Acquisition for Gemalto.

[igoe104] 20/2/2007 09:23

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced a final rule, effective March 26, 2007, to set forth regulatory requirements to implement the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program. TWIC is a TSA and U.S. Coast Guard initiative.

The TWIC program provides a tamper-resistant biometric credential to maritime workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities, outer continental shelf facilities, and vessels regulated under the Maritime Transportation Security, and all U.S. Coast Guard credentialed merchant mariners. TSA estimated that 750,000 individuals will require TWICs, therefore, enrollment and issuance will take place over an 18 month period.

To obtain a TWIC, an individual must provide biographic and biometric information such as fingerprints, sit for a digital photograph, and successfully pass a security threat assessment conducted by TSA.

A second rulemaking is anticipated in 2007 and will propose additional access control requirements and the use of electronic readers. The public will have opportunities to comment on the proposed standards

YES any involvement in these two programs, will have a massive impact on the share price, it won,t be that long before it kicks off either.

the American Association of Port Authorities is expected to tell Congress today. Underfunded programs include a new national ID credential that the Port of Wilmington is expected to roll out next month.

The above refers to the failure of RFID for the US Visit programme. Whichever way you look at it, the US now seems likely to move to biometric ID cards of one sort or another for citizens and visitors.

DHS cancels RFID tags for U.S. Visit
By Alice Lipowicz, Contributing Writer

The Homeland Security Department is abandoning the idea of using radio frequency identification tags to track foreign visitors leaving the country because the technology was not proven successful in testing, according to DHS secretary Michael Chertoff.

In Feb. 9 testimony to the House Homeland Security Committee, Chertoff confirmed that RFID testing performed as part of the U.S. Visitor and Immigration Status Indicator Technology (U.S. Visit) program at several land border crossing points was not effective.

In those tests, foreign visitors were given an I-94 document with an embedded RFID tag. When the RFID tag passed through exit lanes at the border, it was to be read wirelessly by readers suspended above the lanes. The RFID tags contained a reference number linked to a departmental database with biometric information on the visitor issued the document.

The Government Accountability Office in a Jan. 31, 2007, report said the readers did not detect the tags reliably.

"The RFID test proved, as GAO indicated, unsuccessful," Chertoff told the committee.

"I mean, this is the real world," Chertoff said. "I think, yes, we're abandoning it. That's not going to be a solution. So in the real world, when something fails, we drop it and we move to the next thing," he added

Chertoff addressed several challenges facing the U.S. Visit program, which records fingerprints for all foreign visitors. The program also is intended to track when visitors exit the country, but Chertoff said the department is facing serious hurdles in meeting that goal.

To improve U.S. Visit and make it interoperable with FBI fingerprinting and other programs globally, the program is increasing the number of fingerprints needed for entry into the country from two to 10 for entry, and will be deployed oversees and at all major points of entry by the end of 2008, Chertoff told the committee.

As for the exit portion of U.S. Visit, Chertoff said the department is looking at a plan for implementing exit tracking at the airports, which he said is technologically possible. He declined to provide any further details.

Exit tracking at the land borders is proving to be very daunting, he added.

"I'll be very candid about where the challenge we face with exit," Chertoff said. "At the land ports of entry ... if we were to be required to stop every single person when they leave to determine who is a citizen and who's not a citizen, who gives their biometric and who doesn't give their biometric, we would have extremely long lines in places like Detroit and Buffalo, [as well as] the southern border, as well."

Chertoff suggested that one solution for keeping track of exits from the United States might be to work more closely with the Canadian and Mexican authorities in documenting the visitors entering their countries.

The department must come up with a more efficient system for tracking who is leaving the United States, Chertoff said. "That's going to require us to work with the Canadians and the Mexicans to see whether we can share information on their side of the border, so people only have to stop once rather than twice," he said.

Also at the hearing, Chertoff said the Bush administration's plans for a new temporary work visa will require identification cards for the foreign workers in that program.

"It is quite clear that a foundation of a temporary worker program will have to require a secure identification card and then that card will have to be something which it will be in the interest of the temporary worker to make sure is being recorded when that person enters and leaves the country," Chertoff said.

worth a read.

But will the initial round of TWIC cards have to be replaced to meet the new requirements? "The intent is for this to be an update to the cards, not a reissue," said Walter Hamilton, a member of the TWIC advisory group and chairman of the International Biometric Industry Association.

igoe

I have owned a time-share villa there for 7 years which allows us 2 weeks in February. Only go there for a week and exchange the other.

I cleaned up on the roulette one year and came out with $12,000 in my wallet. Then I promptly left my wallet in a taxi on the Monday I returned to the U.K. and lost the lot!!! It's amazing how quickly you sober up when you know you have lost the lot.

Never heard a whisper from the taxi rank.

No volume, no business so the MM's drop the price to test the waters.

They will move it up just as fast as they drop the price on any sizeable demand.

Just to make you all green with envy; I am off to Antigua later in the week for a short break. I have sizeable funds waiting to buy. I only hope I do not miss a buying opportunity while I am away.

Good luck everyone and I hope good news breaks in my absence.

[carly2] 11/2/2007 19:41

So why the fall in share price on Friday - mms working in a buy? Any ideas on who wants to buy in - and who wants out - and at what prices?
Best wishes all

ITS diffcult to say when the next batch of news is due. yes any news on the 40 usa government contract, should be a few weeks away. but we could hear of news about twic involvement, (fingers crossed) especially the cards have been up-graded to come in line with hspd-12 program.

(However, it now seems that the technology specs are fluid and there is a move to make it more sophisticated/secure, include biometric data and comply with HSPD-12.)

also there is 14 other usa agencies up for graps, anytime now. igp could end up being involved with 7.5 out 8 million hspd-12 program.

TWIC program could be just as big, its starts with a 850,000 roll-out, but could eventually, could involve over 8 million, as the program expands. but i think twic is a situation where we will have to wait and see, as nothing clear at the moment but igp seem to tick the right boxers.

this could be holding things up.

TAKEN from another message board, worth a read. especially as he works with smart cards.

It might be valuable to look at how IGP sell, not directly, but via the main 'expert' security companies. RSA, Thales, Safenet, Verisign etc These organisations have selected MyID to work with because of its flexibility and agnostic approach to vendor hardware and cards. It can work with all the major PKI certificate authorities too. The security expert companies know that they can plug MyID into any existing card system, or new implementation. Key aspects to winning business. I have been working with smart cards for some time now, and one of the issues has always been getting one suppliers kit to work with another, readers, middleware, databases, etc. MyID has been designed to sit in the middle of all of that and tie it all together. There is not another product to my knowledge that does it to the extent MyID does.
