Intellicheck Mobilisa has been awarded a US Patent that governs the two-factor fingerprint biometric identity process that authenticates an identity card with embedded fingerprint biometric information and the live biometric information of a person presenting the card."This patent allows us to make important strides in the fast growing US$25 billion fingerprint biometric marketplace," says Dr William Roof, CEO, Intellicheck. "Aside from its clear applicability for use with a number of Federal Government identity credentials, this patented technology has the potential to be incorporated into our existing product line including Defense ID and Law ID. Growth of fingerprint biometrics is being fueled by government and commercial market security needs as well as being driven by the ever- increasing dynamics of domestic and international threats. Fingerprint biometric identity authentication has widespread applications that run the gamut from defence, homeland security and police use to electronic banking and payments and a variety of commercial product and retail usages. The ability of this technology to identify people successfully in an infinite, repeatable, precise manner helps solve critical identification challenges across these markets."According to the company, the patent covers the process at the heart of the leading biometric fingerprint technology that assures compliance with The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS-201). The Federal Information Processing Standard 201 is the underlying standard for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC), the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credential, the Common Access Card (CAC) and other US Government identification methods. This standard is often reflected in the products used in the private sector as well.It says: "Compliance with this standard requires the ability to verify that the person presenting the identity card is the card's owner. Fingerprint biometrics accomplishes this by matching the rightful card owner's fingerprints, encrypted and stored on the card's smart chip, with the actual fingerprints of the person presenting the card. Once the presenter is verified as the owner of the card, a query is sent to a data source ensuring that the card is not suspended, stolen, lost, or otherwise inactive and may indicate whether the presenter has the required permissions to enter a specific facility."
