Company profile
- Established
in 1999 in São Paulo, Brazil, Computer ID has quickly grown to become
one of the country's leading providers of biometric products and
solutions for government, public and private sector companies.
- Computer
ID offers a variety of biometric solutions for access control, time and
attendance, healthcare insurance applications and general
identification purposes.
- Company consultants work
closely with customers to develop, install and maintain biometric
systems that meet each customer's unique needs.
When Computer ID wanted to offer customers more secure 1:many authentication, VeriFinger hit the mark.
Computer ID has built a reputation for both quality and service,
delivering solutions that meet each customer's unique needs. While the
most common biometric fingerprint systems perform only 1:1 matching for
verification of a person's identity, a number of Computer ID's
customers required more robust, secure authentication systems that
could perform 1:N (one-to-many) recognition of a person's identity,
matching against large databases of enrolled fingerprints.
In 2000, Computer ID began searching for a
powerful algorithm which would enable them to build systems that could
perform both 1:1 and 1:N matching and which would be scaleable enough
to use with both small and large fingerprint databases.
Computer ID chose VeriFinger from Neurotechnologija.
"We
wanted to ensure our customers that the biometric fingerprint solutions
we provided would meet the level of accuracy and security they
required,"
said Evandro Schultz, director of Computer ID.
"VeriFinger
met our needs perfectly, and we continue to use the VeriFinger
algorithm in our products because it provides the combination of speed
and accuracy that enables us to guarantee our customers a high level of
security."
VeriFinger SDK helps Computer ID build software and build their business.
Computer ID has realized a number of significant business benefits from
using the VeriFinger Software Development Kit (SDK) to develop their
biometric solutions. Schultz cites three primary reasons why VeriFinger
has helped them build a strong business and reputation for quality,
including:
- Accuracy and speed of the VeriFinger algorithm
- the quick response time of the VeriFinger algorithm in identifying a
user enables Computer ID's solutions to be effectively deployed in a
wide variety of environments with small to large fingerprint databases,
- Low cost enables them to remain competitive in a growing market, and
- Efficient technical support from the Neurotechnologija team ensures a smooth development process using the VeriFinger SDK.
Around 90% of Computer ID's customers are using fingerprint
identification and the number is growing quickly. Schultz believes that
100% of their customers will be using biometric fingerprint
capabilities by the end of 2007 and cites the security and accuracy of
authentication as the main reason they are migrating to this technology
"VeriFinger has been a very good marketing tool for us in convincing our customers to use our solutions,"
Schultz added.
"It enables us to offer them the most secure, up-to-date biometric technology at a competitive price."
VeriFinger powers Computer ID's top-selling solutions.
The VeriFinger algorithm is the fingerprint identification engine for
three of Computer ID's top selling products, TouchAccess, TouchID and
RobotID. VeriFinger provides 1:1 and 1:N matching capabilities with the
convenience of speedy identification in one second or less. Because
VeriFinger gives developers complete control over the input and output,
Computer ID can easily integrate the biometric fingerprint
identification capabilities in these products with their customers'
legacy systems.
-
TouchAccess
is a complete access control solution that offers customers the speed,
convenience, security and cost-effectiveness of fingerprint
identification in a solution that can be customized to integrate with
existing access control systems.
-
TouchID is
Computer ID's time clock control system, which registers the user's
presence with a simple touch-in fingerprint scanner. Touch ID helps
eliminate time card fraud by ensuring that the user's identity is
verified, with time-in and time-out recorded in a database. This data
can be reported and archived and integrated with payroll systems.
-
RobotID is a
basic identification system that captures a fingerprint, performs
identification using a specified database and shows the identified
person's name or other data on the screen. The application also is able
to export data that can be processed by other applications.
About VeriFinger
The VeriFinger
fingerprint identification algorithm from Neurotechnologija is designed
for use by biometric system integrators and provides the capabilities
of the most powerful fingerprint recognition algorithms at a highly
competitive price.
VeriFinger's fingerprint matching has been
proven to be one of the fastest and most reliable among competing
identification algorithms in some of the industry's most rigorous
competitions.*
By combining a commonly accepted fingerprint identification scheme with
Neurotechnologija's proprietary algorithmic solutions that enhance
system performance and reliability, the VeriFinger algorithm provides
fast, reliable matching of specific fingerprint minutiae points for
both one-to-one and one-to-many matching.
VeriFinger SDK
enables the rapid development and integration of biometric applications
by giving integrators complete control over the SDK data input and
output. As one of the most widely compatible fingerprint identification
and matching SDKs in the industry, VeriFinger SDK can be used with any
scanner, any database and any user interface and on Microsoft Windows,
Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.
*
Neurotechnologija ranked among the top five companies for accuracy in
single-finger tests in the National Institute of Standards &
Technology (NIST)'s Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation for the US
Department of Justice; and the company's algorithms have consistently
won gold, silver and bronze medals in International Fingerprint
Verification Competitions (FVC2004, FVC2002 and FVC2000).
