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 />
