Intellicheck Mobilisa was awarded a contract for expanded deployment of Defense ID Intellicheck Mobilisa, a provider of threat identification and identity authentication, verification and validation technology solutions, announced it has been awarded a federal contract to expand the deployment of Defense ID® at a highly classified federal government facility in the Washington, D.C. area. The $250,000 purchase will increase the ability of security personnel to protect the highly sensitive federal installation with Intellicheck's real-time identification authentication solution. Defense ID Dr. William Roof, Intellicheck CEO, noted, "The world is a very different place than it was only a few short years ago as threats of violence to our citizens at home and abroad continue to escalate in frequency, complexity and effectiveness. Defense ID was designed to address a security environment that is fluid and constantly evolving. Our expertise in addressing security challenges is reflected in the advanced features and functionality that make our application mobile, interoperable with multiple standard and proprietary information sources and responsive with programmable rules. We are confident that Defense ID will provide an unprecedented level of situational awareness and security driven by real-time ID document authentication and threat identification." Increasing Situational Awareness Security personnel use Defense ID to increase situational awareness and security at restricted facilities by instantly authenticating the identification of visitors, vendors, and employees seeking site access and by enabling rules-based access decision support, while improving operational efficiencies. Deployment of the field-tested and proven advanced technology solution provides security personnel with the ability to maintain uninterrupted line of sight of an individual seeking site access as mobile devices scan the bar code of driver licenses from all U.S. states and Canadian Provinces, as well as military and other identification documents issued by government agencies. Defense ID alerts security officers of a potential threat by comparing a would-be visitor's identification card information with information available from public and government data sources and other pertinent information contained in Intellicheck's extensive proprietary databases. Real-time information delivery instantly notifies security personnel if the individual has presented identification that is fake or stolen, is on a terrorist watch list, Be-On-the-Look-Out (BOLO) lists, may be the subject of law enforcement wants and warrants, or is listed for military base debarments and driving suspensions. "The Defense ID will provide an unprecedented level of situational awareness and security driven by real-time ID document authentication and threat identification." In addition to its other computer-based applications, Defense ID's advanced rules-based engine can be set to allow visitation only at certain pre-designated days and times to specific parts of a site. Durable handheld mobile devices assure facility security personnel maximum flexibility for patrol and special event requirements. Value And Flexibility "At a time when international terrorism and civil unrest present unprecedented challenges, this contract award underscores the value and flexibility of Defense ID in protecting critical facilities and the people who conduct business at these facilities. We expect our military-grade security technology solution to see increasing adoption beyond the 24 military and federal installations and 16 U.S. ports where it is already deployed," said Dr. Roof.

The patent will help Intellicheck Mobilisa towards a leading role in the fingerprint biometric identity authentication industry Intellicheck Mobilisa, a provider of threat identification, identity authentication, verification and validation technology solutions, announced it has been awarded a U.S. 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. Dr. William Roof, Intellicheck CEO, remarked, "This patent allows us to make important strides in the fast growing $25 billion fingerprint biometric marketplace. 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 defense, homeland security and police utilizations 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." Federal Information Processing Standard 201 The patent has sweeping implications because it 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 U.S. Government identification methods. This standard is often reflected in the products used in the private sector as well. Growth of fingerprint biometricsis being fueled by governmentand commercial market securityneeds as well as being driven bythe ever-increasing dynamics ofdomestic and international threats 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. The instant, real time comparison and authentication of the live and embedded fingerprint enhances situational awareness and safety while mitigating threats to the facility and its personnel. This key technology also means fakes and forgeries can't escape comparing and matching embedded and live fingerprint data. Step Towards Company Vision Dr. Roof said the company's previously announced purchase of an intellectual property portfolio was driven by what he envisioned for Intellicheck's product and market future. "We recognized the enormous implications of the patent pending in the portfolio governing the process of fingerprint biometric identification when we made the purchase decision. It was a strategic decision that speaks to our vision and leadership in advancing pioneering identification authentication technology solutions and our commitment to delivering value to our customers and investors. We believe the issuance of this patent firmly positions us in a leading role in the fingerprint biometric identity authentication industry."
