Join us in Washington, D.C. for the annual connect:ID conference from May 1 – 3 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Exhibiting as CloudABIS, the M2SYS team will be on hand to offer a demonstration of our cloud-based biometric matching system designed to remove the friction from developing and deploying a reliable, scalable biometric identity management solution.

Exhibit attendees can stop by Booth #309 at connect:ID and learn more about our cloud based framework, matching system, and biometric device integration which are designed to allow end users the opportunity to quickly develop and deploy a biometric identity management solution to fit their own, unique needs. On display at the conference will be:

• CloudApper™ – Revolutionary, dynamic cloud application framework
• CloudABIS™ – A scalable, cloud-based, biometric-as-a-service (BaaS) matching system
• CloudScnr™ – Windows and Web application biometric device integration with web service
  cloud biometric as a service

Our next-generation cloud software solutions allow you to buy ANY biometric device, build a business layer app with CloudApper, connect to a fast, accurate BaaS matching system with CloudABIS, and use CloudScnr for fast and easy biometric hardware device integration. Our goal is to eliminate the complexities of licensing and integration and simplify the process of building a custom biometric identification application designed to address whatever unique needs and challenges you may have.

Stop by Booth #309 at next week’s connect:ID conference and see our cloud-based biometric identification management solutions, learn about our featured partners and customers, or just pop in to say hello and drop a business card off for a chance to win a free Amazon Echo and at the end of the show (winner will be announced post conference here on the blog).

We hope to see you next week at connect:ID! What are you looking forward to seeing the most at connect:ID? Drop a comment below and let us know!

How Law Enforcement Agencies are Using Biometrics

Biometric identification management technology is so efficient for security purposes that law enforcement agencies around the world are embracing it with open arms. They strategically use either a physiological modality, a behavioral modality or a combination of both — the most common modalities in use are fingerprints, iris and facial recognition, gait, and voice recognition. The rapid implementation of biometrics has sparked a revolution within the global law enforcement and security industry.

Iris recognition is a biometric modality which captures a photo of the eye pattern, converts the photo to a binary template and then saves the data to a server for future matching. Iris cameras are used to recognize an individual’s unique identity by analyzing the random, unique patterns which visibly appear inside their eye from a certain distance. It utilizes multiple technologies including optics, statistical conclusions, pattern recognition, and computer vision.

Iris recognition biometrics is widely considered to be the most accurate biometric modality among those currently available in the market. A recent Twitter poll we conducted asked what the public feels is the most reliable biometric modality and results indicated that most people trust the reliability and accuracy of iris recognition technology over any other biometric alternative.
