Major U.S. International Airport Selects Bioscrypt19 January 2005
Bioscrypt Inc. (TSX: BYT), a leading provider of identity verification technology, announced today that Bioscrypt's biometric fingerprint readers are a component in the winning bid for a security upgrade at a major U.S. International Airport. The airport industry continues to demonstrate that it is aggressively adopting biometrics. As initiatives to increase security at ports of entry move forward, it is important that all potential points of access be addressed. With the implementation of biometric access control readers at employee-only areas such as runways, tarmacs and baggage handling areas, airports are introducing multi-factor authentication. Biometric verification strengthens security by adding the element of who you are to a process that traditionally is limited to what you have or what you know in order to gain access to restricted areas. "We are pleased to provide the biometric physical access component to this significant International Airport's security infrastructure," said Robert L. Williams, President and CEO, Bioscrypt. "We believe that the system designed for this project is one that can be replicated at airports around the world."
