The IWS Biometric Engine, from ImageWare Systems, is available as part of a Web-based, biometric enrollment and identity verification application. It is also available as a software developer's kit (SDK) that enables system integrators to build custom identity verification applications or incorporate biometric enrollment, search and authentication functionality into existing applications. The IWS Biometric Engine conducts 1:1 biometric searches to verify an individual's identity; 1:n searches to identify an individual within a population; and x:n investigative searches against watch lists and/or black lists. The IWS Biometric Engine is based on IWS technology that has been used to manage millions of biometric templates and algorithms for virtually all leading biometric types including: Fingercivil, fingerlivescan, facecivil, faceNIST-compliant mug shots, iriscivil, hand geometry, palmNIST, signature, voice, and 3D Face
