Identita Selected As Winning Vendor For Airline Carrier's One Credential Framework

PRESS RELEASE

Identita The Powered Card Identity Provider™ Announces Its Selection by National Airline Carrier, As Winning Vendor for its One Person, One Identity, One Credential Framework.

Rockley, Christ Church, Barbados,– Friday October 15th, 2009 – Identita, The Powered Card™ provider of cross platform access, authorization and identity management solutions, announces its selection by one of the largest National Airline Carriers in the Middle East for the installation and management of one of the largest converged logical-physical identity and access management installations in the world.

Respecting our customer’s request for privacy and security, Identita is not releasing any customer details.

“We were confident that our “one card” concept would win over all the shareholders in the project” said CEO, Rocky Stefano. Converged IAM creates one identity assigned to one credential that encompasses all of an identity’s logical and physical access privileges. When one set of privileges changes, whether physical or logical, that alteration triggers automatic, complementary revisions in the other set.

Convergence of physical and logical identities is a nascent, but logical and likely outcome of the implementation of identity and access management systems. A sensible reason for converging identities is that when disconnected logical and physical identities proliferate, it’s time-consuming, expensive and inefficient to manage them. That’s true for IT, for physical security, for risk managers and business units.

Identita, the leader in powered card devices has mastered the art of designing secure electronic components. With today’s announcement Identita positions itself to lead the identity management field in several exciting verticals including advanced smart cards, biometric access control cards, electronic passports, loyalty cards, and the hot OTP display card market.
