digiPROOF the fingerprint payment system relies on a one to many biometric identification. To guarantee smooth operation of the system highest standards are applied to procedures and hardware.

 

Reliable recognition identification is highly depended of good image data. Hence the acquisition hardware has to provide a maximum quality raw image.  To guarantee this, it-werke uses one single finger print scanners, conform to FBI standards ANSI/NIST outlined in appendix G.

To insure desired quality, saving a digiPROOF template is designed as a multi step procedure. First three raw images are acquired and image quality is assessed. If predetermined thresholds are not obtained, the whole process has to be redone. Raw data are than aggregated and a template is written into a temporary database.

Already in the acquisition process a 1:n identification takes place. This step reveals overall image quality and reliability of later identifications. If quality standards and benchmarks are not met, the process has to be redone.

 

The effort deployed to obtain good quality templates is high. It is however justified, because it avoids time consuming capture of two fingers or complicated verification of complementary data like phone numbers. The initial efforts keep the whole process lean and fast, while reliability of the system is ascertained.

 

Daily operation approves it-werkes´ quality standards. The digiPROOF fingerprint payment system is fast and comfortable. The customers trust in our competence is backed by history. To date there were no false matches by it-werke biometric systems.

 

Seriousness deployed during the first registration is maintained throughout the whole digiPROOF process. Databases are back-upped and secured according to newest state-of-the-art technologies. Undue access to crucial data is thus impractical. All user interfaces are designed in such a way, that a mix of user data and templates is excluded.
