• The Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation (FpVTE) 2003
  is an independently administered technology evaluation of fingerprint
  matching, identification, and verification systems. FpVTE 2003
  is being conducted by the National Institute of Standards & Technology
  (NIST) on behalf of the Justice Management Division (JMD) of
  the U.S. Department of Justice.
  
• FpVTE was designed to assess the capability of fingerprint
  systems to meet requirements for both large-scale and small-scale
  real world applications. FpVTE 2003 consists of multiple tests
  performed with combinations of fingers (e.g., single fingers,
  two index fingers, four to ten fingers) and different types and
  qualities of operational fingerprints (e.g., flat livescan images
  from visa applicants, multi-finger slap livescan images from
  present-day booking or background check systems, or rolled and
  flat inked fingerprints from legacy criminal databases).
  
• FpVTE 2003 will serve as part of NIST's statutory mandate
  under section 403c of the USA PATRIOT Act to certify those biometric
  technologies that may be used in U.S. VISIT (U.S. Visitor and
  Immigrant Status Indication Technology, formerly known as the
  US entry-exit system). In addition, FpVTE results may form the
  basis for the design and acquisition of other large-scale fingerprint
  identification systems.
  
• FpVTE 2003 evaluations were conducted at the NIST facilities
  at Gaithersburg, MD, from October 2003 through November 2003.
  
• Small, Medium, and Large-Scale Tests (SST, MST and LST) were
  conducted using systems provided by 18 Participants:
  

  • 123 ID, Inc. (MST, LST)
    
  • Antheus Technology, Inc. (MST, LST)
