Antheus Technology Receives FBI Appendix F Certification for the Agora ID Solution

Antheus Technology Inc., a global leading provider of biometric software solutions, announced today that the Agora IDTM solution, incorporating livescan devices from CrossMatch Technologies and Green Bit, received certifications from the FBI for the agency’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) Image Quality Specification (IQS) Appendix F standards. The company revealed plans to achieve the same certifications incorporating Suprema livescan devices.

Boca Raton, FL, August 14, 2010 — Agora ID is a configurable software solution suitable for a range of projects sizes, from small standalone biometric visitor control systems to large-scale biometric identification programs deployed in many servers and hundreds of workstations. Based on the ANSI/NIST ITL-1 2007 standard for personal identification and using principles of flexible manufacturing systems the Agora ID solution treats each ANSI/NIST type of transaction (TOT) as if it were a product on a pallet in route to completion. Through web services and reusable software code, a fully functional Agora ID solution guarantees the project goals: to process a number of enrollments per day against a growing AFIS database, to issue new ID’s only once to each person, to detect criminals at enrollment, to verify a person’s identity at a secure transaction, and more.

Agora ID is interoperable because it is based on standards and it uses widely available information systems technology. It lowers the total cost of ownership and protects the end user investment. With extensive documentation it is easy to use and deploy, eliminating the need for customization. It is fully scalable because the Agora MatchServers can compare any number of identities per day against any number of identities in the database. And most of all Agora ID is flexible because it can be configured to fit the customer needs.
