MorphoTop certified for UID
07 November 2011

MorphoTop, Morpho’s latest fingerprint image capture terminal, has been officially certified for India’s unique identification (UID) programme. The three-year Certificate of Approval was issued by the Standardization, Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate for the Government of India’s Department of Information Technology (DIT) and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). The terminal has passed all the required tests and trials, confirming that it offers highest-level image quality for capturing fingerprints in less than two seconds.
Morpho, which is part of Safran Group, says this positions it as a trusted end-to-end provider of world-class hardware and software solutions in the Aadhaar program. Aadhaar is the world’s largest biometric project designed to secure the identity of 1.2 billion residents of India.
Jean-Paul Jainsky, chairman and chief executive officer of Morpho says: “This certification is a significant milestone which strengthens our presence as the world’s leading biometrics solution and service provider. We are pleased to be pursuing our association with a project as ambitious and game-changing as Aadhaar. I am confident that this certification will help us offer the best technical solutions and contribute positively to this pioneering project.”
In addition to providing biometric acquisition and verification terminals, Morpho acts as an enrolment agency through its subsidiary Smart Chip and supplies the multi-biometric de-duplication system of UIDAI’s central database.
