The EncryptaKey solution plays a key role in protecting sensitive information related to delivering government services. The Homeland Security Presidential Directive HPSD-12 of 2004 calls for the establishment of a mandatory, government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification. The directive goes on to define "secure and reliable forms of identification" as, among others, a device which is strongly resistant to identity fraud, tampering, counterfeiting, and terrorist exploitation and can be rapidly authenticated electronically. EncryptaKey is perfectly tailored to meet these objectives and offers a broad range of functionality related to government services where security is essential.

TSA and airport security
Because airline security is such a high priority, the EncryptaKey device is perfectly suited to guarantee the identity of not only passengers but of airport and airline employees as well. When used in conjunction with existing security measures, the EncryptaKey device can be used as an access control device for both the boarding of passengers onto aircraft and allowing airport employees access into sensitive areas.

Passport authentication and verification
With ever-increasing amounts of traffic at US borders and with new rules in effect for Canada and Mexico, border security has become an increasingly important issue. The EncryptaKey solution will prove to be an important component in ensuring the authenticity of persons crossing the border.

Identity verification for electronic voting
Although in its nascent stages, electronic voting will continue to evolve and become much more commonplace. One of the primary arguments put forth by opponents to electronic voting is the potential for fraud. With EncryptaKey, fraud issues are significantly minimized and the one-person, one-vote rule can be strictly enforced. Not only that, but using the EncryptaKey solution opens the door to a whole new paradigm of voting including voting over the World Wide Web via the EncryptaKey highly secure network.

Access to Social Security records
With an ever increasing number of Baby Boomers set to retire and come onto the Social Security rolls, the government is not only looking at ways to protect against fraud but also to make Social Security accounts more accessible. The EncryptaKey solution offers a solution that accommodates both of these concerns. Using the EncryptaKey device ensures identity verification and the secure nature of the portal is the perfect vehicle to allow individuals access to their highly personal Social Security records.
