GoVerifyID® mobile application and cloud-based SaaS solutions. These solutions
include GoMobile Interactive (“GMI”), which provides patented, secure,
dynamic messaging. More recently the Company has introduced GoVerifyID®
Enterprise Suite, which provides turnkey integration with Microsoft Windows,
Microsoft Active Directory, and security products from CA, HPE, IBM, and SAP.
These solutions are marketed and sold to businesses across many industries.
For the healthcare industry, The Company also developed and markets a patented,
FDA-Cleared, biometrically-secured, enterprise-level platform for patient engagement
and medication adherence.
Historically, we have marketed our products to government entities at the federal,
state and local levels; however, the emergence of cloud-based computing, a mobile
market that demands increased security and interoperable systems, and the proven
success of our products in the government markets, has enabled us to enlarge
our target market focus to include the emerging consumer and non-government
enterprise marketplace.
Our biometric technology is a core software component of an organization’s
security infrastructure and includes a multi-biometric identity management solution
for enrolling, managing, identifying and verifying the identities of people
by the physical characteristics of the human body. We develop, sell and support
various identity management capabilities within government (federal, state and
local), law enforcement, commercial enterprises, and transportation and aviation
markets for identification and verification purposes. Our IWS Biometric Engine
is a patented biometric identity management software platform for multi-biometric
enrollment, management and authentication, managing population databases of
virtually unlimited sizes. It is hardware agnostic and can utilize different
types of biometric algorithms. It allows different types of biometrics to be
operated at the same time on a seamlessly integrated platform. It is also offered
as a Software Development Kit (“SDK”) based search engine, enabling
developers and system integrators to implement a biometric solution or integrate
biometric capabilities into existing applications without having to derive biometric
functionality from pre-existing applications. The IWS Biometric Engine combined
with our secure credential platform, IWS EPI Builder, provides a comprehensive,
integrated biometric and secure credential solution that can be leveraged for
high-end applications such as passports, driver licenses, national IDs, and
other secure documents.
Our law enforcement solutions enable agencies to quickly capture, archive, search,
retrieve, and share digital images, fingerprints and other biometrics as well
as criminal history records on a stand-alone, networked, wireless or web-based
platform. We develop, sell and support a suite of modular software products
used by law enforcement and public safety agencies to create and manage criminal
history records and to investigate crime. Our IWS Law Enforcement solution consists
of five software modules: Capture and Investigative modules, which provide a
criminal booking system with related databases as well asthe ability to create
and print mug photo/SMT image lineups and electronic mug-books; a Facial Recognition
module, which uses biometric facial recognition to identify suspects; a Web
module, which provides access to centrally stored records over the Internet
in a connected or wireless fashion; and a LiveScan module, which incorporates
LiveScan capabilities into IWS Law Enforcement providing integrated fingerprint
and palm print biometric management for civil and law enforcement use. The IWS
Biometric Engine is also available to our law enforcement clients and allows
them to capture and search using other biometrics such as iris or DNA.
Our secure credential solutions empower customers to create secure and smart
digital identification documents with complete ID systems. We develop, sell
and support software and design systems which utilize digital imaging and biometrics
in the production of photo identification cards, credentials and identification
systems. Our products in this market consist of IWS EPI Suite and IWS EPI Builder.
These products allow for production of digital identification cards and related
databases and records and can be used by, among others, schools, airports, hospitals,
corporations or governments. We have added the ability to incorporate multiple
biometrics into the ID systems with the integration of IWS Biometric Engine
to our secure credential product line.
Our GoVerifyID products support multi-modal biometric authentication including,
but not limited to, face, voice, fingerprint, iris, palm, and more. All the
biometrics can be combined with or used as replacements for authentication and
access control tools, including tokens, digital certificates, passwords, and
PINS, to provide the ultimate level of assurance, accountability, and ease of
use for corporate networks, web applications, mobile devices, and PC desktop
environments. GoVerifyID provides patented multi-modal biometric identity authentication
that can be used in place of passwords or as a strong second factor authentication
method. GoVerifyID is provided as a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”)
solution; thereby, eliminating complex IT deployment of biometric software and
eliminating startup costs. GoVerifyID works with existing mobile devices, eliminating
the need for specialized biometric scanning devices typically used with most
biometric solutions.
GoVerifyID was built to work seamlessly with our patented technology portfolio,
including GoMobile Interactive®, the secure dynamic messaging system, and
the ultra-scalable IWS Biometric Engine that provides anonymous biometric matching
and storage. GoVerifyID is secure, simple to use, and designed to provide instant
identity authentication by engaging with the biometric capture capabilities
of each user’s mobile device. GoVerifyID also provides a fully open SDK
for organizations that require the utmost in flexibility.
Our GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite for Windows easily and seamlessly integrates
with a user’s existing Microsoft ecosystem/infrastructure to support the
user’s extended workforce. GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite secures corporate
networks from end-to-end – both applications and data – on client,
server, and cloud systems with flexible user login policies to address varied
trust requirements. Our GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite works with the smart devices
that the workforce already uses, including iOS/Android smartphones and tablets.
Our GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite for Windows provides biometric authentication
for the Microsoft ecosystem that secures enterprise security without compromising
agility, productivity, or user experience. Its comprehensive architecture offers
biometric authentication for the complete range of enterprise stakeholders,
delivering secure enterprise applications and workspaces to internal employees,
partners, suppliers and vendors, even customers. Out-of-band authentication
is provided via universally available devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
In-band authentication can be enabled via fingerprint readers, iris scanners,
and any Windows Biometric Framework compatible device. The server component
provides easy centralized management of biometric authentication policies for
all users, using a standard Snap-In to the Microsoft Management Console. It
provides greater user assurance and Single Sign-On (“SSO”) convenience
for all corporate systems and cloud applications. There is no compromise in
agility or user experience.
