Application suite to address reading of smart cards, passports, driver's licenses

Pleasanton, CA and Virginia Beach, VA – May 12, 2010 – MaxID Corp has announced the MaxIDentity Suite, a suite of software applications to verify identity and government‐issued credentials including smart cards such as PIV, PIV‐I, CAC, TWIC and driver's licenses and passports.

"The introduction of the MaxIDentity Suite is a meaningful milestone in the company’s development. Having delivered award‐winning handheld multi‐modal devices for years, the move to address the burgeoning identity software market and deliver a full application solution will help accelerate the rate of adoption of handheld biometrics overall." says Michael McCloskey, Chairman of MaxID Corp

The MaxIDentity Suite contains a series of ready‐to‐use applications to read PIV, PIV‐I, TWIC, FRAC and CAC smart cards as well as passports, ePassports, Seafarer ID cards and driver’s licenses. The MaxIDentity Suite will be available later this summer following ICE certification. The product can be purchased using the Software‐As‐A‐Service (SaaS) model, so organizations can pay a low monthly fee for the application suite as an alternative to purchasing outright. The suite will be available on the MaxID line of multimodal products including the iDL500, iDL520, and iDL750 offerings. Beginning on September 1 a trial version of the product will be included with each multimodal computer shipped from MaxID. The trial version allows the user to try the application suite for 60 days before signing up for a subscription.

"The key to the Identity Suite is that it actually is built around an extensible framework so that VAR and system integrators can rapidly extend the number of applications while leveraging the extensive support for reading contact and contactless forms of identity as well as biometrics. We believe this suite will resonate with the Maritime industry which has increasing requirements from the government including the TWIC program and the IMO" says Brian Skiba, Vice President of Product Development and Strategy at MaxID Corp.

The MaxIDentity Suite was jointly developed by MaxID Corp and RILEEN Innovative Technologies, Inc. a member of MultiModal ID, LLC.
