Identity Management

Biometrics used in a national ID system serves to accurately authenticate valid use of national ID cards by citizens.

NEC’s biometrics matching engine, empowered by our fingerprint identification technology, offers both 1:1 verification and scalable 1:n identification matching for medium- to large-scale projects. It enables quick and seamless integration by system integrators and solution providers into their national ID solutions and products. To date, many countries in the world have chosen national ID systems built with NEC’s biometrics technologies for the unrivaled matching accuracy.

For a computerized voter ID system with a huge database storing voters’ data, biometrics provides an effective way to ensure the fast and accurate verification of each voter’s identity on the election day.
NEC’s biometrics technology empowers system integrators and solution providers, and allows them to embed the maximum fast and accurate fingerprint identification technology into their voter ID system solutions.

The use of biometrics provides the ability to create a secure driver's license system, eliminating duplicate and fraudulent driver's licenses.

NEC’s biometrics technology enables system integrators and solution providers to build a secure driver’s license system, incorporating our fingerprint technology in the driver’s license issuance or renewal process to verity the identity of the driver’s license holder.

E-passport is a solution that combines smart card technology and biometrics technology. A contactless card storing the traveler’s identity information is embedded in his or her travel documents (e.g., passport). Biometrics information about passport holders will be authenticated against information on the chip, and details including fingerprint and/or facial data will be embedded in the chips for access later.

NEC’s biometrics technology enables system integrators and solution providers to create e-Passport solutions, utilizing the world’s highest accurate fingerprint identification technology to verity the traveler’s identity.

Demands for border security are determined by two essential factors: the worldwide increase in criminality - with illegal border crossings, counterfeit IDs and documents or unauthorized access - as well as the need for increased efficiency and economy when handling large streams of persons. This requires new concepts and solutions for border security. The next generation of ID and travel documents containing biometrics security features will be almost impossible to forge.

Biometrics enables you to be sure that the ID document is genuine, that the travel document belongs to the holder or of the person’s true identity. Based on technology used for AFIS systems, NEC’s border control management solutions, in combination with biometrics ID cards and e-passports, serves you needs when innovative, automated fingerprint identification or face recognition technology is desired.
