Paravision partners on combined face and fingerprint biometric authentication solutions

Paravision has formed a partnership to provide its face biometrics along with fingerprint recognition in dual authentication solutions from Next Biometrics.

Under the multi-year agreement, Paravision will support dual authentication offerings to a customer base which already includes devices with both fingerprint and facial authentication. The combined solutions are expected to be offered to customers in several industries.

Paravision recently announced a top ranking among U.S. face biometrics providers in a NIST test of 1:1 accuracy, and the company says it delivers accuracy above 99.9 percent in many use cases.

“We are proud to partner with NEXT Biometrics to power trusted, industry-leading face recognition and dual authentication solutions,” says Paravision CEO Doug Aley. “Face and fingerprint are highly complementary, and we’re excited to see NEXT deliver the value of both modalities to their customer base.”

The company also brought high-profile biometrics expert Benji Hutchinson aboard as president and COO in July.
