Omnigarde's Fingerprint Software passed the U.S. Government's PIV full certification

Omnigarde's Fingerprint Software passed the U.S. Government's Personal Identity Verification (PIV) full certification and achieved top-1 performance in the template matching interoperability test among the US-submitted template matchers.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. - Feb. 21, 2023 - PRLog -- Omnigarde, LLC, a US biometrics company, announced its test results in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Fingerprint Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX) III evaluation. The MINEX III is an interoperability standard ongoing test to evaluate fingerprint recognition software from worldwide fingerprint developers, which is run by NIST and evaluates the compliance of template generators and template matchers across different vendors. The test establishes the compliance of template generators and template matchers for the U.S. Government's Personal Identity Verification (PIV) program. NIST's MINEX III test is the most stringent benchmark to evaluate fingerprint template generation and matching. On February 10, 2023, Omnigarde submitted its AI-based fingerprint recognition software(Omnigarde+0003) for the MINEX III evaluation. The software not only passed PIV full certification, but also achieved top-1 performance in the template matching interoperability test among the US-submitted template matchers and top-6 among all worldwide submissions. "Omnigarde is proud of its fingerprint MINEX software achieving PIV full certification and achieving the top-6 ranking fingerprint template matching performance among all submitted software. This is a great enhancement to our biometric technologies portfolio,"  said Omnigarde Founder/CEO Dr. Peter Lo.
The NIST PIV program defines two levels of accuracy specifications. Vendors only achieve full compliance if they satisfy all the requirements for both Level 1 and Level 2 PIV compliance. Compliance with the PIV program is often mandatory for worldwide public and private tenders that require fingerprint technology. The US Government mandates the use of only PIV Programmed fingerprint template generators and matchers as it guarantees security and interoperability.
