Secure Document Tracking
Now more than ever, security and credentialing are paramount to government and industry. Credentials are best authenticated by applying several layers of protection. BTI offers solutions that range from individual patented technologies that can augment existing credentials to advanced integrated solutions using sophisticated biometric means to confirm identity.
Credentialing
Most security solutions rely on access to a central database. BTI offers technologies that allow in-the-field identity verification without dependence on connectivity to a central system. Two examples of specific BTI technologies are Real-Face and Photo-in-Bar Code.
The Real-Face platform allows a human face to be encoded into roughly 55 characters of data. This enables the individual ID to be transported in a small bar code, as part of a magnetic strip, encapsulated in a smart-chip, or communicated as part of an electronic transaction. The software to decode the portrait can fit on a handheld device.
BTI's technology can extend to securing documents via BTI's inFusion eForms platform, to ensure the document can be associated with a person's identity. Scanning the document's bar code would create a synthetic facial image of the rightful owner. [top]
Process Acceleration
inFusion eForms also help government agencies deliver collaborative solutions to accelerate and extend the reach of public sector business processes, especially those involving electronic forms and documents. As the finalist of IBM Lotus Award for Best Government Solution, solutions based on the inFusion eForms platform have demonstrated results and return on investment in forms and workflow automation and document print audit and tracking.
BTI makes forms-driven organizational processes auditable, less error prone, more efficient, and non-dependent on paper and manual routing including purchase requisitions, time-keeping, personnel actions, travel authorizations, financial disclosure forms, periodic security clearance updates, and leave requests.

Policy Compliance
An automated, forms-driven workflow allows agencies to satisfy eGov mandates including the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) of 1999, the eGovernment Act of 2001, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) of 2000, and the Clinger-Cohen Act (CCA) of 1996, as well as Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
inFusion eForms provides easy to use electronic forms and workflow, thereby reducing paper and manual labor, streamlining collaborative processes, improving agency productivity and enhancing service delivery and customer experiences for all citizens. [top]
Secure Document Tracking & Audit
BTI developed the solution to enable a networked printer, which is made only available to authenticated clients, to add a 2D bar code on any printed document. The bar code can embed configurable audit information such as user name, date, time, location of the print job, and other covert data to deliver track and trace, audit, and identity verification applications.
Document Tracking can integrate with BTI partners' authentication technologies, including printed covert and visual deterrent and advanced hidden image verification, to further reduce the risk of fraud, counterfeiting, and identity theft.
Document Tracking can specify the size of the 2D bar code and the location to be printed. The location and contents of the bar code will be configurable at a printer share level. The nature of this solution would require a Unix like system, either a Linux or BSD based server using CUPS. Alternatively, any POSIX environment that can act as a server for an LPR print spool which supports filters would also work. [top]
