Biometrics—the automated identification of a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics—is becoming the foundation of a wide array of personal identification and verification systems. These systems offer several advantages over traditional personal identification methods using ID cards or Personal Identification Numbers (PINs). Biometrics-based systems require that the person actually be physically present at the point of identification, while not requiring the person to remember a PIN or carry a token (e.g., ID card). Biometrics is increasingly being used in such applications as physical access control, computer log-in, welfare disbursement, international border crossing, and national ID cards.

Vangent designs and builds highly secure identification and personal verification solutions using advanced biometric technologies. These solutions support the scanning and data capture of persons subject to the process and the database storage of such information as digital photographs, digitized signatures, fingerprints, and other personal identification data. Our biometrics systems are designed to help clients enhance security and reduce financial fraud.
