Our Story
Proven Biometric Expertise, Decades in the Making
For over 30 years, Aware has been at the forefront of biometric innovation. We began in 1993 by helping the FBI design and optimize the WSQ fingerprint compression algorithm, setting the global standard for digital fingerprinting. We then became the first company to commercialize WSQ as a COTS SDK, making biometric technology accessible for enterprise and government use worldwide.
Since then, we’ve evolved from a pioneer in fingerprint software to a leader in cloud-based, multi-modal biometric intelligence. Today, Aware technology is trusted by hundreds of commercial organizations and 80 government agencies worldwide to verify identity, detect fraud, and deliver secure, frictionless experiences.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to transform biometric insights into wisdom—helping the world’s most trusted organizations make the right decisions with confidence, speed, and intelligence.
