IDsmart invites you to visit our stand (# 4K13) at the Cards Asia Exhibition and ID Management Summit. IDsmart will present its unique biometric security token, the SensorCard™.    The SensorCard is a miniature computer in a credit card format that authenticates the cardholder by matching the fingerprints that he or she automatically captured, encrypted and stored on the card during the enrollment process.   The SensorCard verifies that the card user is the person to whom the card was issued.  And, with IDsmart’s proprietary Capture-Store-Match (CSM) technology, the cardholder’s fingerprints never leave their cards and are never stored in a central database.   IDsmart will also feature keynote speaker Bhaskar Ganguly, Director of Security Solutions for Honeywell Building Solutions in Asia on the topic of “The Role of Identity Systems in the 21st Century Market.” Bhaskar is an active member in the industry and continues to speak on current security trends in various industry engagements across the region.   For more information, please visit our website at www.id-smart.com.
