NEW YORK, May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SmartMetric, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SMME - News), developer and manufacturer of the world's most advanced secure identity and transaction solution, today announced that its flagship microchip/sensor fingerprint ID technology is suited for the "tamper- proof" identification card called for by President George Bush.

President Bush, in his May 15, 2006 primetime address to the nation on immigration policy, appealed for a "new identification card for every legal foreign worker." He also stated that the card, a cornerstone of his immigration reform initiative, "should use biometric technology, such as digital fingerprints, to make it tamperproof."
"SmartMetric is pleased to report that its onboard, microchip-based fingerprint sensor technology is ideally suited for the purposes cited by President Bush," said Colin Hendrick, president and CEO of SmartMetric, Inc. "Not only is the technology a perfect match, but it is affordable, practical, and ready for large-scale deployment. SmartMetric is doing all it can to provide the federal government with a solution it needs to ensure responsible, cost-effective, and totally reliable ID verification for legal U.S. immigrants."
SmartMetric's fingerprint ID card is a wallet-sized device similar in size and thickness to a conventional credit card. On the card, however, is embedded a microchip/sensor unit. To activate the card for personal identification, the user touches the card in a designated area, after which a unique digital signature of the fingerprint is permanently stored on the card. Readings are 99.999% accurate, even if the person's hands are dirty or calloused, and cannot be duplicated or circumvented by another person.

Cost per user of SmartMetric-powered cards support mass deployment, with economies of scale in the production process making the card even more affordable. Suitable uses for the card include military identification, passports and building security as well as financial transactions, e-commerce and retail purchases. Working prototypes of the card are currently being evaluated by the U.S. government.
In his address, President Bush stated the critical need for holding employers accountable for illegal immigrants they hire. However, he added that this need is problematic. "Businesses often cannot verify the legal status of their employees, because of the widespread problem of document fraud," he said.
"Therefore, comprehensive immigration reform must include a better system for verifying documents and work eligibility. A key part of that system should be a new identification card for every legal foreign worker." After citing biometric fingerprint technology as the best ID solution for the task, the president went on to say that such a card "would help us enforce the law, and leave employers with no excuse for violating it."

(04/05/06, 8:35 AM GMT)
New York, N.Y. ?Claiming it is the only bulletproof way of guaranteeing the security of identification and credit cards, SmartMetric, Inc. has developed a fingerprint microchip/sensor for use in any type of wallet-sized plastic card-credit cards, ID cards, smart cards, drivers licenses, and passports.

According to Colin Hendrick, president and CEO of SmartMetric, the technology the company uses allows storage of a person's fingerprint profile in digital form on the microchip.
To activate the card for any purpose, the person touches the card in the designated area. Readings, he claims are are 99.999% accurate, even if the person's hands are dirty or calloused.
SmartMetric's biometric ID technology, said Hendrick, has applications in dozens of fields, especially in the credit, medical, military, banking, technology, and transportation industries.
Cards using SmartMetric fingerprint sensing technology can be deployed in two forms. One is as a contact card suitable for use in smart card readers, ATM machines and other situations where the card is inserted in a reader.

The second form is as a contactless card employing RF (radio frequency) signaling for use in building lobbies, schools and other locations where fast throughput of individuals is desirable.
He said the contactless version can also be used within wireless networks to establish identity before logging on to computer networks.

"The SmartMetric superthin microprocessor includes flash memory and a rechargeable power supply," Hendrick said. "It is essentially a nano PC, making it suitable for a wide range of digital and/or software-based applications with the proper initial programming."
In addition to its other uses, SmartMetric technology can be employed as a "gatekeeper" for personal computer settings. y validating the person's identity at the beginning of a computer session, the card can not only establish pre-set desktop preferences automatically, but also create a secure environment for online shopping, instant form filling, and other financial or personal activities, he said.

Fingerprint Scanner Designed For Use Inside Credit Cards
SmartMetric, Inc. has developed what it says is the world's first practical fingerprint microchip/sensor for use in wallet-size cards such as credit cards and drivers licenses. The chip promises 99.999% accuracy, even on dirty or calloused hands.

NEW YORK /PRNewswire/ -- It's a security-obsessed world. Identity theft, racial profiling, border checkpoints, computer passwords ... it all boils down to a simple question: "Are you who you say you are?"

SmartMetric, Inc., a Wall Street company, has developed a means to reliably answer this deceptively simple question. It has developed the world's first practical fingerprint microchip/sensor for use in any type of wallet-sized plastic card-credit cards, ID cards, smart cards, drivers licenses, passports and more.

Affordable and portable, SmartMetric's technology stores a person's fingerprint profile in digital form on the microchip. To activate the card for any purpose, the person touches the card in the designated area; readings are 99.999% accurate, even if the person's hands are dirty or calloused.

SmartMetric's biometric ID technology has applications in dozens of fields, especially in the credit, medical, military, banking, technology, and transportation industries. State and federal governments have already expressed interest in the product due to its simplicity and dependability.

"We believe this is the most sophisticated, yet functional security and identity solution in the world," said Colin Hendrick, president and CEO of SmartMetric, Inc. "Not only is the technology reliable, but it simplifies the entire process of identity authentication since no central fingerprint database is required. Everything that's needed is on the card itself."
Cards using SmartMetric fingerprint sensing technology can be deployed in two forms: a contact card suitable for use in smart card readers, ATM machines and other situations where the card is inserted in a reader; and a contactless card employing RF (radio frequency) signaling for use in building lobbies, schools and other locations where fast throughput of individuals is desirable.

The contactless version can also be used within wireless networks to establish identity before logging on to computer networks.
SmartMetric was formed in 2002 to develop and market this groundbreaking technology. Hendrick, an inventor and software engineer, created the on-card microchip sensor and reader technology and has patents and patents pending.

"The SmartMetric superthin microprocessor includes flash memory and a rechargeable power supply," Hendrick notes. "It is essentially a nano PC, making it suitable for a wide range of digital and/or software-based applications with the proper initial programming."

In addition to its other uses, SmartMetric technology can be employed as a "gatekeeper" for personal computer settings.

RFID biometric smartcard reads even grubby paws, helps prevent fraud
Fingerprint reader machines, such as those used by government immigration services, are a big pain to use. Your fingers must be dry, warm, and oil-free for the scanners to pick up a print, at least one detailed enough to satisfy homeland security officials.

Yet the biometrics industry insists that tiny readers can be tossed around in your pocket all day, gathering dust, and still reliably read your grubby fingertip in an instant.

The SmartMetric (www.smartmetric.com) fingerprint reader, for example, uses radio frequency technology to read and compare the pits and ridges on your fingertip -- a method that ''overcomes issues of dirt and oil," said company chief executive Colin Hendrick.
SmartMetric, with offices in New York and Las Vegas, has developed its fingerprint reader to fit on an ID card that can be read by a device up to 30 feet away, via radio frequency identification (RFID).

The SmartMetric reader will be available first for use in security access cards by government agencies and Fortune 500 companies, Hendrick said. A worker will press his finger on the reader on his ID card, a green light on the card will signal a match, and then the card will transmit the employee's name, ID number, and photo (not the fingerprint) to a nearby computer at a security desk.

By the end of the year, Hendrick hopes, online shoppers will be able to get smartcards with SmartMetric readers that plug into low-cost US

The Wise Marketer: United States -based SmartMetric Inc. has developed a practical fingerprint microchip/sensor for use in any type of wallet-sized plastic card, whether credit cards, ID cards, smart cards, drivers licenses or passports. The potential of a card that can reliably verify its owner's finger print before allowing itself to be used is almost unlimited, especially if the price is low enough for mass issue. SmartMetric's technology stores the cardholder's fingerprint profile in digital form on the chip.

Fingerprint Scanner Inside Credit Cards
It's a security-obsessed world. Identity theft, racial profiling, border checkpoints, computer passwords ... it all boils down to a simple question: "Are you who you say you are?"
SmartMetric has developed a means to reliably answer this deceptively simple question. It has developed the world's first practical fingerprint microchip/sensor for use in any type of wallet-sized plastic card-credit cards, ID cards, smart cards, drivers licenses, passports and more.
Affordable and portable, SmartMetric's technology stores a person's fingerprint profile in digital form on the microchip. To activate the card for any purpose, the person touches the card in the designated area; readings are 99.999% accurate, even if the person's hands are dirty or calloused.

SmartMetric's biometric ID technology has applications in dozens of fields, especially in the credit, medical, military, banking, technology, and transportation industries. State and federal governments have already expressed interest in the product due to its simplicity and dependability.

"We believe this is the most sophisticated, yet functional security and identity solution in the world," said Colin Hendrick, president and CEO of SmartMetric, Inc. "Not only is the technology reliable, but it simplifies the entire process of identity authentication since no central fingerprint database is required. Everything that's needed is on the card itself."
Cards using SmartMetric fingerprint sensing technology can be deployed in two forms: a contact card suitable for use in smart card readers, ATM machines and other situations where the card is inserted in a reader; and a contactless card employing RF (radio frequency) signaling for use in building lobbies, schools and other locations where fast throughput of individuals is desirable.

The contactless version can also be used within wireless networks to establish identity before logging on to computer networks.
SmartMetric was formed in 2002 to develop and market this groundbreaking technology. Hendrick, an inventor and software engineer, created the on-card microchip sensor and reader technology and has patents and patents pending.

"The SmartMetric superthin microprocessor includes flash memory and a rechargeable power supply," Hendrick notes. "It is essentially a nano PC, making it suitable for a wide range of digital and/or software-based applications with the proper initial programming."

In addition to its other uses, SmartMetric technology can be employed as a "gatekeeper" for personal computer settings. By validating the person's identity at the beginning of a computer session, the card can not only establish pre-set desktop preferences automatically, but also create a secure environment for online shopping, instant form filling, and other financial or personal activities
