ABOUT VERITEC, INC.
Founded in 1982, Veritec offers a patented line of encoding and decoding software products that utilize the 2-D Matrix Symbology, which allows users to create, apply, store, or transmit unique identifiers directly on the products or to an electronic device in the form of a coded matrix symbol, which enables automated manufacturing control, as well as identification, tracking, and collection of data via cameras, mobile phones, readers and scanners. The collected data can then be stored in the 2-D barcode available for contemporaneous verification or other user-definable purposes. Veritec's 2-D Matrix Symbologies, the VeriCode® and VSCodes®, with its incredible robustness, security features, and large data storage capacity, have proven to be the technology of choice for products tracking, identification, and verification in many automated industries. Veritec technologies are also applicable in the Secure Bio-ID Cards to provide positive identification via biometric markers such as fingerprints, or pictures. Veritec's licensed software products have recently been introduced to the banking industries via Stored-Value Cards or credit cards.
