Idemia Smart Identity’s biometrics service received OSIA Qualified status, ensuring its interoperability with identity management systems. CertiPath’s IdentityManager achieved FIDO2 certification for passwordless authentication solutions. Invixium is now certified under the LenelS2 access control system, showcasing its biometric integration capabilities. These advancements underscore the importance of standards in the evolving biometrics landscape.
Idemia Smart Identity has achieved Qualified status for its multimodal automated biometrics identification service from the Open Standards Identity API (OSIA). This qualification guarantees its compatibility with disparate identity management systems, which is crucial for governmental operations. The Biometric Recognition System (IBRS), central to their identity management solution, offers a comprehensive suite of biometric recognition services. Idemia’s Senior Product Manager, Guillaume Berteau, highlights the importance of this qualification in supporting system evolution without vendor lock-in, emphasizing their commitment to OSIA’s goals.
Additionally, CertiPath’s IdentityManager has been certified as a FIDO2 server by the FIDO Alliance, ensuring compliance with passwordless authentication standards. This solution is versatile, accommodating various credential types to satisfy organizational security needs. Recently, CertiPath integrated its TrustVisitor solution with Idemia’s digital identity offerings to enhance its capabilities.
Moreover, Invixium has secured factory certification for its biometric authentication systems under the LenelS2 OnGuard access control system for versions 8.2 and 8.3. The IXM WEB 3.0 platform has long supported integration with OnGuard, enabling a seamless incorporation of biometric systems into existing access management frameworks. Invixium’s CEO, Shiraz Kapadia, noted their distinction as the first biometric provider to achieve such certification.
The advancements in biometrics technology are significantly enhancing identity verification and management systems. As organizations increasingly require secure and interoperable solutions, certifications from bodies like OSIA and FIDO Alliance are pivotal in ensuring that innovation aligns with industry standards. The OSIA framework specifically addresses interoperability concerns, thereby promoting systems that can evolve collaboratively without being hindered by specific vendor technologies. This is especially relevant in governmental contexts where long-term system compatibility and functionality are crucial.
Idemia’s OSIA qualification for its biometrics service exemplifies the importance of interoperability in identity management, while CertiPath’s FIDO2 certification highlights the shift towards passwordless authentication. Moreover, Invixium’s certification under LenelS2 demonstrates the necessity of integrating biometric solutions into existing systems. Collectively, these developments emphasize the ongoing evolution in security standards and practices within the biometrics field.
