Topaz Systems, Inc.: IDGem Electronic Biometric Signature and Fingerprint Capture Terminal with Bundled SigID Software


SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 7, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Topaz Systems, Inc. announces the release of IDGem(tm)-series biometric identity verification and signature capture terminals with bundled SigID(tm) electronic fingerprint scoring software. IDGem is available as a standalone fingerprint capture sensor, integrated large or small interactive LCD display signature capture and fingerprint sensor tablet, and integrated simultaneous ink-on-paper-enabled tablet and sensor. IDGem systems feature the same forensic-quality signature capture technology as Topaz SignatureGem(tm) tablets, but incorporate the added benefit of a high-resolution RF-inductive electronic fingerprint sensor, enabling robust and accurate biometric authentication for use in any high-security environment or where identity verification is a top priority.

IDGem's integrated biometric system allows for two layers of electronic authentication. The first is the electronic signature capture terminal, which captures a user's handwritten signature's strokes, speed, and timing within 99.5% accuracy as a biometric vector file. This data can be compared to a previously existing electronic signature template using Topaz's bundled SigValid(tm) software, or used to build new reference templates on the fly. Additionally, the sophisticated integrated fingerprint sensor captures the fingertip's subcutaneous living skin layer for an exceptionally accurate and reliable fingerprint image. Like the signature data, this fingerprint image can be compared with a previously existing fingerprint template using SigID software, or used to create a new template. Together, these two technologies ensure accurate, reliable, and instantaneous biometric identity verification.

"IDGem provides an integrated approach to layered biometric identification, as well as all necessary software," says Topaz President Anthony Zank. "The IDGem system can be used to capture biometrics for applications where continuing authentication is needed as well as applications requiring one-time transactions."
