Innovatrics algorithm obtains MINEX certification.
The MINEX (Minutiae Interoperability Exchange Test) large-scale testing, organized by US government's NIST, was started on March 2005.
The objective of the test was to evaluate the interoperability between 1:1 algorithms from 14 different vendors using standard minutiae template (ANSI-INCITS 378).
Of the 14 algorithm vendors only 6 obtained MINEX certification for both feature extractor and matcher - the list can be consulted here.
Bioscrypt, company amongst the certified vendors, presented the 1:1 minutiae algorithm licensed from Innovatrics. The quality of Innovatrics algorithm was therefore proven twice.
MINEX certification is a requirement for PIV (Personal Identity Verification) program. PIV of Federal Employees and Contractors is the title of FIPS201 (Federal Information Processing Standard 201) which was developed to satisfy the requirements of HSPD-12 (Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12).
As a result, integrators of fingerprint systems for US Government projects are required to use a MINEX-certified algorithm.
Innovatrics is open to license its state-of-the-art algorithm to other biometric vendors, thus enhancing vendor interoperability. Please contact us at sales@innovatrics.com or +33 1 45 81 71 27.
