About AssureTec Systems

AssureTec (assuretec.com) is the world leader in automated ID document authentication. Built upon patented technologies, AssureID™ can assess the authenticity of virtually any ID document in circulation, with or without machine-readable content such as magnetic stripes, bar codes or smart chips, allowing deployment of automated risk-based identity management solutions immediately without first requiring new enrollment. In accordance with FIPS 201 specifications, the system assesses the authenticity of a document without operator intervention, typically in less than five seconds, and can be used by operators with little-to-no document forensic training, significantly reducing training and operating costs and customer inconvenience. Applications include commercial identity fraud detection (i.e., banking, retail, gaming), secure enrollment (i.e., HSPD-12 PIV enrollment, driver license, passports), secure access control (i.e., border management, nuclear/chemical/high-value facilities), and age-restricted access/sale (i.e., bars/night clubs, controlled-substance sales). The company is based in Manchester, N.H.
