Example: Argentina
• Largest civil records system of its kind in
the world
• Intended for a national database of
Argentina's 40 million+ citizens
• Individuals are verified by fingerprint,
photo image and other identification
mechanisms.
• Processes up to 35,000 searches per day
• Capable of searching through 2 million
fingerprint records per second
• Allows Argentina to combat identity fraud
accurately, efficiently and cost-effectively.

Image Quality
Infrastructure
Technologies needed to
Implement International Security Mandates
•
•
•
•
Accurate, easy to use, cost-effective, multiple biometrics ID System
Tamper-proof biometrics technology
Intelligent Common Information Model for database interoperability
IT infrastructure for supporting massive processing and data
interchange
• Application infrastructure for easy adaptation to multiple applications
using the same or similar tool sets and framework
• Common globally accepted standards
• Secure and easy ways to exchange information for rapid search
results
Large Background Databases
• We have built systems that can handle databases varying in size
from 2 Million to 40 million ten print records
• We have implemented systems that can handle 10,000 to 30,000 or
more transactions per day.
• Future databases could be as large as 600 million to 1 billion ten
print records and may need to support 100 K to 1 million
transactions per day.
• Very high ten print accuracy against large databases is a must
• The need for fully automated (“Lights Out Systems”) biometrics
systems
• Inter-connectivity between local databases and national databases
• Need for very high speed matchers to provide fast response time
Image Quality
• State-of-the-Art
•Optical, ultrasound and chip sensors
•Ten print devices and single finger devices
•Image quality is always of major importance
• Challenges
•We need better more robust image sensors
•Seeking robust automatic image quality control to address user
needs
•Do we want cheap live scan systems or intelligent booking stations?
Infrastructure
• Architecture
• Modular
• Re-configurable
• Flexible Workflow
• Maximize throughput
• Mobile Connectivity
• Secure and universal access
• Multiple Biometrics
• Face
• Palm prints
• Iris
