09 - 01 - 2010 - US Security Agency unveils outstanding performance from id3 Fingerprint Recognition Technology

Le Fontanil, September 10^th, 2010,

id3 Semiconductors, a global provider of fingerprint recognition solutions, today announced that the company’s fingerprint recognition technology has demonstrated outstanding performance in a multivendor evaluation conducted by the NIST US Agency.

The NIST MINEX test results were released on September the 1^st, 2010 and showing that id3’s fingerprint template extractor leads to the lowest error rate to date in fingerprint verification, outperforming all previously submitted extractors from more than 20 vendors, including well-known biometric market leaders. The company’s template matcher also recorded excellent results.

This achievement establishes the compliance of id3’s technology with US government's PIV program and demonstrates its ability to efficiently extract and compare fingerprint standardized information, even from poor quality images. It is also completely independent of the sensing technology used for fingerprint image capture, including optical, capacitive and thermal sensors.

The complete MINEX results can be found at http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/ominex_test-results.cfm. id3’s fingerprint template extractor (2Y) reached a top-level 0.24% false non-match rate at a fixed 0.01 false match for two fingers.

id3’s certified technology is already featured in the id3 Fingerprint Software Development Kit, for integration of state-of-the-art, standardized and sensor independent fingerprint verification on a computer. In combination with its Fingerprint On-Card Comparison technology (certified by MINEX II on June 2009), id3 can provide a complete biometric solution ensuring very high security while preserving user’s privacy.

About NIST MINEX Evaluation

Conducted by NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) and sponsored by the Justice Management Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security US-VISIT program, the Minutiae Interoperability Exchange Test (MINEX) provides measurements of performance and interoperability between different vendors using standardized minutiae data. It also establishes the compliance with the United States Government's Personal Identity Verification (PIV) program.

06 - 12 - 2009 - Oberthur/id3 Fingerprint On-Card Comparison biometrics meets NIST Criteria

Paris June 12^th , 5.45 pm

On 9 June 2009, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published the results of Phase III of the MINEX II program.

MINEX II evaluates the performances of fingerprint matching algorithms running on smart cards. The main advantage of On-Card Comparison is to enhance security and user privacy since the reference biometric data never leaves the card. It provides a very secure way of authenticating the card holder.

Oberthur Technologies/id3 On-Card comparison is one of two technologies that have successfully met NIST criteria.

The report clearly shows the capacity of the Oberthur/id3 algorithm to deliver exceptional performances in terms of interoperability, accuracy and speed, while maintaining an error rate lower than the thresholds defined in the US government's PIV program. The algorithm is the fruit of joint development by Oberthur Technologies and id3 Semiconductors, which have been working together since 1999 when the first proof of concept of On-Card Comparison was demonstrated.

Regardless of which of the 19 approved vendors were used to extract the fingerprint minutiae of 123,962 individuals, the Oberthur /id3 matcher demonstrated high accuracy with an error rate of under 0.55%. The algorithm not only exceeds PIV specifications, but is also the fastest to date with an average of 0.28 seconds per positive match. Another advantage, and not the least, is its very low consumption of processor resources (<3kB code, 1kB data), which facilitates implementation on a smart card. The On-Card algorithm was validated on Oberthur's Java platform, ID-One^TM Cosmo.

This result opens the way to large-scale rollout of smartcard-embedded biometric verification technologies, doing away with the proprietary constraints imposed previously by the capture equipment used for enrollment or verification.

"By validating fingerprint comparison technology embedded on smart cards based exclusively on ISO/IEC 7816-11 and ISO/IEC 19794-2 standards, the NIST demonstrates the feasibility of implementing standardized solutions for rapid, interoperable matching with a high degree of accuracy, while remaining completely independent of the infrastructure used," said Christophe Goyet, Technical Marketing Director Identity for Oberthur North America."

"Recognition by the NIST of our On-Card algorithm rewards the work we have done over the last 10 years to promote adoption of this technology, which is less demanding in infrastructure and respects citizens' privacy. By successfully testing its performances, the NIST proved the maturity of On-Card comparison, thereby opening the way to numerous applications," commented Jean-Louis Revol, President of id3 Semiconductors.

The complete NIST report is available on http://fingerprint.nist.gov/minexII/.
