CALVERTON, N.Y., March 13, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- AdZone Research, Inc. (OTCBB:ADZR), a pioneering Internet surveillance technology-solutions provider, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Princeton, N.J.-based Sarnoff Corporation (www.sarnoff.com), creator of innovations in video, electronics, and digital communications. The MOU calls for the two entities to jointly market their respective expertise to agencies of the U.S. government engaged in the global war against terrorism.
The companies plan to offer technology that discovers and tracks clandestine communications by terrorist or other outlaw groups across the World Wide Web. Their combined expertise can produce advanced tools for uncovering and decoding hidden messages and other content embedded in the pixels of innocent-looking Web pages.
"With Sarnoff's rich history of scientific accomplishments, and its commitment to cutting-edge development, we're gratified to be strategically aligned with this company," said AdZone's Chairman & CEO, Charles Cardona III. "This agreement underscores the serious capabilities our technology brings to the larger picture of helping to protect the world against those who brazenly have made no secret of their continuing desire to put humanity in harm's way no matter where or when."
AdZone is the creator of NetGet(tm), a pioneering Internet surveillance technology originally designed to track Web-based advertising. The company also has significant expertise in steganographic analysis, an approach to decoding messages hidden in graphics.
Sarnoff is well known for image analysis tools such as JNDmetrix(tm), the Emmy(r)-winning technology for measuring human perception of artifacts in a video image, as well as expertise in video watermarking to prevent or track piracy of movies and other intellectual property. The company has also done extensive work on the integration of cybersecurity and steganographic tools.
No further financial details, specifics relating to the respective technologies, or integration particulars connected to the MOU are available at this time.
