Challenge

Fingerprints are considered the holy grail of criminal-solving performance and general government record-keeping. With more than thousands of criminal and civil biometric entries being added into federal databases every day, law enforcement and forensic teams require a quick-access, secure, and low-weight system for capturing, searching, verifying, and retrieving IDs. The key here is to not trade off accessibility while securing biometric information, and this presents a complex challenge for public sector business users.
