Product Solutions: Daon products have the flexibility to be configured for a wide range of populations from mission-critical internationally scaled systems down to small pilots. Daon's products are very flexible and enable organizations to dynamically choose the levels of identity assurance necessary for their operations. Organizations deploying Daon solutions are able to seamlessly integrate biometric processes into their business operations in a manner that suits their security, privacy and identity assurance needs. Daon products are broadly categorized by Platform, Tools, and Applications.
Platform
DaonEngine is the core flagship platform that enables customers to manage biometric data and associated identity functions in a scalable, reliable and secure manner. With DaonEngine, organizations can leverage multi-modal biometric technologies and multi-factor authentication technologies to provide a broad range of services including verification, identification, watchlist management, investigation, identity issuance and more. This capability is delivered through a true service oriented architecture enabling rapid integration with complimentary COTS products and seamless integration into a customer's business environment.
Applications
DaonEnroll is a configurable workstation software application used to capture characteristics of a person to build their identity profile. DaonEnroll meets a critical need in programs where a person must be physically present to either establish their identity with identity documents and/or provide physical characteristics such as a biometric.
Daon Enrollment Manager is a configurable enterprise software product that constructs an enrollment business process around strong identity capture or enrollment applications. When the enrollment process requires multiple steps or roles, this application orchestrates the business process when user intervention is required, including assessment and credential issuance.
Unified ID a turn-key system that provides secure biometric enrollment, verification, and provisioning to logical and physical access systems. Built on the powerful DaonEngine platform, it pulls together many Daon products into a single deployable product.
Credential Connect provisions users from identity management systems to physical and logical access control systems enabling the use of new, single use, common credentials across an enterprise. Credential Connect forms the pipeline of cardholder data between a central Identity Management System and both the Physical Access Control System (PACS) and Logical Access Control System (LACS).
Credential Create is a software product that electronically encodes a smartcard credential with an identity and prints the surface of the credential according to the defined profiles. Different from a Smart Card Management System, it focuses exclusively on credential issuance thereby bringing numerous benefits in cost, reduced complexity and risk.
Tools
Daon Analytics provides an accurate scientific toolset for the measurement of biometric device and algorithm performance in pilot and operational projects. It enables organizations to understand the real-world performance of biometric components and tailor their deployments to optimize performance.
