MBSS

IDEMIA has been involved in biometric research since the early 1980s and our biometric research group has been a leading contributor to the dramatic improvements in accuracy and interoperability over the last 40 years.

MBSS (Multi-Biometric Search Services), IDEMIA’s core engine for multi-biometric identification, is the result of this expertise. This engine, designed for both accuracy and speed, compares biometric data to establish if a person already exists in a database. It employs IDEMIA’s top performing biometric algorithms for fingerprint and palm print identification, iris recognition, facial recognition and tattoo recognition. These algorithms consistently perform at the top of NIST¹ rankings. They also drive the world’s largest biometric system in India (Aadhaar), which registered more than 1 million records per day at the peak of the project and currently exceeds 1.3 billion records.

MBSS provides three main categories of services, depending on the end use and the delivered version:

• Biometric matching services, including 1:n identification searches, 1:1 authentications and forensic searches of latent prints.
• Image processing services, including feature extraction, template creation, image segmentation and sequence checking.
• Database management services including adding, updating and removing identity records.

Incorporated into IDEMIA’s identity and security products, MBSS is also available to major third-party integrators.
