"The government would still need to confirm a person's identity with their existing processes" says Campisi. "But, from there, things get pretty easy. A person can enroll their biocard in a few minutes."

Digital Defense Group envisions a system where foreign workers, after registering with the government, are mailed a Factor4 biocard for enrollment. Once enrolled on the biocard, the user can verify their identity wirelessly for employers, government agencies and others.

"Digital Defense Group technology can catapult the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program," says Campisi. "I-9 verification becomes very easy for employers. Moreover, Factor4 biocard can be used for door-to-desktop security inside organizations with foreign workers.

Campisi added that Factor4 biocards virtually eliminates fraud and identity theft. Digital Defense Group's biocards are encapsulated in a manner that renders them useless if someone tries to tamper with them. And, because a biocard only authenticates to its enrolled user, theft is meaningless.

"We offer the highest level of security and biometric privacy simultaneously," says Campisi. "And we're pleased that our value proposition is being noticed. Even Rush Limbaugh talked yesterday about how our biocards could get the job done."
