The future ofthe "secure transaction" and the success ofall undertakings that depend on absolute
certainty that the individuals involved really are who and what they represent themselves to be is
dependent upon the successful development of absolutely accurate, low-cost and easy-to-operate
Biometric Identification Systems.
Whether these transactions are political, military, financial or administrative (e.g. health cards,
drivers licenses, welfare entitlement, national identification cards, credit card transactions, etc.),
the need for such secure and positive identification has never been greater -and yet we are only at
the beginning ofan era in which we will see the emergence and proliferation of Biometric
Identification Systems in nearly every field ofhuman endeavor.
Proper application ofthese systems will change the way the world operates, and that is precisely
the goal ofComparator Systems Corporation. Just as with the photo-copier 40 years ago and the
personal computer 20 years ago, the potential applications for positive personal identification are
going to make the Biometric Identification System a commonplace component in the standard
practice ofbusiness, and in interhuman relationships ofall kinds.
The development of new and specific application hardware, as well as the necessary algorithms
and related software required for integration into existing operating procedures and newly
developed systems alike, has been a more-than-a-decade-long process at Comparator -and we are
now on the verge of delivering these systems to the world markets so urgently in need of them.
An individual could feel extremely confident and satisfied ifhe could present his credit, debit, or
ATM card at any point of sale and, after inserting his card, could simply place his finger on a glass
panel and in less than a second be positively accepted as being the person that the card purported
him to be; not to mention the security and satisfaction of the vendor involved in knowing that his
fraud risk had been reduced to virtually zero.
In highly sensitive security applications, such a system would be imperative -and when
combined, if necessary, with other biometric identifiers such as signature and/or voice recognition
for simultaneous verification, one would have a nearly foolproof system.
These are the tools of what we call Transaction Facilitation, and this is the realm of Comparator
Systems Corp. Our technological developments over the last ten years have moved our Company
forward into a position of potential leadership in what is fast becoming a worldwide market, and it
is toward this end that we have applied all of our efforts.
