The NEC Digital Platform (NDP) streamlines the use of our secure biometrics and identity and document verification capabilities and speeds up the assembly of complex or challenging processes or services. Designed as an extensible framework, the NDP aggregates, expands, and enhances systems capabilities into a multifunctional digital ecosystem designed to support current and future Federal operations.

NEC’s Digital Platform for Federal Agencies (preview)
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 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: it provides the capability to integrate future technologies
without undertaking massive and costly system overhauls.
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

due to the flexibility of NEC’s orchestration, core
technology, and infrastructure services. 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.

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.
