MOSIP support for Biometric search

Dear Team,

I would like to understand if the MOSIP platform has a feature to search for biometric data, such as fingerprints, iris, or facial images, within the existing database. Specifically, in scenarios like law enforcement identifying a fingerprint from an unknown person (e.g., a criminal suspect) and wanting to match it against our records to retrieve relevant information.

Could you please provide insights on whether this functionality is available or need a better understanding of how we can request ABIS for such info (Not sure if that’s the right place)?

Dear @ali_shaik ,

Thank you reaching out, we will look into your query and one of our SMEs will get back to you with a response.

Best Regards
Team MOSIP

Dear @ali_shaik ,

Yes it is ABIS sytem for this, however, this if you can do or not will depend on country and how they want to implement finding a person’s details. This will all depend on the law of the land and if it provisions the same.

Will welcome more of your queries on this.

Best Regards
Team MOSIP

Thanks for the update @keshavs. In case a country wants to implement search functionality based on biometric details, is there an existing provision for this in the MOSIP framework, or is there a way to implement it?

Hi @ali_shaik ,

Seek your pardon on this as we do not have framework for it as of now with respect to security reasons.

Best Regards
Team MOSIP
