About the Company
Aware is a leading global provider of biometrics software products, services, and solutions. Our modular software products include SDKs and subsystems that enable fingerprint, face, and iris recognition and mobile authentication solutions: SDKs, controls and applets; user interface applications for biometric enrollment and forensic analysis; SDKs for fingerprint, face, and iris recognition and authentication; a name matching and identity resolution SDK; a biometric services platform; and an automated biometric identification system (ABIS). These products fulfill critical biometric functionality for applications including border management, law enforcement, defense, intelligence, citizen ID, banking, and payments. Aware is a publicly held company (NASDAQ: AWRE) based in Bedford, Massachusetts. Aware has provided COTS biometrics software products since 1993, when it helped the FBI to design and optimize the “WSQ” fingerprint image compression algorithm for the first large-scale fingerprint digitization effort. Shortly thereafter, Aware was the first to commercialize WSQ as a COTS SDK product. Over the following twenty-plus years, Aware has consistently employed a “true COTS” product model, introducing a diverse array of OEM software products used to quickly and easily integrate advanced biometric functionality into systems for a variety of applications. As our product portfolio has broadened, so has our ability to assemble our COTS products into complete end-to-end software solutions, configured for the particular requirements of the customer. Aware software has been used in hundreds of deployments and is in daily operation on many thousands of workstations, servers, and mobile devices globally.
