ONYX shared first place overall with the French company Idemic.

“The mFIT Challenge is focused on improving the technologies law enforcement needs to effectively and efficiently accomplish their mission and identify individuals in the field,” said Chace Hatcher, VP of Technology and Innovation at Telos and co-inventor of ONYX. “ONYX is the world’s first and most accurate contactless fingerprint biometric software for mobile, and I’m proud to see it earn this recognition and validation from NIST.”

ONYX is a mobile, contactless biometrics solution that leverages a device’s camera to capture the user’s unique fingerprint, enabling quick and easy collection of fingerprint biometrics. Telos added ONYX technology to IDTrust360 when it acquired the assets of Diamond Fortress Technologies in August 2021.

“When we acquired the assets of Diamond Fortress Technologies last year, it was largely based on the promise of ONYX,” said Marc Griffin, Executive Vice President of Security Solutions, Telos. “The results of the mFIT Challenge are just the beginning of realizing that promise. This patented contactless fingerprint technology will eliminate much of the friction in collecting biometric data for identity and access management and better serve our growing customer base.

Through the mFIT Challenge, NIST sought innovative new or enhanced mobile applications that access sensors available on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) mobile devices to capture high-quality digital fingerprint images. Entrants were asked to submit a mobile app that captures quality digital images of left and right hands. The ultimate goal of this challenge was to advance technology while preserving the form factor of the mobile device.

In addition to first place in the all-around, Telos is also tied with Idemic for the mFIT Challenge First Responder’s Choice Award.
