Rob, and all fellow IDNX'ers, Wishing the warmest of Thanksgivings. Datastrip ID Cards for Sri Lanka's Airport by:Vivian 2001-11-21 10:42:47AM Airport Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Ltd (AASL) is implementing a digitized photo ID system for employees, temporary staff and visitors, using Datastrip secure ID card technology. AASL manages and controls the logistics of the International Airport of Sri Lanka. The ID project is being implemented by Datastrip's systems integrator, Epic Lanka, who will enable AASL to commence issuing the new cards to its current 6,000 employees, temporary workers and pass holders. Eventually, the roll-out will include all visitors to the airport. The system is based on Datastrip's high capacity, compact two-dimensional (2D) symbology, which offers a cost effective method of capturing and storing secure information such as text, photograph and biometrics, in an area measuring 5/8 x 3 inches (1.6x7.6cm) that can be printed on substrates. The AASL ID cards with their encoded photos will be decoded and displayed using the DSVerify2D terminal. This new generation multifunctional terminal is a fully integrated reader and fingerprint verification device. Designed to support Datastrip's 2D codes as well as PDF417, OCR-B and smart cards, the DSVerify2D delivers instant one-to-one verification of fingerprint biometrics and can be customised to fit specific requirements for many ID initiatives - including airport security, passports, national ID, drivers' licenses and voter registration. ''The AASL decided to procure a secure ID card system considering the current concerns of security in Sri Lanka'', said Nayana Dehigama, Managing Director of Epic Lanka, the Datastrip representative in Sri Lanka. ''Due to the use of 2D barcode technology and Datastrip's DSVerify2D reader, they will now be able to carry out personnel identification activities off-line, without being dependent on high-cost, expensive network infrastructures'' asmag.com steve
