HSPD-24 White Paper Now Available From WCC Smart Search & Match

January 15, 2009

UTRECHT, The Netherlands and RESTON, Virginia, January 15 /PRNewswire/ –
WCC Smart Search & Match, the leading provider of high-performance search and
match software, today announced the publication of a white paper on Homeland
Security Presidential Directive – 24 (HSPD-24).

The recently issued presidential directive mandates a new level of
interagency cooperation and interoperability to enhance the terrorist
screening process and, at the same time, specifies the use of a layered
approach to identification utilizing biometric, biographic, and related
contextual data. WCC’s new white paper explores the ramifications of HSPD-24
and explores its implications for the matching software that supports these
processes, with a close look at how WCC’s ELISE ID supports the layered
approach.

“HSPD-24 provides a focal point for efforts to enhance terrorist
screening and mandates new approaches that we believe will prove very
valuable,” said Peter Went, CEO of WCC. “ELISE ID, our platform for
multimodal fusion, can utilize biometric, biographic, and related contextual
data in any combination within the identification process, providing key
functionality to support this directive.”

WCC Smart Search & Match is a sponsor of the upcoming National Defense
Industrial Association (NDIA) “2009 Biometrics Conference: Strategies for
Implementing HSPD-24″, January 27 and 28, in Arlington, VA,
