SecuGen joins with the elite of the biometrics industry as BioSEC Alliance Partner

SecuGen enters the BioSEC Alliance Program to allow flexible configuration of biometric technology.

San Jose, CA (November 8, 1999) - SecuGen, a leader in fingerprint technology, announced today that it is one of the inaugural partners in BioSEC, a standard, open biometrics platform, offered by BioNetrix.

"The BioSEC framework will allow our enterprise customers to configure and manage our technology most effectively," said Dr. Edward Cheng, Vice President of Investor Relations. "SecuGen is enthusiastic about increasing the flexibility we offer our customers. Adaptable platforms have always been a priority in our vision of biometrics implementation. This partnership has helped to fill this need."

There is a large disparity in enterprise and Internet technologies employed by industries today. One system cannot be a perfect fit for all. Taking part in BioSEC adds another option to SecuGen's product line. They can now introduce their leading edge fingerprint recognition system to an array of companies, offering multiple options for each situation. 

BioNetrix has recognized SecuGen as one of the new leaders in biometrics technology by inviting them to join this consortium. "SecuGen leads the industry, offering a powerful fingerprint recognition system that is not only reliable but very cost-effective," said David Steinberg, Vice President of sales and business development for BioNetrix and chair of the BioSEC Alliance.  "By attracting 'best-of-breed' partners -- like SecuGen -- BioSEC promises to redefine the authentication industry, and the same time, make the world safe for e-business."
