EHONISSA includes FBI, RCMP and INTERPOL criminal databases (wanted and kidnapping/missing persons). Users can search in these criminal databases by name and multiple criteria and also using face search by downloading a picture or using the live search option by connecting a camera or a webcam. This option can be used to check the identity of new people you don't know (new business partner, new da
te, etc...). It can find only wanted and kidnapping/missing persons. The live option (using a webcam or camera) can be used to improve the security in public areas (buildings, banks, etc...) and in private homes. The program takes a picture every 1s of anybody passing in front of the camera and displays his/her information if this person is wanted. EHONISSA is also designed to be a search engine: to find people you know and you have lost contact with. All the users can register and use EHONISSA for free. Users also have the possibility to share their experiences about any institution (Company, College, University, Rental Company, etc…). So, if a user is willing to rent a new apartment or join a new company he/she can search at EHONISSA some information about the type of environment he/she will have to deal with. Other options are available to keep in touch with the found persons or other users: contacts and mailing lists.
