Why Biometric Solutions?

Biometric verification is any means by which a person can be uniquely identified by evaluating one or more distinguishing biological traits. Unique identifiers include fingerprints, facial features, retina and iris patterns and voice waves. Digital Identity Authority implements custom biometric solutions whether it be for a small business or a large-scale biometric solution to combat fraud and security related issues. The oldest form of biometric verification is fingerprinting. Historians have found examples of thumbprints being used as a means of unique identification on clay seals in ancient China. Biometric verification has advanced considerably with the advent of computerized databases and the digitization of data, allowing for almost instantaneous personal identification.

Digital Identity Authority provides end-to-end biometric solutions which includes the supply and support of hardware as well as integration development services in order to tailor the solution to your specific requirements. Voice waveform recognition, a method of verification that has been used for many years with tape recordings in telephone wiretaps, is now being used for access to proprietary databanks in research facilities. Facial-recognition technology has been used by law enforcement to pick out individuals in large crowds with considerable reliability. Digital Identity Authority provides a biometric engine which has matching capabilities using facial and fingerprint authentication. We are also able to verify a person using fingerprint or facial verification via Relevant Authority using your unique South African ID.
