AWARE INC

AWARE INC is a biometric identification company that validates and secures identities using biometrics. Aware's software helps government and commercial enterprises identify, authenticate, and secure individuals through user experiences. Aware's algorithms are based on diverse global data sets and can be tailored to customer security requirements. The company's portfolio allows government agencies and commercial entities to enroll, identify, authenticate, and enable using biometrics, which include physiological characteristics such as fingerprints, faces, irises, and voices. "Enroll" means registering biometric identities into an organization's secure database. "Identify" means using a secure database to accurately identify individuals with biometric data. "Authenticate" means providing multi-factor, passwordless access to secured accounts and databases with biometric verification. "Enable" means managing the lifecycle of secure identities through optimized biometric interchanges. Aware's biometric solutions include customer-managed and integration-ready biometric frameworks, platforms, software development kits (SDKs), and services. Government applications for these systems include border control, visa applicant screening, law enforcement, national defense, intelligence, secure credentialing, access control, and background checks. Commercial applications include mobile enrollment, user authentication, identity proofing, and secure transaction enablement. Aware's products support multiple biometric modalities, including fingerprint, face, iris, and voice, and offer interoperable, standards-compliant, field-proven biometric functionality. These products are used to capture, verify, format, compress, and decompress biometric images, as well as aggregate, analyze, process, match, and transport those images and templates within biometric systems. For large deployments, Aware may provide project management and software engineering services. The company sells its biometrics software products and services globally through systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), value-added resellers (VARs), partners, and directly to select end-user customers. Aware was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1986 and is headquartered at 76 Blanchard Road in Burlington, Massachusetts.
