Facial Biometric Solutions for Identity Management
Confidence in Genuine Identity
Preventing and combating identity theft, fraud and other crimes, including international terrorism, is an increasingly high priority throughout the democratic world. In the global fight against crime and disorder, improved identity management and higher levels of confidence in the validity of personal identity are some of society’s most valuable weapons. The accurate establishment of genuine identity is a 'must-have' ingredient in the effective admixture of security, convenience and civil liberty essential to life in a modern democracy.
Modern e-passports and biometrically enabled ID Cards are good examples. The driving licence with built-in biometric data is another. The ease with which such identity documents and tokens can be stolen, forged and falsified makes it essential that positive personal identity checks are built into them whenever possible. The facial recognition identity check is the most natural, least intrusive and most user-friendly biometric modality available.

The company’s uniquely powerful Affinity™ technology is ideally suited to customers’ needs. Already in widespread deployment with satisfied customers in the law enforcement and access control fields, Affinity™ facial biometric solutions are second to none in accuracy and reliability.
New Biometric British Passport
In March 2006, the UK Identity and Passport Service (IPS) launched the new British biometric passport as a counter-fraud initiative. Its pages have intricate designs, watermarks and a chip antenna, making it harder to forge and enabling it to take advantage of positive biometric identity checks.
Public Attitudes in Britain
UK consumers are the most open in Europe to the use of biometrics to verify their identities according to the Unisys Security Index (November 2008).
