IDEMIA Public Security Secures Its Leadership in the Market with #1 Rankings on all Fingerprint Related Benchmarks, Including ELFT, in the Latest NIST Results
IDEMIA's top position demonstrates its commitment to providing accurate, secure, and innovative solutions to enable and enhance the work of law enforcement and public safety agencies. COURBEVOIE, France, March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEMIA Public Security, the leading provider of secure and trusted biometric-based solutions, once again secures its leadership in the market with #1 rankings on all fingerprint related benchmarks, including the Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies (ELFT), in the latest National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) results. These industry-leading advancements enable law enforcement agencies, border security, and emergency response teams to enhance their operations with greater accuracy and speed. By achieving a #1 ranking in the Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies, IDEMIA Public Security showcases their continued outstanding leadership in NIST rankings, which represent the global benchmark and emphasize the need for transparent technology solutions among the industry. IDEMIA's technology continues to power critical safety and security applications, from forensic investigations to rapid identity verification in high-stakes scenarios. IDEMIA ranked #1 in the following categories: Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies (ELFT): Evaluations assess the accuracy of latent fingerprint identification (both fully automated or using features marked by experienced human latent fingerprint examiners) to evaluate the current state-of-the-art. Improving the accuracy of latent fingerprint identification enhances forensic investigations, enabling law enforcement to solve criminal cases more efficiently. Proprietary Fingerprint Template (PFT): Evaluations assess the accuracy of end-stage fingerprint matchers to assess the core algorithmic capability of performing one-to-one fingerprint verification. This strengthens national security by ensuring seamless one-to-one fingerprint verification, which is critical for border control and secure access management. Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX): Evaluations assess the performance of fingerprint matching software using interoperable minutiae-based fingerprint templates, measuring the effectiveness of various fingerprint verification algorithms. In real-life this ensures interoperability between different biometric systems, allowing agencies to collaborate more effectively across jurisdictions and intelligence networks. Slap Fingerprint Segmentation (SlapSeg): Evaluations assess the accuracy of algorithms used to segment slap fingerprint images into individual fingerprint images. With accurate algorithms, law enforcement and immigration authorities can be confident in their process and verification of identities at border crossings, airports, and correctional facilities, and can do it at faster speed NIST Mobile Fingerprinting Innovation Technology Challenge (mFIT): Evaluations advance mobile fingerprint capture technologies by building and demonstrating prototype applications to serve field applications. This provides law enforcement officers with critical field capability for fast field identification through the use of commercial, standard issue smartphones. "I'm extremely proud to share these latest NIST rankings where IDEMIA Public Security ranks #1 across the board on all fingerprint related benchmarks," shared Vincent Bouatou, Chief Technology Officer, IDEMIA Public Security. "At the end of the day, higher accuracy means more cases can be solved and more efficiently. At a time when protecting communities is paramount, as well as helping civil servants do their jobs efficiently and effectively, we are proud to deliver the highest level of performance and empower public safety officials and security agencies with technology that enhances investigations, border control operations, and identity verification in high-risk environments." These latest rankings follow IDEMIA Public Security's #1 ranking in fairness in Facial Recognition Technology Evaluation (FRTE) and Age Evaluation Verification (AEV) in November 2024. These achievements further underscore IDEMIA's commitment to advancing biometric technology in ways that protect civil liberties while strengthening security measures.
