NEC's Digital Identity Platform for Federal Agencies
- 1. NEC’s Digital Platform For Federal Agencies NEC National Security Systems (NSS) provides digital identification solutions enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to, Homeland Security, Intelligence, Federal Judicial and Law Enforcement and Military agencies. We develop and deploy digital identification ecosystems for access control, identity verification, border control, and transportation security, among other applications. NEC NSS is here to support agencies that face tight budgets, waning personnel resources, obsolete technologies, and increasing performance demands. NSS tailors your solution, accelerates time to operational capability Now, more than ever, agencies look to technology as a cost-effective force-multiplier. As agency operations and responsibilities change and evolve, our solution architects, system engineers, and laboratory scientists constantly work to develop solutions for federal agencies’ now, next, and after-next operational requirements. At the onset of COVID-19, we rapidly responded to government agencies and public needs with contactless technologies that support hygienic interactions while maintaining safety and security. NEC NSS remains the government’s visionary technology partner: Today we provide a platform that aggregates, expands, and enhances systems capabilities into a multifunctional digital ecosystem designed to support current and future federal operations.

The NDP offers customers the most suitable—but not over-engineered— end solution or product. The NDP is based on microservices architecture and enables containerization of biometric and non-biometric system workloads. The platform inserts a microservice variant into a service-oriented architecture approach and uses well-defined interfaces to manage collections of loosely coupled, fine-grained applications and services that use lightweight protocols. This framework supports flexible deployment in a variety of environments, including on premise, and private and public clouds.
- 3. 3 Improve Your Customer Service United States Government agencies have the ongoing challenge of meeting their missions connected to secure public-facing informational and interactive websites, on-line teaming platforms, mission-related social media websites, and a myriad of other networks and applications. Operating within changing health guidelines to protect both their workforce and the people they serve, federal agencies must reevaluate their operations, procedures, and workforce applications to establish both short- and long-term strategies for meeting their missions. Federal agencies must continue to rely on technology to support and elevate the performance of their workforce, in order to provide improved internal and public-facing customer service. Technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI), such as computer vision and deep machine learning (dML), facilitate enhancements in other technologies. These include but are not limited to contactless detection—face and iris biometrics for recognition and elevated body temperature (EBT) sensing, video analytics, and optical fiber sensing. An overview of NEC NSS NDP solutions and serivces, tailored to a variety of federal mission categories, follow. Digital Identification and Intelligent Analytics The NDP’s Identity Management Services (IDMS) provide a single API to perform identity valida- tion using multimodal biometric, biographic, and contextual information for 1:1, 1:N, or 1:n search- es. IDMS aggregates events and identity information while enabling decision-making capabilities for users across a spectrum of federal operations and mission sets. For example, one use case in development for several military entities is the ability to capture a face image, verify an identity, and provide actionable intelligence within seconds, in the field. The NDP’s access management services provide multi-factor identity authentication services by fusing biometric and other data, that can include geo-fencing, mobile sensing, historical events, and transaction risk. Fusing data results in a highly accurate, trusted identity authentication solution tailored to address specific use cases reduces identity fraud and lowers overall risk of loss—or loss of life. NDP access management services integrate with popular access solution providers’ centralized controllers without introducing a new access control platform in order to manage users and access policies.
- 4. 4 Scene Processing and Video Analytics Using biometric matching, combined with AI, and edge sensors, the NDP supports scene processing, face recognition, and other digital identification/computer vision technologies to: Seamless Access Management NEC’s Touchpoint SDK, powered by NDP, has revolutionized air traveler identification and security processes. This technology underpins access solutions that provide fast, contactless identity verification in 2 seconds or less, end-to-end, and automates passage or admission in the following scenarios. • Traveler security checkpoint processes are streamlined and provide 99.1% identity verification2 —superior to human recognition capabilities • Travelers board flights or ships without repeated use of their boarding pass or ID card, reducing check-in and boarding times • Government and military installation personnel enjoy through-the-windshield identity validation when driving past security gates, reducing or eliminating congestion • Government employees and visitors gain seamless office building access with contactless validation and optional automated elevated body temperature (EBT) screening NEC’s Touchpoint SDK-based solutions use face images for identification and EBT—at a stand-off distance—to help individuals get to their destinations more quickly, while supporting safety and security and requiring fewer security personnel. • Detect faces, crowds1 , humans and other animals • Analyze anomalous behaviors and objects—such as left-behind baggage, packages, and vehicles • Support post-event analysis and processing • Enable operators to identify threats from massive amounts of video in seconds With the NDP, our scalable, extensible, and cloud-ready video analytics solutions can accept inputs from video cameras and other sensors, pass these streams through various algorithms, then produce alerts and reports that operators can view and/or export to incident and identity management systems. NDP is a flexible platform for agencies that manage: Border Security Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Homeland Security Immigration Intelligence Operations Infrastructure SecurityIntelligence Operations Law Enforcement Military Operations National Security Tribal Law Enforcement
