Aware’s Offering Tops the List from US Companies Ranked by MINEX III on Generator and Matcher Leaderboards
January 12 2021 - 9:00AM
Aware, Inc., (NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading global provider of
biometrics software products, solutions and services, today
announced its results in the NIST MINEX III (Minutiae
Interoperability Exchange) evaluation—a test used to establish
compliance of template generators and template matchers for the
U.S. Government's Personal Identity Verification (PIV) program.
NIST’s MINEX III evaluation is generally considered a stringent
benchmark for state-of-the art fingerprint template generation and
matching. Aware is one of only two US companies to achieve this
certification and its offering ranks the highest from US companies
for template generators and matchers.
The MINEX III is an interoperability standard test for
fingerprint recognition software, which is run by NIST, and
evaluates the compliance of template generators and template
matchers across different vendors. MINEX III is tested on a dataset
that generates 2 million finger templates and performs around 3
million finger matching operations per submission. Aware submitted
its fingerprint biometric algorithms to test in the pooled
two-finger ranking for both template generator and template matcher
evaluations.
“Compliance with the PIV program is often a mandatory
requirement for worldwide public and private organizations that use
or require fingerprint technology. This is because it guarantees
both the security and interoperability,” said Dr. Mohamed Lazzouni,
chief technology officer of Aware. “By completing this
certification, Aware has taken on the investment required to get
certified so that our customers do not have to undergo this process
themselves. We are extremely proud to not only offer this for our
customers, but to also rank among the best, representing one of
only two US companies recognized.”
Aware’s fingerprint generating and matching capability is used
in its AwareABIS™ family of products and its AwareXM™ solution.
More information about the entire suite of offerings from Aware
can be found on Aware’s website.
