May 2005
San Diego-based ImageWare Systems’ IWS Law Enforcement identity-management solution received initial FBI certification. The system provides integrated fingerprint and palmprint biometric management for civil and law enforcement use. This initial certification was obtained using the Smiths Heimann’s LS1 LITE-Ue. Attaining this certification represents compliance with FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) Image Quality Specifications (IQS). “In addition, by utilizing the IWS™ Biometric Engine®, ImageWare provides additional solutions from background checking to worldwide identity management,” says Jim Miller, ImageWare’s chairman and chief executive officer. “The Company is pursuing additional FBI certifications that will further expand our identity-management solutions.” The IWS™ Biometric Engine® is a biometric identity-management platform for multibiometric enrollment, management, and authentication, managing population databases of unlimited sizes. The IWS Law Enforcement system is a digital booking, identification, and investigative solution that enables users to digitally capture, search, store and retrieve images and demographic data including mug shots, scars, marks and tattoos (SMTs), and fingerprints.
