The Challenge
The aim of CEID is to provide Egyptian Ministry of Interior with an effective, accurate, prompt and secured service to it’s fingerprint identification needs.
• Huge number of daily transactions for different fingerprint identification types.
It is estimated that there are 10,000 daily transactions for Criminal Status Reports CSR alone.
• Number of ten-fingerprint card plus latent prints from various unsolved cases exceeds 300,000 |

Solution
1994: TEA Computers in association with the Korean Union Systems Inc. “now Hyundai Information Technology” awarded a 20 Million LE project for supplying CEID with the most advanced AFIS system using a unique algorithm to enable fast and accurate large volume matching for Tenprint and Latent prints.; short listed competitions were the Japanese NEC, and the French company SAGEM. |
Solution Provided
• Database application development to run on five advanced AViiON servers with CLARiiON RAID, DG/UX and Oracle RDBMS. These five systems are geographically distributed to cover Egypt’s governorates.
• Establishment of the CEID AFIS information database for over 300,000 registered individuals with complete personal and criminal details stored on 20 GB of on line CLARiiON RAID disk storage.
• Establishment of the CEID AFIS fingerprints images database for over 300,000 Tenprint cards (3 millions fingerprint) and around 10,000 Latent print stored on mirrored 760GB of on line Magneto-optical two Juke Boxes.
• Ability to extract fingerprint signatures (Minutiae) for over 3 millions fingerprint and latent.
• Integratation of Four remote Governorates and Five Police stations in a three level communication network.
• Customization and tuning of the system to ensure smooth matching for about 10,000 daily transaction performed by two dual module Matchers powered by over 2000 parallel processors, 4 GB of RAM and 25 GB of local, mirrored on line disk storage.
• As an ongoing project
2002: CEID sign a contract for enhancing the response and capacity of the AFIS Imaging module, this included in addition to the application programs, the addition of a 730Gb CLARiiON Disk array.
2003: CEID upgrades its AFIS data entry unit, by adding a new risk based server. |
