Fingerprints Replaces PIN-codes and Passwords at Corporations - Precise Biometrics and Gemalto Release Match-on-Card for Microsoft Windows

Gemalto and Precise Biometrics today introduce Gemalto .NET Bio. This
innovative solution enables organizations to enhance network security
and protect online identities by replacing weak, static passwords,
with strong authentication. Gemalto .NET Bio includes Precise
Biometrics' fingerprint technology, Precise Match-on-Card(TM), and is
easy to deploy and manage. The solution also integrates seamlessly
into Microsoft Windows environments.

The Precise Match-on-Card(TM) technology stores and verifies users'
fingerprint information directly on a smart card, in this case a
Gemalto .NET card.  The fingerprint information never leaves the card
and is never stored in a database, thus protecting their digital
identities and privacy.

Organizations employ Gemalto smart cards and tokens for strong user
authentication to their networks, as well as for data encryption and
digital signature services. Traditionally, smart cards are protected
by a PIN to verify the holder of the device is its legitimate owner.

With Gemalto .NET Bio, organizations benefit from the convenience of
fingerprint authentication and the portability and security of smart
card devices, all seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Windows
operating systems and applications."Gemalto and Precise Biometrics have done a great job integrating
smart cards and biometrics within the security layer of Windows
Operating systems." said Dustin Ingalls, Director of Program
Management: Windows Core Operating System Division, Microsoft.

Thomas Marschall, Precise Biometrics' CEO, is very pleased with the
cooperation with Gemalto for the product development and comments:

-          This solution creates a major volume market opportunity
for Precise Match-on-Card in the employee ID segment due to its
simplicity and user-friendliness, as it eliminates the need for any
additional middleware and installation. In combination with the wide
availability of fingerprint readers in laptops, there is a clear
business case for cost-savings and increased security for any
organization. We count on a number of projects to start up already
this year.

Gemalto .NET Bio works seamlessly with a wide range of applications
for Windows and provides a very familiar user experience. The
solution has an intuitive interface and users can enroll their
fingerprints on the cards themselves, making it straightforward and
cost-effective for both IT administrators and employees.

The solution will be demonstrated by Gemalto at the 2009 RSA
Conference in San Francisco, US 20-24 April 2009.
