Crossmatch is a world leader in biometric identity<br />

management solutions. With deployments in over 80<br />

countries worldwide, Crossmatch biometric capture<br />

devices are used daily to identify individuals and authenticate<br />

claimed identities. Our latest compact, mobile,<br />

handheld solution, the Verifier ® Sentry, is a highly flexible<br />

Android-based device designed to rapidly identify/<br />

authenticate an individual using their fingerprint or<br />

secure credential, such as contact and contactless cards.<br />

<strong>The</strong> handheld enables government and enterprise<br />

personnel to perform identity and credential checks and<br />

initiate workflows anywhere, anytime. Incorporating a<br />

FAP30 fingerprint sensor, the Verifier Sentry captures<br />

more data points than FAP10 sensors found in many<br />

mobile devices. This is imperative when matching an<br />

unknown subject’s fingerprint to a backend database or<br />

watchlist. A March 2014 report from the National Institute<br />

of Standards and Technology (NIST)* states FAP10<br />

submissions fail to identify their target approximately<br />

twice as often as FAP20 or FAP30 – a situation that could<br />

lead to missed apprehensions, compromised safety, denied<br />

benefits or unauthorized access in commercial or<br />

government use cases. While FAP10 may be sufficient on<br />

personal devices or one-to-one matching of a cooperative<br />

subject, a FAP30 is the best solution for identifying<br />

unknown or uncooperative persons. <strong>The</strong> Verifier Sentry<br />

is offered with <strong>Digital</strong>Persona ® Commander, a mobile<br />

device management tool that provides the secure communications<br />

tunnel to the handheld and remote matching<br />

databases, protecting data integrity and personal<br />
