The demonstration will focus on the healthcare industry and will profile Identix' itrust(TM) authentication software platform with Identix fingerprint readers for local and remote authentication into secure networks. The ability to set policies and procedures around access rights for specific levels of authorization via fingerprint authentication, as well as the ability to create an audit trail to track authorized users and files accessed, will also be highlighted. Jarvis commented, "One of the key components to OpenWorld is highlighting innovative and cutting-edge technology that we believe will play a significant role in shaping the direction and adoption of new technology. Identix has clearly demonstrated to us that its biometric technology fits this criteria and we welcome their participation at OpenWorld." Scullion said, "We are very pleased to be invited by Oracle to participate in their most important conference of the year. Oracle has identified the healthcare industry as one of several industries that represent a significant opportunity for biometric technology. With the pending Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the healthcare industry is demanding a method by which to secure their networks while providing tiered levels of access for employees and consultants based on strong authentication policies. We have been aggressively targeting the healthcare industry with our biometric authentication and security solutions for the past year. We look forward to working with Oracle in the future to help spread the benefits of biometric authentication."
