The Future of Biometrics
Throughout the world, security threats have become an inescapable reality of life in the 21st century. Governments and private enterprises share the monumental responsibility of protecting borders, securing critical infrastructures, providing airport security and ensuring the safety of the public.
The science of biometrics has offered us a new approach for managing these security threats. From fingerprint to face recognition, biometric technologies offer unprecedented accuracy, integrity and ability to identify threats in advance of their arrival.
However, biometric systems rely upon extremely accurate data and images and unfortunately, many current implementations fall short of promised performance because of faulty databases, poor image quality or the inability to secure the cooperation of surveillance subjects (i.e. terrorists) making identity matching difficult.
CryptoMetrics® has developed the world's most sophisticated biometric devices and software to overcome these challenges. Our SecurIDent™ face recognition products are unique in their ability to track and recognize multiple faces in one image in real-time, without the active participation of subjects under surveillance. And our FingerSURE™ fingerprint recognition products provide added layers of security, requiring users to authenticate their identity via fingerprint analysis, protecting access to computer systems and sensitive data.Together SecurIDent and FingerSURE provide a level of Imagery, Integrity and Identity that is unparalleled in the biometric marketplace today.
Headquartered in Tuckahoe, NY, just outside of New York City, CryptoMetrics also maintains offices in Ottawa, Canada, New York City, NY, and Washington, D.C. The company has provided services for such clients as United States Army, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, The German Ministry of the Interior and German Federal Police, the U.K. and New Zealand Passport Services and the Dutch Ministry of the Interior.
CryptoMetrics was formed in 2000 by Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale based on their vision to provide a higher level of security for electronic communications, e-transactions and data storage. Through their extensive experience in business development, Mr. Barra and Mr. Vitale assembled a talented management and technical development team that embarked on creating a solution to the growing need for improved methods of online and data security. CryptoMetrics SecurIDent face recognition technologies were developed by Joel Shaw, an internationally recognized expert in machine-readable travel documents and border management systems.
