Hamburg – November 04, 2026 -- DERMALOG Identification Systems has completed qualification testing under the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Fast Capture (FastCAP) program, placing the Hamburg-based biometrics provider on NIST's list of companies whose contactless fingerprint technology meets NIST Special Publication 500-339.
FastCAP tests ten-finger capture without a contact scanner
The FastCAP initiative checks whether contactless systems can capture all ten fingerprints quickly and reliably, without a conventional touch-based scanner. DERMALOG says its qualification shows the solution delivers high-quality biometric data for secure identification under standardized test conditions.
DERMALOG targets mobile checks, digital registration and civil registries
The company names mobile identity verification, digital registration processes and civil registry services as use cases. It says the technology suits mobile applications and high-volume processes where fast, hygienic and efficient collection of biometric data matters.
DERMALOG CEO Günther Mull said contactless capture can make biometric processes more efficient and user-friendly. He described the NIST qualification as a step toward wider global adoption of contactless biometrics.
