Omaha, Neb. (May 17, 2006) – Digital Defense™ Group today endorsed President Bush’s call for biometric ID cards for legal foreign workers, insisting that privacy and security can be attained simultaneously and without undue burden to taxpayers. The company’s Factor4™ biocards™ are the world’s only self-enrolling, credit card-sized fingerprint authentication device – technology that puts a user’s unique biometric signature directly onto the card and eliminates the need for a centralized database or external software during enrollment and authentication. Bush’s proposal would work especially well with Factor4 biocard
technology according to Steve Campisi, president of Digital Defense
Group.
“The government would still need to confirm a person’s identity
with their existing processes” says Campisi. “But, from there, things
get pretty easy. A person can enroll their biocard in a few minutes.”
Digital Defense Group envisions a system where foreign workers,
after registering with the government, are mailed a Factor4 biocard for
enrollment. Once enrolled on the biocard, the user can verify their
identity wirelessly for employers, government agencies and others. Campisi added that Factor4 biocards virtually eliminates fraud and identity theft. Digital Defense Group’s biocards are encapsulated in a manner that renders them useless if someone tries to tamper with them. And, because a biocard only authenticates to its enrolled user, theft is meaningless. “We offer the highest level of security and biometric privacy simultaneously,” says Campisi. “And we’re pleased that our value proposition is being noticed. Even Rush Limbaugh talked yesterday about how our biocards could get the job done.” About Digital Defense Group |
