Bio-Metrica develops new framework

Bio-Metrica has developed a new biometric framework aimed at providing biometric applications access to unified data with multiple types of biometrics and non-biometrics.The Biometric Identification Infrastructure (BII) is a web services framework that enables applications to use multiple biometric data types, such as fingerprint, facial recognition, iris, vein, speech and signature recognition, as well as non-biometric data types, such as smart cards, tokens and passwords, across different applications. According to Bio-Metrica, this unified approach to identification gives organisations the ability to enrol once and use the same data across different applications.Bio-Metrica says BII's modular approach allows organisations to support a variety of dissimilar biometrics across all applications. It also allows easy integration of existing applications, which would normally be unable to communicate with each other. It adds: "BII consolidates their data, and makes it easy to reduce duplication, fraud, or other activities that are easier to occur in single system solutions. Some of the applications include: AFIS, Biometric Identification System, Voter Registration System, National ID, Census, Driver's License, Border Control Systems, and any other automatic biometric and non biometric identification system."BII is available both as a separate framework with functions which can be used for development of third party applications or integrated with one of the company's other applications.BII can scale to work on a variety of platforms from PCs and laptops to mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. BII infrastructure also takes advantage of splitting processing between client and server systems with the ability to harness the computing power of agents via BII's core matcher manager.
