CamraIB expands IB’s portfolio of award-winning FBI-certified scanners with contactless fingerprint biometric devices
SPARTANBURG, S.C., July 7, 2021 – Integrated Biometrics (IB), the world leader in mobile FBI-certified biometric fingerprint scanners, today announced it will provide advanced touchless technology that enables developers to turn smartphones into high-resolution biometric devices. The alliance reflects IB’s commitment to providing leadership in fingerprint collection technology to the industry and is the culmination of years of joint efforts to develop such technology.
The announcement expands IB’s reach as the global leader in FBI-certified fingerprint scanners in the evolving arena of high-resolution contactless fingerprint identity. IB will work with industry experts to help define the standards for contactless platforms offering interoperability with legacy databases created with traditional scanners. CamraIB touchless biometrics API is the first of many contactless offerings that IB will bring to market.
“As a leader in the FBI-certified biometrics scanner space, IB sees contactless fingerprint identity as an emerging and exciting modality,” said Steve Thies, CEO of Integrated Biometrics.
We believe CamraIB will provide our customers globally the ability to expand their identity capabilities using their fleets of smartphones. – Steve Thies, CEO of IB
Already, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a Best Practices Recommendation (NIST Special Publication 500-334) on using mobile device biometrics to create contactless biometric records to search against existing legacy fingerprint databases. This document was created to encourage the evaluation of this emerging technology which will lead to the establishment of an FBI standard for search-only contactless fingerprint image quality requirements.
“As a company, we’re constantly striving for innovation and looking to help solve our customers’ problems,” said Integrated Biometrics EVP David Gerulski. “This touchless technology will expand our customers’ ability to efficiently verify identity in the field through a smartphone. The myriad of use cases for military, law enforcement, border protection, financial services, and humanitarian efforts highlights the strong need for this standard globally. This technology is going to be a game changer.”
