U.S. Government Testing Affirms Top Performance of L-1 Identity Solutions Facial and Iris Recognition Technologies.

STAMFORD, Conn. -- L-1 Identity Solutions (NYSE: ID) announced that the Company's facial and iris recognition algorithms achieved tier one performance results in both the Facial Recognition Vendor Test 2006 (FRVT 2006) and the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE 2006) sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). With performance results near or at the top of every single test conducted, the NIST test results offer important third party validation of the top-tier performance and functionality of the algorithms that underpin L-1's facial and iris biometric solutions.

The FRVT 2006 and ICE 2006 evaluations test the state-of-the art underlying facial and iris recognition algorithms including matching accuracy performance for 2D still facial images, 3D facial scans and left and right iris images. Digital data sets were used to ensure that all participants were tested with identical data. Test images were sequestered prior to the test to guarantee that the participants would not tune their systems to the test data set.

"These test results re-affirm our clear technological leadership in facial and iris recognition made possible by our continuing focus on biometric-based R&D efforts in our Corporate Research Center," said Robert V. LaPenta, L-1 Identity Solutions Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Best-of-breed solutions begin with technology and people, but we extend our commitment beyond the technology itself with implementations that are customized to specific customer needs. In fact, L-1 solutions are widely deployed in large scale, mission critical implementations within government, law enforcement, military and commercial institutions around the world."

L-1 Iris and Facial Recognition Achieve Top Tier Results in Federal Testing

According to the Company's interpretation of the results:

* L-1 facial recognition technology was the best "all around" performer. The L-1 facial algorithm scored at or near the top in every test conducted by NIST. This includes matching accuracy for 2D as well as 3D face recognition. In addition, the L-1 high resolution facial matching performance was comparable to iris matching performance.

* L-1 iris recognition algorithms were two of the top three performers. The newest L-1 algorithm, developed by Professor John Daugman of Cambridge University and owned by exclusively by L-1, was validated as a top tier performer in accuracy. Dr. Daugman is L-1's Chief Scientist for Iris Recognition pursuant to a consulting agreement with the Company. The other L-1 algorithm was submitted by a third party under the name "Sagem-Iridian" and was based on a previous generation algorithm developed by Iridian Technology Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of L-1 acquired by L-1 in August 2006. It should be noted that other than the top three performers, no other iris algorithm was able to complete the test in the allotted cutoff time of 3 weeks.

* L-1's latest iris algorithm demonstrated unprecedented and unparalleled matching speed. The latest L-1 Daugman algorithm completed the test in 6 hours compared to almost 300 hours of its nearest competitor - almost 50 times faster - at comparable accuracy.

The specific facial recognition algorithm referred to in this announcement is from Viisage, an L-1 Identity Solutions company. Since the evaluation was conducted, L-1 Identity Solutions has continued advancing its facial and iris algorithms by combining the best elements of the algorithms produced by Viisage and Identix, another L-1 Identity Solutions Company that develops facial recognition technology.

The work to combine the two algorithms into the next generation - G8 - was undertaken by the L-1 Corporate Research Center, which has responsibility for further developing the company's core biometric algorithms. G8, expected to be released sometime in Q3 2007, results in a further significant boost in matching speed and accuracy. G8 also addresses an implementation issue in the handling of very large image file sizes that, while not typically encountered in real world implementations, were encountered in the FRVT 2006 and affected the performance of the previous Identix algorithm.

L-1 Identity Solutions packages its facial and iris technology in its ABIS[R] System, a multi-biometric identification platform that also incorporates fingerprint technology for traditional AFIS applications. Other iris products include mobile and handheld devices such as HIIDE Series 4, PIER[TM] and PIER-T[TM]. Software developer kits also are available for building large-scale identification solutions.

Note that results shown from the Facial Recognition Vendor Test 2006 and the Iris Challenge Evaluation 2006 do not constitute endorsement of any particular system by the Government.
