Group Commences Round Four of Comparative Biometric
Testing: Sponsors Include Microsoft, American Airlines,

and Star Systems
NEW YORK, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/
-- International Biometric Group (IBG) announces the
commencement of Round Four of its Comparative Biometric
Testing, the industry's most extensive scenario-based
testing of biometric systems. Since 1998, IBG's
independent testing has generated detailed false match,
false non-match, and failure to enroll rates for leading
biometric systems, including fingerprint, facial-scan,
iris-scan, voice-scan, signature-scan and hand-scan
technologies.
The real-world performance
findings from IBG's Comparative Biometric Testing are
critical to public and private sector institutions
deploying biometric technology for employee, customer,
or citizen authentication. Ensuring that biometric
systems will operate effectively with a varied user
population -- as well as over an extended period of time
-- is a necessity for large-scale biometric deployments.
In Round Four, systems from
the following companies are being tested:
-- Bioscrypt (fingerprint) -- Nuance (voice-scan)
-- DigitalPersona (fingerprint) -- Recognition Systems (hand-scan)
-- Fujitsu (fingerprint) -- Siemens (fingerprint)
-- Identix (fingerprint) -- ST Microelectronics (fingerprint)
-- Indivos (fingerprint) -- Ultra-Scan (fingerprint)
-- Iridian (iris-scan)
Sponsored by leading IT,
airline, and financial services firms, IBG's Comparative
Biometric Testing emulates real-world operational
conditions as closely as possible to provide applicable
information on how well biometric technologies will
perform in the field. IBG testing utilizes commercially
available systems, normalizing enrollment and
verification effort levels across technologies to ensure
that test results can be compared across competing
systems. IBG's Comparative Biometric Testing also
collects extensive "user perception" data as
well as user perceptions of the usability, security,
privacy and invasiveness of different biometric systems.
Other companies that have
participated in the IBG testing are Ankari, Sony,
Veridicom, Advanced Precision, AuthenTec, Cyber-SIGN,
Ethentica, Net Nanny, Nuance, Precise Biometrics,
Visionics, AcSys Biometrics, BES, SAGEM MORPHO, SecuGen,
T-NETIX, and Viisage.
