Suprema, a provider of biometrics and ID solutions, announced today that the company has secured national ID issuance project in Jordan. The project, steered by Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MoICT) through OFFTEC, is aimed to develop ID verification system during national ID issuance by performing fingerprint verification of recipient. Suprema has completed the delivery of BioMini Slim readers that will be deployed across the country. The deployment of scanners will ensure protection of personal information by preventing false issuance of identification.

It is designed to provide a high level security solution for identity access management solutions for authentication. With IP65 grade dust and waterproof form factor, BioMini Slim features sleek ergonomic design with the latest 500dpi slim optical sensor. The live finger detection technology analyzes images patterns according to optical characteristics and distinguishes fake fingers made from materials such as rubber, silicon, and glue.
