TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — (Marketwired) — 09/22/14 — SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) — Speaking today from SmartMetric–s electronic engineering center in Tel Aviv, Israel the company President & CEO Chaya Hendrick said the company has achieved a sub one second fingerprint scan with its miniature fingerprint scanner embedded inside an EMV chip credit/debit card. This has been achieved using a Cortex processor that has reduced power consumption and therefore gives the cards battery an extended power charge life while providing a measurable increase in computational and scanning speed. Practically this means a card user standing on the street wanting to use his/her card at an ATM or inside a store at the checkout can touch the cards surface fingerprint sensor and in the time it takes to insert into the card reader the cards EMV chip is activated following a successful fingerprint match that takes place inside the card. Of course if the card doesn–t belong to the user it won–t work. “In our opinion this is the most secure credit card technology yet developed and a giant leap in card security and will provide potentially millions if not billions in card fraud protection,” said the company President Chaya Hendrick.
SmartMetric uses silicon components that are re-engineered by its engineers to make them thinner than what is standard from silicon manufacturers. The company has had years in research and development to achieve a fully functional computer circuit board that is less than half the thickness of a credit card. The miniature computer has its own power management system developed by SmartMetric that allows for recharging the cards internal battery when the card is inserted into a card reader. To have a fully functional computer that uses the same processor used in today–s smartphones and tablets with a thickness half the size of a credit card is an accomplishment that could be used to make future consumer electronic devices substantialy thinner than today–s clumsily thick devices. Our know how and expertise used to develop our biometric card has the ability to revolutionise many consumer electronic devices said Chaya Hendrick at the company–s offices in Israel.
Last week the company gave a presentation of its technology in New York at the National Investment Bankers Association (NIBA) conference. This was a follow up from a presentation at an earlier conference after which the Chairman of NIBA and partner of Hanoverelite Mr. Jim Hock was appointed as a consultant to the company in order to represent SmartMetric to Investment Bankers on Wall Street. SmartMetric has also appointed a specialist technology investment banking firm, Oberon Securities that is now presenting SmartMetric to investing institutions and funds in New York. SmartMetric is doing an institutional round of funding to fund mass production of its electronic biometric cards that will then be manufactured in large scale with a major contract manufacturer in Asia.
