Smartmatic Identity Management Solutions (SIMS)

Comprehensive Biometric Identity...




Smartmatic Identity Management Solutions (SIMS) is the complete combination of services and technology that enables governments and large corporations to manage personal identity using biometric security. With SIMS’s full-featured solution, a higher level of capability is possible in a wider range of applications. From voter and civil registration to immigration control and national identity projects, SIMS provides, security, efficiency and economy.

Now you can implement secure, reliable identity management programs with confidence:

Full project coverage – SIMS comprises all the technology components and services required for a full-fledged identity management solution involving enrollment, consolidation, duplicate detection, analysis and adjudication, ID production and mining , as well as interfacing with third-party identity point-of-use systems.

Next-generation enrollment equipment – The PARmobile is quite simply the most advanced device for enrollment of people. It’s portable and rugged, designed for optimal use in field applications. And all the essential components are already contained in a single unit to simplify set up and eliminate equipment loss.

Multi-biometric support – Different biometric technologies can be combined to meet special needs and optimize specific processes. This includes iris, fingerprint, face and voice recognition technologies. These can be used in fused mode to maximize accuracy and/or performance.

Information is kept secure – All critical data is captured and stored in a tamper-proof manner, using the industry’s most robust technologies for data security, encryption and integrity.

Adaptable to customer processes – Our technology can be configured to meet the workflow of our customers, from the initial enrollment stage and all the way to the stages of ID production, identity registry maintenance, and points of use.

Leverage legacy systems – We migrate our clients’ existing people registry and complement it with newly collected biographic and biometric information. This very useful service means your project doesn’t always have to start from scratch or duplicate effort.
Based on standards – The systems that make up our technology solution comply with the most widely accepted and respected standards developed by the FBI, NIST, ANSI and ISO/IEC for quality and performance in the biometric capture, storage, matching and data interchange processes. The data quality controls are in place to guarantee all data captured meets the highest levels of quality and integrity.


HOW IT WORKS...

Implementation of the Smartmatic Identity Management Solutions, which involves the careful coordination of technology and people, typically follows this set of steps:
1) Migration: Build a baseline by migrating existing databases and/or digitize existing paper records.
2) Enrollment: Capture a person’s biographic and biometric data ensuring top quality, and store it in a tamper-proof and standards-based data package.
3) Consolidation: Transfer all captured data to a single central location over secure networks or transported on physical storage media.
4) Duplicate detection: Find potential aliases, both biographically and biometrically, within the collected data. Use fused biometric technologies (iris, fingerprint, face, etc.) to maximize accuracy and/or performance.
5) Analysis: Using pre-defined business rules, rule out false positives. Classify unresolved potential aliases and submit them to a trained operator for investigation.
6) Adjudication: Potential alias cases are resolved and marked as valid/invalid records. All unique people records lead to an ID production request.
7) ID Production: Valid people records result in the production of a printed/laminated identity document (cards, passports, etc.) usually under strict security procedures.
8) Delivery: IDs are handed to their owners after verifying their identity using live biometric measurements and biometric info stored in the ID.

This workflow and its details are customized to client needs. For instance, one client may not need migration from a legacy system, while another may require a pre-enrollment process prior to formal enrollment and yet another may not want ID production. We are responsive to the unique needs of each project.
