History

Aware was incorporated in 1986 in Cambridge, Massachusetts at which time it was envisioned by its founders as a "mathematical engineering company".

Aware went public in 1996 to commercialize its DSL products[5] and intellectual property,[6] at which time it also had an established business supplying biometrics software for law enforcement applications.[7] [8]

Between 2009 and 2012, Aware divested several assets unrelated to its current business.[9] [10] [11]

As of 2019, Aware is focused exclusively on providing biometrics software and services. Its products apply fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition, and speaker recognition for applications including multi-factor authentication and biometric identification.[12]
