AssureTec: THE WORLD’S BEST AUTOMATIC ID AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

AssureTec makes the world’s most advanced ID authentication system for identity documents such as passports, visas, driver’s licenses, military IDs, social security cards, alien registration cards, and so on.

Insert an ID — any ID — into an AssureTec-supported document capture device. Within seconds, AssureTec’s software will capture all the biographic and security information from the ID and inform you whether it is valid and, if not, what the associated risk is. That is the essence of the AssureTec solution.

 

ID AUTHENTICATION IS THE FIRST STEP IN ID VERIFICATION

A forgery is an alteration or misrepresentation of an original document whereas a counterfeit is a complete imitation. Most laypeople, including bank tellers, casino cage workers, and store clerks, who are often put in the position of ensuring that a customer has a valid ID, are not qualified to determine the authenticity of ID documents. Even border and forensic document inspectors, who undergo substantial training in the Questioned Document Examination (QDE) process, often do not have enough time to truly authenticate each and every document that passes through their station, although they might be able to pick obvious fakes out quickly due to experience. (In a 2006 audit conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, authorities were able to use fake IDs in 18 out of 18 cases to enter the country — despite qualified forensic document inspection. Incidentally, when those same IDs were run through our system, they were caught.)

AssureTec’s patented technology is the best ID authentication money can buy. By automatically identifying any of over 1,600 (and growing) IDs — whether they conform to ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standards or not — and then automatically applying the right document-specific tests, AssureTec has eliminated the manual selection required by most other authentication solutions and speeded up the document inspection process. With the document type identified, AssureTec runs a theoretically unlimited number of tests on the document to determine authenticity; this capability, encoded into AssureTec’s proprietary Document Authentication Library, is simply unmatched in the industry, and allows AssureTec to provide a high degree of discrimination that would be hard to beat even by trained human inspectors.

AssureTec’s technology is deployed worldwide, in airports and seaports, border control stations, immigration counters, driver’s license issuance stations, casinos, car rental agencies, and so on.
