American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators Awards Contract to IBG for Biometric Study

New York, NY—April 14, 2003—The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) has awarded a contract to International Biometric Group (IBG) to provide assistance to AAMVA's Unique Identifier Task Group in determining if a biometric can be successfully used to conduct one-to-many matching in a system of more than 200 million records.

IBG has extensive experience evaluating the use of biometric identification technologies in large-scale one-to-many applications. IBG has conducted similar studies for clients such as the Federal Aviation Administration, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

AAMVA's Unique Identifier Task Group is charged with developing a way to uniquely identify an individual such that:

·        A holder will have no more than one driver license (DL)/identification card (ID);

·     Authorized users can verify that the holder of a DL/ID card is the individual to whom the card was issued;

·     And an individual's driver record contains only information that pertains to that individual.

IBG's technology-independent and vendor-neutral position in the biometric industry, as well as its substantial experience in large-scale biometric system evaluation, make IBG uniquely qualified to assist AAMVA's Unique Identifier Task Group with this project. IBG brings to this engagement a hands-on understanding of the real-world capabilities of every leading biometric technology, IBG's proven Large-Scale Project Methodology, and industry leadership in defining privacy issues in biometric technologies and deployments.
