id3 Technologies is a security and identity solutions provider that uses its own biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition. id3 is particularly renowned for its Match-on-Card (MoC) technology, which integrates biometric algorithms with smart card functionality to secure ID cards. id3 Technologies specialises in developing high-performance artificial intelligence algorithms for biometric and computer vision applications. Its core business involves integrating these algorithms into environments with limited resources, such as microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs), without compromising performance. These AI models are designed to operate efficiently, enabling real-time decision-making directly on edge devices.

Through close collaboration with STMicroelectronics, id3 Technologies has developed a range of evaluation kits specifically designed to accelerate the prototyping and integration of its technologies on STM32 platforms. These kits, such as the MicroFace product line, offer developers a complete hardware and software solution. They effectively demonstrate how id3's lightweight AI models are optimized to leverage ST's advanced hardware capabilities.

id3 Technologies has recently implemented ST's Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors to develop robust liveness detection technology against presentation attacks. Furthermore, on compatible platforms like the STM32N6, id3's software leverages the Neural-ART accelerator (NPU) to dramatically boost model inference speeds, enabling more powerful and responsive edge AI applications.
