David and all, Novel---Interesting.......Verrryyyy interesting... Does DataCard fit into the conspiracy theory? DataCard Launches Three New, Market-Focused Companies <<excerpt>>Datacard Worldwide provides financial institutions, retailers, loyalty marketers and service bureaus with the world's premier card personalization systems. Credentia offers identity systems based on digital imaging, biometrics, smart cards and other emerging technologies. MedAssure provides hospitals with patient ID systems and is developing an entirely new portfolio of technology-driven products for the broader healthcare market. Credentia--Intelligent Identity Systems(TM) DataCard Corporation pioneered digital photo ID technology and created the world's best-selling line of photo ID systems, software and printers. Now, Credentia is extending that digital photo ID leadership position and developing new systems for an increasingly digital identity world. ''As the world becomes more networked, the need for virtual ID becomes as critical, if not more critical, than visual ID,'' Highland said. ''We have anticipated this need and we're developing new solutions that harness the power of smart cards, biometrics, digital imaging and advanced security techniques.'' ''These are advanced solutions, and while DataCard has a strong brand name in the printer and photo ID markets, we needed a company name that expands our horizons beyond 'cards' and would encompass a whole range of systems for the secure capture, production and management of personal identity information.'' ''Credentia will continue to sell and support the world's best-selling digital photo ID systems and products,'' Highland said. ''But to remain the clear leader in creating identity systems, we must provide resellers and end-users with the tools they need to create secure work environments globally and to safeguard both physical and intellectual property as the worlds of physical and virtual security merge.''biz.yahoo.com steve
