2019: Automation of biometric identity identification

Mobile Inform Group together with the center of competencies in biometrics JSC Azimut developed a mobile software and hardware complex for biometric identification of a person by fingerprint.

Special tasks of public services and regime institutions require mobile identification in order to quickly establish and/or confirm identity by fingerprint. For example, to ensure checkpoints at various closed facilities and territories.

For these purposes, Mobile Inform Group and Azimut JSC, on the basis of which a biometrics competence center has been created and has been successfully operating since 2019, accumulating domestic market leaders in this area, proposed a solution using two-factor fingerprint identity identification. The companies developed a mobile software and hardware complex based on the industrial tablet MIG T8X, running the Astra Linux operating system, the Smolensk release, and Sonda software from the developer of Sonda Pro LLC.

Mobile Inform Group has developed a full-size functional module - a scanner for recognizing two fingerprints at the same time. The module is integrated into the MIG T8X tablet chassis, with a minimum frame rate of > 10 frames per second. Thanks to a light-emitting sensor (LES), the scanner automatically reads and recognizes data even in difficult conditions (direct sunlight), as well as recognizes real and artificial fingerprints, which prevents information substitution and fraud.

Thus, MIG T8X with Sonda software can be used in companies and services where prompt fingerprint identification is required, including mobile identification "in the fields."

The decision was successfully implemented as a pilot project at one of the facilities of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in Moscow.
