Daon Announces Launch of Secure Credentialing Identity Solution


    Daon, a global leader in identity software and services, today
    announced the launch of the world's leading interoperable identity
    management system for travelers using biometric data - the Central
    Identity Management System (CIMS). CIMS was developed in partnership
    with the Transportation Security Clearinghouse (TSC), a wholly-owned
    subsidiary of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).

    The CIMS solution forms the 'hub' of the US Registered Traveler
    program, a public/private sector partnership dedicated to deliver
    enhanced security and convenience to the US airport community. CIMS is
    the first system of its type in the world: a multi-biometric,
    standards-based, interoperable identity management system supporting
    local airports solutions, but enabling use nationwide. Along with TSA,
    over 70 of the nation's airports and 30 technology companies endorsed
    and approved the CIMS specification.

    "The TSC joins a rapidly growing list of leading organizations and
    governments who have selected Daon software as part of their identity
    assurance programs. By leveraging Daon's COTS technology and expertise
    the CIMS system can properly serve the demanding credentialing
    requirements of this national system. We all face increased pressure
    to show results and the TSC is thoroughly impressed with Daon's
    expertise and performance," according to Carter Morris, AAAE Senior
    Vice President.

    The CIMS was developed to process millions of enrollments
    utilizing DaonEngine(R), a highly flexible and scalable identity
    software platform which serves as the backbone for identity assurance
    programs around the globe. CIMS also incorporates (through standard
    connector products) state-of-the-art technology for LG Iris Technology
    Division and Motorola. "CIMS is an excellent application of our core
    technology. It clearly demonstrates the power of interoperability in
    large-scale biometric deployments. The system empowers Service
    Providers to develop flexible, robust, scalable solutions," said Tom
    Grissen, CEO of Daon.

    The CIMS is responsible for several key functions in the RT
    architecture, including processing of all enrollment records,
    interfacing with the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) for
    background checks and participant vetting, establishment of the chain
    of trust throughout the system from vetted enrollments through issued
    credentials, and managing the alert process with Service Providers
    regarding revoked credentials.
