Priva's Cleared(R) Security Platform Achieves SAFETY Act Designation From Department of Homeland Security
Posted on: Wednesday, 16 July 2008, 09:01 CDT
Priva Technologies, Inc. says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated its Cleared(R) Security Platform as a Developmental Testing and Evaluation (DT&E) technology under the SAFETY Act of 2002.
The Cleared platform, which is being deployed at undisclosed airports, validates credentials of airport employees through the use of high tech identification badges. The platform incorporates the only commercially-available, biometrically-enabled microchip with the Government's FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, according to Jeff Minushkin, Priva's Chairman and CEO.
The DT&E designation further underscores the importance of our technology, Minushkin says, noting that the designation was achieved only after an extensive review by the DHS to determine the efficacy of the technology.
SAFETY Act designation provides Priva and the end users of its ClearedBadge(TM) and ClearedKey(TM) with important liability protections that enhance the prospects for broad-based distribution and usage of the technology at airports in a timely fashion, Minushkin noted.
The Department of Homeland Security's web site dedicated to the law (www.safetyact.gov) notes that the goal of the SAFETY (Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies) Act is to encourage the development and deployment of new and innovative anti-terrorism products and services by providing liability protections.
