At an event sponsored by the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee, the company depicted real world scenarios where users could conduct online banking and trading transactions and fill prescriptions in a secure environment. "Unlike passwords, biometrics authenticate people, not machines," said Peter Bianco, president and CEO of BioNetrix. "The use of biometrics can prevent hacking incidents, including the recent highly publicized attacks on several consumer sites. BioNetrix is pleased to help educate policymakers about the use of biometrics in protecting privacy and we applaud Congress for working with the industry to increase consumer protections." Led by Congressional Caucus Co-Chairs -- Senators Conrad Burns (R-MT) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Rick Boucher (D-VA) -- the "Networking and Tech Fair" brought together industry leaders, lawmakers and advocacy groups to discuss how emerging technologies can benefit constituents. The advisory committee selected BioNetrix to illustrate how biometrics can help ease consumer privacy concerns. "Privacy remains the largest policy issue on the Internet," said Tim Lordan, Staff Counsel for the Internet Education Foundation "We are pleased that companies like BioNetrix recognize the need to address consumer concerns and offer new technologies designed to protect privacy." BioNetrix offers a software infrastructure that allows organizations to conclusively verify users accessing their critical business information, applications and processes via corporate networks or the Internet. The revolutionary software is a flexible, open platform that makes it possible for companies to manage their existing authentication technologies more efficiently, and at the same time, migrate to more conclusive forms of authentication such as smart cards, tokens and biometrics. The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee is a diverse group of public interest, non-profit and industry groups working to educate Congress and the public about important Internet-related policy issues. About BioNetrix BioNetrix is the only authentication innovator to provide a Direct Personal Authentication Management Infrastructure that reduces costs and increases security in all computing environments through the deployment of authentication technologies -- from passwords, tokens and smart cards to biometrics. Network Computing magazine recently named the BioNetrix Authentication Suite as its "Editor's Choice" (see BioNetrix January 12th press release).
