Biometrics Blog
by Aware, Inc.
4y ago
The introduction of electronic health records has improved healthcare providers’ abilities to securely exchange patient data. Health data gives practitioners the most up-to-date medical information, including medications, allergies, and other health-related factors that influence treatment. But EHR is only effective if clinicians are confident the health record actual belongs to the person they’re treating. Unfortunately, no standard for patient identification exists in the U.S. or in much of Europe. Healthcare facilities use whatever means they can to verify patients’ identities. This is trou ..read more

Optimizing biometric algorithms for large-scale law enforcement applications
Aware Biometrics Blog
by Aware, Inc.
4y ago
The use of biometrics in law enforcement dates as far back as the late 1800s. But early matching methods such as the Henry System were time-consuming and often inconclusive; it wasn’t until the 1970s that computers began helping law enforcement agencies automate fingerprint matching to achieve greater efficiency and accuracy. In the 1980s, the FBI created the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). This involved capturing traditional ink-on-card fingerprints, or tenprints, so they could be stored electronically. The FBI indexed these images so that fingerprints lifted from a crime ..read more

Civil ABIS for Citizen ID and Border Management 
Aware Biometrics Blog
by Aware, Inc.
4y ago
A civil ABIS (automated biometric identification system) stores and searches biometric data enrolled from a civilian population for applications such as citizen credentialing and border management. Its purpose is to compare one biometric sample (e.g. fingerprint, face, or iris) to those of everyone else in one or more databases in order to retrieve that record in the database. In this way, the claimed identity of the individual can be confirmed, their presence in a watch list can be detected, and duplicate identities can be prevented. An ABIS differs from an “AFIS” in that is can handle biomet ..read more

Addressing Vendor Lock-In in ABIS Systems | White Paper
Aware Biometrics Blog
by Aware, Inc.
4y ago
“Vendor lock-in” is a term that describes when a technology vendor imposes switching costs upon their customer—intentionally or otherwise—to make it unattractive for them to replace their installed products. It’s done by designing and deploying a system in such a way that makes it exceedingly difficult, risky, or expensive to replace part or all of the system. The effect is that the vendor can earn a virtual monopoly within that account on future product and service revenue. The phenomenon is universal, but vendor lock-in has occurred in the biometrics realm, typically involving ..read more
