Automatic Document Authentication Technology

State of Florida Awards Viisage $1.1 Million Contract
BILLERICA, Mass. -- Viisage, a leading provider of advanced technology identity solutions, today announced that the State of Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) selected Viisage's automatic document authentication technology to detect falsified documents and ensure that state drivers' licenses are issued only to the rightful owners. The $1.1 million contract awarded to Viisage is part of a federally funded Department of Homeland Security program to protect critical infrastructure, and Florida is the first state to use grant funding for this express purpose. The initiative will help the state prevent attempted identity theft and fraud, a problem that plagues individuals, economies and national security. Posted by Editor at December 16, 2004 08:22 PM
