No, but then most ID card schemes up to now haven't required much functionality and therefore interoperability in the management software (it's been more about personalisation). Also MyID has only been expanded from microsoft to Oracle in the last year which tend to be used for larger databases.

If you think future ID cards are going to have increasing multifunctionality, then MyID is well-positioned.

understandably, we are hoping IGP are involved in the national ID, also as being in th UK.

However has IGP been or is gonna be involved in any other national ID project...
which have been mentioned here.

So as at March 5th 130,000 have enrolled for twic then WJ, ok not the 250,000 I was looking for but with HSPD12 figures and still a good 4 weeks worth of enrollment to come, we may hit 200,000...

Still with YEAR END coming up on 31/3/08, the more we do this month the better but with the RSA deal coming up for renewal in Sept might be better to concentrate on the Verisign and Gemalto ID Cards before then....

Think BigP was on the beer last thursday...

Boxing weekend Igoe??? do you mean you were watching the big Haye fight at the weekend??

St. Louis Port Workers Begin Enrollment for Federal Port Security Credential
ST. LOUIS, MO--(Marketwire - March 5, 2008) - Today, port workers, longshore workers, truckers and others at The Port of Metropolitan St. Louis will begin to enroll in the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program. The program's goal is to ensure that any individual who has unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities and vessels has received a thorough background check and is not a security threat.

St. Louis is the 80th port to begin enrollment. Currently, approximately 130,000 people have enrolled for a TWIC. Nationwide, more than 1 million workers with unescorted access to secure areas will apply for TWIC by the end of 2008.

"TWIC is one more step in our effort to prevent persons who are a threat from gaining access to secure areas of port facilities," said Maurine Fanguy, TWIC program director for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). "We appreciate the support of our partners with the St. Louis Port Authority for helping to make one of the world's most advanced interoperable biometric systems a reality."

"A tremendous amount of planning has been done collectively by TSA, the Coast Guard, port owners/operators, employee groups and other stakeholders in preparation for this critical phase of the TWIC program," said Coast Guard Capt. Sharon Richey. "The Coast Guard is committed to working closely with TSA and our local industry partners during the enrollment and compliance phases of the TWIC to assure a successful transition into the program."

Workers at the Port of St. Louis are able to pre-enroll for TWIC online at www.tsa.gov/twic or the Coast Guard's Homeport site, Pre-enrolling speeds up the process by allowing workers to provide biographic information and schedule a time to complete the application process in person. This eliminates waiting at enrollment centers and reduces the time it takes to enroll each individual.

About The Port of Metropolitan St. Louis: St. Louis is the nation's third-largest inland port, as well as the country's northernmost port with ice-free access year round. The port connects St. Louis via the Mississippi, Illinois, and Missouri river system with New Orleans and international waterways. St. Louis waterways offer more than 100 docks and terminal facilities, and 32 million tons of freight are handled annually.

States fall in line with Real ID


All but a handful of states have made preparations to comply with a May 1 deadline for compliance with the federal Real ID law that mandates secure driver's licenses be issued only to legal residents of the United States, according to specialists inside and outside the federal government.

The states' quiet steps to fall in line with the law appear to contradict state officials' blustering claims that they will resist the new requirements.

Meanwhile, states are grappling with the technical issues of setting up systems that will ensure that applicants for driver's licenses are vetted for proof of identity and legal presence in the country. The Homeland Security Department acknowledged early in the process of framing regulations for the law that new connections among state motor vehicle department databases and federal visa records would have to be established to allow the state agencies to verify driver's bona fides.

Complying with the May 1 deadline isn't that hard, experts in the law and regulations contend. The state governments essentially have two choices. First, they can show DHS that their driver's licenses meet the initial requirements of adopting the security and proof-of-legal presence requirements of the law.

Officials familiar with state policies in the field have estimated that at least two states already have met the legal-presence requirement that is a core aspect of the Real ID law.

Second, they can apply for a waiver to extend the date for their compliance with the law for as long as 18 months, which will likely be well into the term of the next administration.

Congress and the Bush administration adopted the Real ID law mainly as a result of findings by 9/11 Commission investigators that the militants who hijacked commercial aircraft in those attacks carried many driver's licenses issued by various state-level motor vehicle departments (DMVs).

Since the passage of the Real ID law, DHS has blinked winsomely on the statute's technical compliance details. For example, the department has exempted elderly residents who were born inside this country before all states issued birth certificates to infants born at home.

Real ID compliance is being phased in to reduce the financial burden on state governments, and those governments have received some grant funds to help pay for the credentials.

DHS now counts only four states as having failed to either obtain waivers or comply with the requirement to launch a legal-presence program. The program itself would not have to be complete by that date, but DMVs would have to announce their intent to comply.

About a third of all state governments have adopted resolutions in opposition to Real ID requirements. But almost all those states have received deadline waivers - some of them without having actually asked for the temporary exemptions. Opponents of the law raise the specter of a nationwide database of personal information. Real ID proponents note that the "pointer system" envisioned as a means of providing communications among state DMVs doesn't shift any state's data to a central registry.

Advocates of Real ID cite several other advantages of the law besides hindering the creation of false credentials for criminals and foreign militants. For example, they cite the laws' contribution to the "entity resolution" problems that face state prison systems, where convicts frequently seek to change their identities to foil prosecution for crimes committed under other names.

The FBI faces a similar problem in the development of its Next Generation Identification project to improve the accuracy of its biometric databases of individual identities. Bureau officials have cited problems with resolving the identities of persons in the federal and state prison systems as one of the major technical goals of their project. The entity resolution problem also arises in the creation of police information networks such as National Data Exchange system (N-Dex) project the FBI recently rolled out as well as that project's commercial counterparts, such as the widely adopted Coplink system.

The advocates also cite the importance of enforcing legal presence in the country as a prerequisite to any attempt to resolve the status of more than 10 million people who reside here illegally.

The most adamant state that rejects the Real ID law, Oklahoma, has passed a law stating that it will not comply with the federal Real ID requirements. However, specialists in the field including Brian Zimmer, president of the Coalition for a Secure Driver's License, note that Oklahoma has received a waiver that will delay the state's effective compliance date.

States that fail to meet their extended compliance dates could, in theory, expose their citizens to increased likelihood of stricter inspections when entering federal buildings or boarding aircraft.

Some observers contend that once the necessary technical work is done and state DMVs have worked out the kinks of providing secure driver's licenses, resistance to the law may fade and compliance benefits become clearer.

Some Real ID advocates contend that if and when the law helps expose criminals who have evaded punishment for decades by using fake documents, that positive publicity could help break down opposition to the requirements, and the recalcitrant state governments will fall into line.

If the most obdurate states, like Oklahoma, continue to refuse to comply, their driver's licenses could, in effect, become red flags, according to some observers. If Oklahoma becomes a "sanctuary state" for people who refuse to provide proof of identity or legal presence in the country, police outside the state likely will view the state's driver's licenses warily.

State lawmakers' statements that the Real ID law imposes a new requirement that private citizens properly identify themselves to the police contradict decades of U.S. Supreme Court decisions to the contrary, according to legal specialists.

Half year results (to 310308) should help broaden awareness of this gem. Am patient and will wait for the news which should show a fundamental increase in revenues and progress on the JV's. In the meantime may accumulate more on weakness.

[bigpunt10] 06/3/2008 19:45

[237gmoney] 06/3/2008 13:16

Dont know the full numbers but seems it has increased to 200,000 for the Aiport workers and like the TWIC it will increase and increase yet again...

[jailbird] 06/3/2008 10:46

how many numbers are we talking here incl the foreign nationals..anyone have a guess.?

237,

still has to won..not in the bag yet!

[237gmoney] 06/3/2008 10:36

If you check in Google, this Foreign nationals ID Card and the airport workers card is getting plenty of media coverage. Public consultation closes on May 4th 2008 so hopefully an announcement will be made after this on when IGP can start rolling out the Cards...100,000 British airport staff will be required to apply for compulsory national ID cards as well as the foregin nationals....Its a start

[pyman] 06/3/2008 09:11

yes - ID cards by the backdoor rather than the full parliamentry vote and the 'big' launch. much better - should have just got on wit hit and saved a load of time and hot air- i guess politicians need to bang on about something!

[237gmoney] 06/3/2008 09:04

ID Cards big in the news today...Foreign Nationals to start getting ID Cards this year... IGP ready to rocket....

[237gmoney] 04/3/2008 14:10

I see ID Data is on the rise recently...maybe people will see the potential in this sector and Pick IGP out soon as well

[237gmoney] 04/3/2008 12:17

Agree Howdy and good to have you on board, just many investors want quick returns and with AIM stocks they have to produce the numbers to attract the buyers.....with the type of Business IGP have all the contracts they have won and are about to win will have longer term benefits for longer term holders....

Am hoping the UK Foreign nationals ID card kicks off soon and IGP are confirmed as the contractor as this will boost the share price greatly. If this happens before the Full Yr results as I expect a decision May/June then the company will hit the radar screens of many more hopefully investors.

Hopefully the Comapny release some kind of trading update after yr end as otherwise lack newsflow will drop this share price right back down again...

[howdy do da] 04/3/2008 10:44

For what it is worth I am holding half of 1% of this firms stock and if the price retreats more ahead of year end news, I will top up aggresively. I think the upside is enormous over the next few years and am very impressed with corporate strategy and JV's announced and in the pipeline.

Am very happy to hold for the long term and of all the stocks I have been in this is the best advert for pile in and forget about it as it's all about the long term picture.

Do not pay any attention to today's trades, volumes or deal prices.

I am in the course of closing down a small trading company. The larger transactions you see at 30p are both mine and one is a put through to another of my companies.

My broker was tested first thing this morning to see if I was still there as a buyer.

With Asia hit so badly I saw no point supporting IGP's price and told my broker I would buy 50,000 at 30p. They did not want to play ball.

I see no need to chase the share price as I have my eye on another share.

I have been a sizeable buyer, but not at this price, in an oil company Frontera (FFR) which has been up 25p today at 135p. I was in this at 48p and bought more last week at 102p. But it is very speculative.

[jailbird] 03/3/2008 14:12

i'm not sure if all these are sells..just the 30k

is someone B&Bing again or swapping the 67.5ks

[237gmoney] 03/3/2008 14:02
