- Powerful Multi-Modal Fusion Platform Powers Privacy-Enhancing Biometric Technology
WCC Smart Search & Match, a leading provider of high-performance search and match software, today announced its collaboration with priv-ID, a leader in providing biometric technology that guarantees privacy and anonymity for the user. The collaboration will provide enhanced identification and authentication for WCC’s ELISE ID - The Platform for Multi-Modal Fusion.
The ELISE ID platform, which delivers multi-modal fusion across both biographic and biometric data uses priv-ID’s biometric technology for fast fingerprint identification. ELISE ID offers a very flexible system for identification that addresses the needs of legacy systems with biographic data as well as the evolving needs for innovative biometrics, such as those from priv-ID.
In a demonstration to be available at the upcoming Biometric Consortium Conference in Tampa, Florida, and at Biometrics2009 in London, UK, WCC and priv-ID are collaborating to show score-level biometric fusion and cascaded fusion in action. This demonstration will run on ELISE ID’s massively parallel architecture with one million profiles consisting of biographic and biometric data and will deliver identifications with sub-second response times. A special feature of the demo is its ability to dynamically switch fusion methods and algorithms to show how ELISE ID can be adapted to situations with specific data or search requirements.
“With priv-ID we are able to show our customers a great integration of privacy-enhancing biometrics with the leading biometric fusion platform,” said Peter Went, CEO of WCC, “We are eager to show our large-scale database demo in Tampa and in London, which showcases the priv-ID technology within a highly reliable and scalable infrastructure.”
“The combination of our truly private biometrics and the ELISE ID platform offers real advantages for identity solutions in fields ranging from health care and banking to government IDs,” said Michiel van der Veen, CEO of priv-ID.
For a demonstration of priv-ID and ELISE ID in action, please visit booth #413 at the Biometrics Consortium Conference in Tampa, Florida or booth #305 at Biometrics 2009 in London. To schedule a private demo at the conference, please contact marketing@wcc-group.com
