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 NEC DIGITAL PLATFORM (NDP)
is a foundational solution designed to support federal agencies
as they navigate digital identification and information ecosystems.
NDP positions agencies to rapidly expand or enhance their existing
systems, and the capability to integrate future technologies
without undertaking a massive and costly system overhaul.
NEC is known for our industry-leading identity
verification capabilities: our face, iris, fingerprint, and
latent print algorithms have ranked No. 1 in major tests
conducted by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) for more than a decade.1
The NDP
streamlines the use of our secure biometrics and
identity and document verification capabilities, and
speeds the assembly of complex or challenging
processes or services.
Designed as an extensible framework, the NDP is
open to integration of a wide array of technologies
on demand. This framework provides customers an
accelerated time-to-market for their desired services

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.

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.

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

Flexible Infrastructure Services
In addition to providing support for traditional on-premises solutions, the NDP can be deployed in private or public
clouds hosted by NEC or deployed on public/government clouds, such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft® Azure.
We offer a combination of infrastructure options, providing flexibility for deployments of all sizes and scopes.
Conclusion
