The CSIR Information and Cybersecurity Research Centre developed, piloted and commercialised the innovative VeristicPrint Biometric System. This marks the first such achievement for the centre since its inception. The system is a contactless fingerprint recognition software solution that enables any digital device, such as a smartphone or webcam, to function as a fingerprint scanner.
The system is made up of three modules:

• Contactless Acquisition module;
• Feature Extraction module; and
• Hash Matching module.
