TTI adds Mobile ID Software to ST4 Series of Handheld Mobile ID Devices

NEWPORT BEACH, CA., October 10, 2007- Trijay Technologies International Corporation (TTI) , a leader in providing mobile id verification solutions , today announced that its ST4 Series of Handheld Mobile ID Devices are now available with mobile identity verification and/or emergency mustering applications from UK-based Smart Media Innovations (SMI). By offering the SMI mobile ID software bundle, TTI extends the usage of the St4 series mobile devices and provides a cost effective manner for carrying out identity verification and emergency mustering while dramatically lowering implementation costs by eliminating the need for custom software development.

Opposed to simply doing a visual verification of an individual, a wireless solution can be used to read data from a credential, regardless of the types of cards or communication involved Real-time data can be compared to stored data to allow on-site security or management decisions to be made. Data can also be stored in the unit for later transfer to a primary database in a PC.

SMI’s mobile identity verification application enables data on smart cards, HID iCLASS cards, bar codes or other credentials decoded by the ST4 Handheld devices to be compared against an organization’s access control system or other core database to confirm the identity of the cardholder.

“The recent hardware and software demonstration in the HID CONNECT Booth at ASIS 2007 was well received and proved to both companies the need mobile identity and verification has arrived. The partnership will equip enterprises, government agencies and other organizations with the tools they need to perform biometric identity verification and authentication anywhere on their premises.

TTI announces the release of a new version of BioTime

Newport Beach, CA. , April 4, 2007 TTI announces the release of a new version of BioTime from Biolink, an advanced biometric time monitoring and access control system. BioTime v. 4.0 is mostly advantageous for more intuitive schedules and reports, centralized management of access control biometric terminals and availability of BioTime Standard (for small and middle enterprises) and BioTime Enterprise (for large enterprises) editions.
In addition to the available shifted, fixed and no-fixed schedules, BioTime now comprises a calendar schedule. Such an option is especially handy for companies with continuous production cycles, where a business day can start at 10 pm and end at 6 am next morning.
Two more reports are added to the system. They allow displaying the required personnel-related information in the most convenient and easy-to-see way. A work time-board displays the arrival and departure time of every employee as well as the total hours worked by an employee; undertimes are highlighted in red and overtimes are highlighted in green. A late comings log allows displaying the day on which an employee came to office late, the time during which a given employee was late, total truancies for a specified period and their aggregate duration.
An important option is added to the access control module of BioTime. It allows defining access rights of employee accessing various areas and premises to the exact minute. For example, an access schedule allows ordinary employees enter the corporate canteen only during lunch hours, while catering personnel and security people can access it at any time.
Large firms with a distributed company structure will surely praise new centralized management features. From now on, configurations of checkpoints can be managed from a single command centre for various employees to access areas protected by BioLink FingerPass terminals or card readers by applying a previously enrolled finger.
Operation modes of BioLink FingerPass terminals can also be easily switched. The terminal can operate in autonomous (biometric records are stored in the device memory), network (the data is stored on the BioTime server) and combined (combination of autonomous and network modes) modes. As a standard, it is recommended to use a combined mode: in this case if the connection with BioTime server fails (due to temporary LAN failures), the terminal continues operating, and upon reconnection, it will pass over the accumulated information on the arrival and departure events stored in the internal memory to the server.
The head of the time monitoring and access control division of BioLink says: “BioTime is characterized by a wide range of advanced time monitoring and access control features, has an intuitive interface, and provided support for multiple identifiers (fingerprints, smart cards, tokens). As for accuracy and reliability of the system provided by using unique biometric parameters, we can surely say that BioTime is an obvious choice for any company striving to effectively manage personnel and control access to its offices”.

IRIS Eyes Smart Card Projects In US

KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 (Bernama) -- Electronic identification card and passport producer, IRIS Corporation Bhd, is eyeing key smart-card projects in the United States.To facilitate its foray into U.S., IRIS is setting up a manufacturing plant at the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM)'s facility in Vermont, U.S.This follows a MoU signed between IRIS and IBM on March 28 this year.Apart from the plant, the company has also agreed to pursue strategic collaboration in developing business opportunities in trusted identity sector on a worldwide basis. This would involve the production of electronic passport inlays, chip cards and associated peripherals.IRIS managing director Datuk Tan Say Jim told Bernama in an interview recently that IRIS had allocated some US$8 million for the facility scheduled to commence operations by end of the year.He said the American facility would initially produce smart-card handheld readers for its existing clients.It latest contract came in March, when Smart Packaging Solution SAS of France offered a contract worth RM36.8 million to supply high security identification chip modules for the production of a new generation smartcards.A month before that, IRIS secured RM30.76 million contract from US-based Trijay Technologies International Corporation to supply secured mobile authentication and verification mobile terminals."We hope by having the plant there, we might be able to win some smart card related projects in the U.S.," he said.Tan said IRIS was leasing the building from IBM and would outsource the management of the manufacturing plant to IBM's personnel."We are now spending time with IBM's marketing people and hope IBM, as our partner, will be able to bring business opportunities to our facility," he said.Asked on the prospects in the trusted identity sector of the U.S., Tan said: "Huge and very interesting."IRIS is able to see the potential of this sector where most companies have failed to notice, Tan said.After the disaster of September 11, concerns have gone up on terrorism and so has the need to have the identity of the people coming into the country, he said."Now, people think that traditional paper based identity document should be metaled and better secured," he said.Tan said the authorities were looking at the use of smart card medium as the answer to better protection in national documents.IRIS which recorded a lower pre-tax profit of RM6.383 million for the year ended Dec 31, 2006 from RM7.235 million previously, has also put in e-passport tenders in several countries to bring steady revenue to the company.For 2006, its revenue fell to RM234.503 million from RM299.782 million previously.The MSC status company, under its Digital Identity Solution Division, plans to target as many countries as possible to secure e-passport tenders.Taiwan, Egypt, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and a few African countries will be issuing tenders very soon, Tan said."We hope we will be invited to participate in closed tenders as well," Tan said.So far, IRIS has secured contracts from Cambodia, Turkey, Thailand, Nigeria, Bahamas, Somalia and Maldives.

BioLink, ADC Partner in Vietnam Biometrics Market

BioLink has announced a partnership with ADC, a leading Vietnamese supplier of security solutions, according to a report published in PRLEAP.com. The alliance is focused toward implementing biometric technologies with state authorities and commercial structures. Through participation in governmental programs of development, the partnership will look to deploy brand new identification documents with embedded biometrics (passports, visas, e-documents, etc.) so as to meet modern internationally accepted standards.

BioLink’s product line of fingerprint optical scanners BioLink U-Match (USB and Ethernet interfaces, office and mountable versions, including mobile identification terminals) generated a lot of interest among visitors. An automated multi-biometric information system BioLink AMIS intended for large scale projects for development and issuance of biometric identifying documents, reliable provision of social services, banking, financial and other institutions has also generated a lot of interest.

Piotr Pertsov, BioLink’s director of business development, was quoted as saying in the report, “The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most dynamically evolving and promising biometric markets for establishing partner relations. We are very much motivated to penetrate into a biometric identification market of Vietnam, a country with one of the most quickly developing economies of the Asia-Pacific region”.

Right Counter Height Can Improve Fingerprint Capture

Science Daily — Once a tool primarily used by law enforcement, biometric technologies such as fingerprint readers increasingly are being used by governments and private industry for a personal ID that can't easily be forged or stolen. But, despite their increased use, little attention has been paid to the human-system interaction that these technologies require.
With fingerprint scanners and other imaging devices, for example, user behavior can affect both the quality of the image and the time required to capture it. At present. there are no guidelines for using biometric hardware and software that could lead to improved usability and interaction techniques.
As part of its role under the USA PATRIOT Act, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted a study examining the effect of the work surface height of a fingerprint sensor on the quality and the time required to collect prints. NIST researchers collected five types of fingerprint images from 75 NIST employees, ranging in age from 17 to 67. Images were collected from a "left slap"; (all fingers on the left hand except for the thumb); a "right slap"; a left or right thumb; and both thumbs. Work surface heights varied from 26 inches (660 millimeters) to 42 inches (1,067 millimeters). The fingerprint scanner used in the study had a height of 6 inches (152 millimeters)--the expected height of the next generation of fingerprint scanners to be used in many federal government applications.
The researchers found that participants performed fastest using a work surface height of 36 inches (914 millimeters); and a height of 26 inches (660 millimeters) produced the highest image quality. Participants preferred a work surface height of 32 or 36 inch (813 or 914 millimeters); the 42 inch height was most uncomfortable. Seventy-six percent of the participants preferred starting with their right hands, which also made the process faster. Quality dropped dramatically when thumbprints were taken simultaneously rather than one at a time.
The study was sponsored by the Science and Technology Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security. Results are available in the report, Effects of Scanner Height on Fingerprint Capture (NISTIR 7382), at http://zing.ncsl.nist.gov/biousa/docs/NISTIR-7382-Height%20Study.pdf
