Biometrics Products



Capturing, managing and moving biometric data for positive, rapid ID and tracking of persons of interest.


Biometrics are physical or behavioral characteristics unique to an individual, such as a finger or palm print, iris pattern or facial image. Because no two individual’s biometrics are alike, biometric-based identifications offer a better and more accurate means of ensuring that people are who they claim to be. By matching patterns of individuals against databases of records, our customers are better able to protect and secure citizens from crime and theft made possible by fraudulent identities.

L-1 Identity Solutions provides a full range of finger/palm, facial, iris, and multi-modal biometric technologies. L-1 also provides systems and solutions that empower the identification of individuals in large-scale identity management programs.

Our product offerings are standards-based to reduce your investment risk over time and include:
