IBM Corporation

With the celebration this year of its 100 year anniversary, the IBM Corporation has the opportunity to not only look back on a century of distinguished scientific and technological contributions to our world, but to celebrate an impressive portfolio of ongoing work that will take the company and its customers into the next century. Among those capabilities are the strong offerings that IBM represents in Biometrics and Identity Management technologies.

IBM Research has developed numerous technologies that can help verify people’s identities for access control, traveler screening and other security applications. As the world leader in the creation of new technology patents for the last 19 years, IBM has strong programs in biometrics related research and technology development. IBM systems can standardize access management across platforms for users, devices, applications and business processes, as well as physical security points such as biometric, smart-card and badge readers. To aid in those activities, IBM developed InfoSphere Identity Insight - a real-time scalable entity resolution and analysis tool with pioneering identity and relationship disambiguation.
