Important Trends: Multimodality and Mobility
• Multimodality provides versatility in ID verification; best biometric for the need – Embraced by US Gov’t and beyond: US DoD, DoS, DHS, FBI; India; Indonesia; Mexico; Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
• Mobile biometrics emerging key market due to in-field enrollment and identification needs
Iris Fingerprint Face Voice
Superior matching accuracy; Fast search; Consistency in the field
Well established technology with significant infrastructure; Forensic link
Core biometric on travel and ID documents; Human verification
Emerging use cases; leverages broad existing audio infrastructure
Smart ID by nature relies on multimodality for use case versatility
• Deportee blacklist: UAE – SECURITY – >350,000 iris database – At least 80,000 instances caught trying to re-enter
• Enrollment – de-duplication: Indonesia – ACCURACY – >140M National ID database – Fingerprint/Face used in rare cases as back-up
• Facilitation – Token-less ID: Canada – EFFICIENCY – NEXUS program for US-Canadian border – Self-service kiosks: no additional paperwork/certification needed
