Neurotechnologija, a provider of high-precision biometric identification technologies, announced that the company’s MegaMatcher 2.0 fingerprint recognition algorithm has received full certification in the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Minutiae Interoperability Exchange Test (MINEX). The MINEX test evaluates fingerprint template encoding and matching to determine compliance with the government’s Personal Identity Verification (PIV) program for the identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors. This certification puts MegaMatcher 2.0 SDK into the U.S. government buyers’ certified list of fingerprint recognition algorithms, which will allow Neurotechnologija as well as its distributors and integrators to compete for biometric procurements related to the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS 201) and the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD 12).
