The Scanner Verification Card enables the cardholder's fingerprint to be read three-dimensionally. The thumb is placed on the card center that matches the fingerprint already stored in the card. This three-dimensional reading is superior to existing two-dimensional systems in that it permits 100% accuracy in identification. PIN numbers will be eliminated.

This marks DDSI's first venture to develop a patented technology which will allow the company to expand to markets other than law enforcement.

Garrett U. Cohn, president, chairman and chief executive officer of Digital Descriptor Systems Inc., stated, "This development work has generated interest from the Swedish Telephone Company, as well as the Norwegian Government." Cohn went on to say, "From a technical point of view, we will obtain insight into scanner technology and gather information regarding the cost of producing this product."
