U.S. National Institute of Standards & Technology ranks Sagem Sécurité No. 1 in fingerprint-based authentification
May 2010 by Marc Jacob
Sagem Sécurité (Safran group), announced that its fingerprint-based personal
authentification technology was ranked No. 1 in the Proprietary Fingerprint Testing (PFT)*
competition organized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), the
global benchmark for the measurement of biometric algorithms.
Sagem Sécurité’s powerful algorithms have once again earned recognition for their
accuracy, following the FBI’s selection of the company’s fingerprint identification technology
for their Next Generation Identification (NGI)** system, and the demonstration of Sagem
Sécurité’s technological leadership in the NIST’s Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint
Technologies: Extended Feature Sets (ELFT-EFS) test.
Sagem Sécurité has more than 35 years of experience in automated fingerprint recognition
technologies, and continues to confirm its world leadership in this competitive market.
Through its participation in NIST tests, Sagem Sécurité plays a major role in the
development of biometric technologies, with a firm commitment to continued investment in
R&D that generates benefits for all customers.
