• Identix Incorporated, a multi-biometrics security technology company, announced that the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco), the world's largest oil producing company, has awarded Identix a purchase order to provide fingerprint biometric live scan systems to assist Aramco in providing identity management solutions for its more than 54,000 employees worldwide. ...
• Under the terms of this purchase order, which is valued in excess of $1 million, Identix will provide multiple Identix TouchPrint(TM) 3500 live scan systems to Saudi Aramco for deployment to locations throughout the world to facilitate employee enrollment via fingerprint biometrics. Aramco is instituting a program throughout its facilities worldwide to enroll its employees via fingerprint biometrics to help ensure that the company can identify employees and provide privileges and benefits based on absolute identification that cannot be duplicated, lost or stolen. ...
• Because it is based on a very open and flexible architecture, the Aramco Identity Management system will enable fingerprints enrolled via Identix TouchPrint live scan systems that are initially used for background checks, to be used in the future for biometric-based employee ID cards, as well as for physical and logical access. ...
• Atick commented, "We believe this win, with such a reputable and established multi-national conglomerate as Aramco, provides solid affirmation of the progress we are making in the international marketplace and provides a high profile illustration of how biometrics can provide a safer and more secure work environment for both public and private enterprises, wherever located. ...

• Fingerprints and facial images.
• The Commission is proposing that two biometric identifiers are taken from individuals, a digital photograph as a "facial image" and fingerprints which will both be stored on a contactless-chip embedded in a document. The collection and storing of the "facial image" is to be "mandatory" to which a second biometric identifier, fingerprints are to be added.
• The second biometric identifier, fingerprints, "should not be left to the discretion of Member States". A feasibility study carried out by the Commission on the VIS system recommended that all ten fingerprints should be taken. But because the capacity of currently available contactless chips is small only two fingerprints will be mandatory - the error rate (wrong identification or wrong clearance) on two fingerprints is much much higher than with ten.

• Fingerprints Can Be Stolen.
• Consumers often confuse the concepts of privacy and anonymity; their concerns about biometrics being used to track their movement and behavior is more of an anonymity issue than a biometrics issue.
• In general, biometrics will be deployed in application scenarios that already require people to identify themselves —at the airline counter, in a bank, at a credit card POS, or over the phone to a customer service representative —effectively eliminating the privacy issue. How companies protect identity, personal data, and usage information is an existing social and legal issue that is completely independent of biometrics.
