AllTrust Biometric Technology
AllTrust uses the Morpho fingerprint sensor, which provides the best fingerprint scanning technology available.
Our partner, MorphoTrak, is an internationally recognized expert in biometric identification systems. MorphoTrak provides over 60 percent of the world’s identity management systems and 50 percent of the USA’s state and local Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS); including the FBI.
Key Differentiators of the Morpho sensor
(and the reasoning why AllTrust uses it for the biometric component of its Paycheck Secure check cashing system…)
• Proven technology – MorphoTrak manages 2.5 billion fingerprints worldwide (and over 6 million in the AllTrust database alone), meaning their algorithms have been tested and refined over several trillion fingerprint searches.
• Extremely low error rates
o Failure to enroll – A critical component for biometric implementation – to ensure that a person enrolls with good / clean fingerprint images for the first time enrollment; so that they are easily identified in the future. MorphoTrak sensors have an enrollment failure rate of 1/10th of 1 percent. The average sensor competitor ranks in at 1-3% failure rate.
o False matching – in testing performed with the Morpho scanner, error rates are a fraction of the competition – showing 12 in 10,000 false positives in one-to-many matching (meaning they tested 10,000 people and only 12 people were incorrectly identified).
• High-quality standards - MorphoTrak algorithms meet and exceed industry standards for image-quality specified by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Biometrics Task Force (BTF) and the FBI.
• SPEED. The MorphoTrak biometric sensor technology is certified at the highest level: FIPS 201, PIV-IQS, MINEX and FBI.
o Fingerprint verification < 0.8 sec.
o Fingerprint identification time < 1sec.
• Large Sensor Pad – The optical sensor provides a larger sensing area. This means the sensor can capture more data, so even if user places their finger differently each time, they’ll still receive a positive match. Smaller (capacitive) scanners cannot capture all the fingerprint identifiers, thus requiring users to place their finger in exactly the same position each time they use the reader.
