A Service-Oriented Biometric Application Server

Aware's Biometric Services Platform (BioSP) is a modular, configurable, service-oriented application server platform used to integrate advanced biometric data processing and management functionality into an enterprise solution. BioSP is well suited for applications that require the collection of biometrics throughout a distributed network, and subsequent aggregation, analysis, processing, distribution, authentication, and sharing of this data with other system components. BioSP manages all aspects of transaction workflow, including messaging, submissions, responses, and logging. BioSP incorporates the latest open-source components and is J2EE-compliant.

BioSP is differentiated not only by its high degree of modularity and configurability, but also by its advanced on-board biometric capabilities. BioSP performs biometric authentication and duplicate checking, centralized image processing, data formatting and transcoding, and biometric image quality assurance and reporting.

BioSP also provides connectivity to endpoints used for biometric image and data capture, such as for enrollment, verification, and identification. BioSP establishes connectivity to back-end systems including internal and external AFIS/ABIS, as well as systems for identity management, card management, and credential personalization. BioSP
can also manage configuration and distribution of
client-based enrollment software.
