I don’t know about you, but turning over my credit card to access three more numbers doesn’t strike me as a particularly robust security measure. After all, anyone having access to my credit card can be “me” for many Internet transactions. Thankfully, I’m financially protected when someone uses my credit cards fraudulently. But, we aren’t similarly protected when someone fraudulently uses – or steals - our medical information. That’s why three numbers or a robust password using numbers and letters is not sufficient. If someone represents himself as me and uses medical services, the results could be life threatening!That’s why our SHAPE Card™ using biometric match-on-card identity verification (the fingerprint is only on the card, not in a database) is so timely and so necessary. As we move more and more medical information electronically it becomes even more important to affirmatively identify and authenticate the person represented by that information. The SHAPE Card coupled with the biometric match-on-card authentication ensures that I am … “me.” SHAPE – Secure information at the tip of your finger.
