    ROC

    Bengaluru: ROC, a U.S.-based leader in biometric technologies, has officially achieved MOSIP compliance for its flagship multimodal platforms – ABIS and SDK.

    This milestone positions the company as a trusted global provider of next-generation identity systems, enabling governments to deploy robust, agile, and cost-effective digital ID platforms aligned with open standards.

    MOSIP (Modular Open-Source Identity Platform) is a widely adopted, vendor-neutral identity framework that allows nations to build scalable and inclusive digital ID systems.

    With the company now part of the MOSIP-compliant ecosystem, governments – especially in emerging economies – gain access to cutting-edge biometric capabilities that ensure affordability, performance, and long-term sustainability.

    “We are playing an important role in expanding biometric solutions for developing nations by joining MOSIP,” said Blake Moore, COO of ROC. “Our passion lies in creating next-gen identity systems that are agile, secure, and inclusive.”

    ROC ABIS is engineered for high performance, modularity, and mission scalability

    It features:

    • Face Recognition: #1 globally in combined speed and accuracy (NIST)
    • Fingerprint Matching: Top-ranked for real-time identification
    • Iris Recognition: Globally leading in efficiency and scalability
    • Latent Print Matching: Industry’s fastest on-device matcher
    • Tattoo Recognition: 100x faster than standard industry tools

    Certified to global standards like FISWG, ANSI, OSAC, and now MOSIP, ROC ABIS is interoperable and future-proof, supporting governments in deploying reliable national ID systems.

    Sanjith Sundaram, Head of the Partner Ecosystem at MOSIP, commented, “MOSIP compliance reflects our shared mission of empowering governments with secure, adaptable digital identity frameworks.”

    “MOSIP is revolutionizing digital identity – and our company is contributing to that revolution,” added B Scott Swann, CEO of ROC. “Our compliance ensures that developing nations can access powerful, scalable, and secure ID infrastructure.”

    The company’s collaboration with MOSIP directly supports digital identity rollouts in over 26 countries, with ongoing national implementations in 11, including the Philippines and Morocco.

    By combining lightweight algorithmic performance with MOSIP’s open-source platform, ROC reduces system complexity, hardware requirements, and long-term costs.
