Sorry if already posted. HA-API is here again. NW SAFLINK Releases First Internet Security Software That Bundles Voice, Face, and Finger Biometrics as a Standard Feature TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- SAFLINK Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of The National Registry Inc. (Nasdaq: NRID) (NRI), today announced the immediate availability of Release Version 1.0 of its SAFsite(TM) product for Internet security with built-in support for three leading biometric technologies including speaker recognition from Learnout & Hauspie Speech Products N.V. (L&H), facial image recognition from Visionics, Inc., and fingerprint verification from Cogent Systems, Inc. This bundle of HA-API compliant technologies is now being offered as a standard feature of the SAFsite license at no additional cost. SAFLINK will continue to offer its other HA-API compliant biometric technologies as separately priced options or upgrades. SAFsite is the latest addition to the growing family of SAF security software products that have been seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Windows NT to address specific areas of network authentication within an enterprise. SAFsite is a packaged development kit that works with leading Internet application development tools, such as Everyware Development Corporation's Tango, Allaire's Cold Fusion, Netscape's SuiteSpot, Microsoft's Visual InterDev, HAHT Software Inc.'s HAHT site, and NetDynamics' Enterprise Network Application Platform, to provide a more positive means of authenticating the identities of individuals seeking access to protected Web pages. Unlike traditional passwords and other authentication schemes that can be easily forgotten, transferred between individuals, or discovered by hackers, SAFsite requires the presentation of a biometric credential, or SAFtyPIN(TM), created from an individual's voice, face, finger or other unique physical characteristic to ensure that online information, databases, and commerce transactions remain confidential and are not compromised. SAFsite provides browser extensions, ActiveX controls for Microsoft's Internet Explorer and "plug-ins" for Netscape's Communicator, that lead users through the enrollment and authentication process. All enrolled user information is stored in the in SAF Server using Microsoft's SQL Server Database and RSA's RC4 encryption. SQL Server replication and Microsoft's Cluster Server provide scalability and resiliency for high traffic Web sites. "Web site developers can now tailor their user authentication security methodology to provide a choice of biometric technologies that best fit their needs and the diverse base of equipment configurations and user preferences in the marketplace," said Clinton C. Fuller, SAFLINK's Chief Operating Officer. "SAFsite's multi-biometric technology bundle dramatically expands the universe of hardware devices that can be used to capture SAFtyPINs from individuals over the Internet. With the expected growth in IP telephony and video conferencing, more and more computers will be configured with microphones and video cameras making implementation and administration of this proven technology a more ubiquitous, convenient, and cost effective means of establishing positive one-to-one relationships with customers, employees, and other users in a variety of Web based business-to-consumer and business-to- business applications." SAFsite currently supports most Microsoft audio/video compliant products and a growing number of low cost finger imaging scanners. The National Registry Inc. and SAFLINK Corporation, based in Tampa, Florida, bring the Power of Biometric Identification(TM) to enterprise networks and the Internet. The Company provides cost-effective multi- biometric software solutions to verify individual identity, to protect business and personal information, and to replace passwords and PINs in order to safeguard and simplify access to electronic systems and enable new online services for customers. The Company's Secure Authentication Facility (SAF) suite of multi-biometric network security products delivers enterprise-level secure access control to a growing list of software platforms and network applications, including Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R) and Internet Information Server(R), Novell NetWare(R) and Computer Associates Unicenter(R) TNG(TM) and its Single Sign-On(TM) option.
