Biometrics in national identity register solutions

Neurotechnology offers biometric solutions for accurate and reliable civil identification based on fingerprint, palmprint, face, and iris recognition.

For civil identity documents like passports, national ID cards, driver's licenses, health insurance cards, etc., our system provides failsafe protection. Even in the absence of an ID, the solution supports recognizing people merely based on their fingerprints and/or faces.

We have been in the lead for the best fingerprint identification in terms of both speed and accuracy in the NIST algorithmic challenge for many years.
In 2020, NIST ranked our iris recognition algorithm as the second most accurate.
The five most accurate candidates as determined by NIST in 2019 were compared to our technique for matching palm prints, which was found to be both the fastest and most accurate overall.
In both 1:1 verification and 1:N identification scenarios, Neurotechnology's most recent facial recognition algorithm placed among the best algorithms.
