Fingerprint Matching Software Evaluation for Proprietary Templates (PFTII)

The U.S Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland seeks to identify potential sources that currently can provide fingerprint matching software. Such software will be selected by the government to participate in the Proprietary Fingerprint Template evaluation II (PFTII), a government sponsored technology evaluation of algorithms used to match fingerprint images. This is a continuation of the original PFT evaluation which stopped on April 30, 2010. The PFTII evaluation will have larger data samples than PFT and additional information about timing and template capacity. Additional information and details on participation are available at http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/pftii.cfm. Questions about the evaluation can be sent to [email protected].
