CHANTILLY, Virginia, March 1, 2010-- Oberthur Technologies, a global leader in the delivery of high
security solutions and the #1 provider of smart credentials to the U.S.
Federal government, announced today that Network Products Guide, industry's
leading information technology research and advisory guide, has named
ID-One PIV BIO a winner of the 2010 Product Innovation Awards. This
annually venerated award recognizes and honors vendors, large and small, from
all over the world with innovative and ground-breaking products that are
bringing essential and incremental changes and are setting the bar higher for
others in all areas of information technology.
"Innovation is not just about new products alone," says Rake
Narang, editor-in-chief at Network Products Guide. "To succeed companies need
to see innovation not as a one time errand but as something that has to be
continuously evolved and improved upon over and over again. It requires
putting greater focus on customer needs and making innovation the center of
company's way of developing better solutions. Innovative products such as PIV
BIO are bringing improvements in smart card technology by providing enhanced
functionality and security features in one card."

security access card solution. The PIV BIO solution provides identity
proofing, card authentication, digital signature, fingerprint on-card
comparison, encryption and secure post issuance management. The card meets
FIPS 201 requirements and includes a fingerprint on-card comparison that has
