eNBioScan-F is Certified by the FBI for Use in Homeland Security Applications

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Fulcrum Biometrics, a trusted
provider and global distributor of biometric identification technologies,
today announced the availability of a new PIV-certified single finger scanner
by Nitgen. The eNBioScan-F fingerprint scanner, available from Fulcrum
Biometrics, is one of only a handful of fingerprint scanners worldwide that
have met the FBI's stringent image quality specifications as outlined for the
United States government's Personal Identity Verification program (PIV).
The PIV certification, also known as FIPS 201, was developed by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to satisfy Homeland
Security requirements for the authentication of all Federal employees and
contractors who have access to high security facilities.
"The PIV certification from the FBI assures our customers that the Nitgen
eNBioScan-F meets some of the strictest standards for image quality and
reliability across a full range of environments and applications," said Ken
Nosker, President of Fulcrum Biometrics. "We are pleased to offer the
eNBioScan-F and other scanners from Nitgen because they consistently
demonstrate high quality at some of the lowest price points on the market."
The Nitgen eNBioScan-F scanner offers a wide, 1.2 inch fingerprint input
screen to acquire fingerprint information with a high degree of detail and
accuracy. The new design significantly reduces the number of errors that tend
to occur with smaller screens and provides an excellent recognition rate even
when fingers are damp or wet. The eNBioScan-F is available with a USB 2.0
connection, drivers for Windows(R) operating systems and comes with demo
software in the included CDROM.
Because of its excellent price/performance ratio, the eNBioScan-F is
suitable for both small and large-scale projects, from basic time and
attendance systems to security-critical applications such as immigration and
passport control.
The Nitgen eNBioScan-F is competitively priced and available immediately
through the Fulcrum Biometrics online catalog at
