We're proud to participate in the Prism Project's Biometric Digital Identity Government Services Prism Report and share that we've earned the ranking of Catalyst!
Here's a sneak peek from the report...
"Aware’s comprehensive portfolio, spanning every biometric modality (face, fingerprint, voice, and iris), is trusted by its government clients, whether they are seeking solutions for defense and intelligence, law enforcement, border management, or citizen ID. With a reputation for being ahead of the curve thanks to consistently prescient R&D efforts, Aware’s government solutions enhance security, tamp down fraud, and improve operations through accurate collection and sharing of biometric and identity data."
"Those plans for the future were previewed by NIST’s Patrick Grother in a webinar hosted by the Security Industry Association... Grother explained the types of evaluations that NIST performs for face biometrics and related technologies, and the proprietary databases it uses. He also reviewed how they are used by developers, governments and businesses, to improve the technology in the former case and to ensure it works well in the latter two. He also briefly touched on NIST’s work with iris, fingerprint and voice biometrics, as well as tattoo recognition." More in the article from Biometric Update here.
"Three of the papers selected for presentation at Safe Generative AI Workshop at NeurIPS 2024, held in Vancouver, Canada tackle challenges and advancements in the field of biometrics. The highlighted studies cover methodologies in biometric model interpretation, explore the weaknesses and security risks in identity verification, and investigate bias concerns within facial recognition models. Two of the papers were written by researchers from the Idiap Research Institute in Switzerland." Get more insights here.
