Press Release Summary: BioLink announces the use of its fingerprint biometrics for
the State of Hawaii's Driver License Program. The upgrade of the driver license
system reinforces the 'one driver - one license' principle, designed to increase
driver license security.

Press Release Body: Incorporating biometrics into driver licenses was recently
mandated in the "Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards
Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes" issued by the Department of
Homeland Security. A biometrically-enhanced driver license system aids in addressing
the following key problems: (i) issuance of multiple licenses to a single driver;
(ii) issuance of a single license to multiple drivers, and (iii) detection of
counterfeited driver licenses.

The Hawaii driver license system integrates both fingerprint matching and facial
recognition technologies into the card issuance process, increasing the already
stringent security measures currently in place. A driver requiring a duplicate or
renewal license now must have previous finger and/or facial images validated before
a new card is issued.

For the Hawaii project, BioLink supplied its optical fingerprint scanners, ensuring
a high quality of fingerprint capture. In addition, BioLink SDK, a development kit,
was used to make the most of BioLink's proprietary fingerprint matching algorithms
complying with most industry standards, namely: ICAO (reqs for machine readable
travel documents), ISO/IEC (biometric data interchange formats), ANSI/NIST (data
format for the interchange of fingerprint and facial information), ANSI/INCITS (data
interchange formats), WSQ (FBI's image compression specification) and BioAPI
(biometric data format), thus ensuring an interoperable data exchange with other
systems. In this project BioLink was honored to collaborate with Marquis ID Systems
and Trijay Corporation.

"The continued integration of advanced security technologies into the driver license
program demonstrates Hawaii's commitment to its residents and their safety and
security," said Mark Steigmeyer, President of Marquis ID Systems. "We are proud to
provide our state-of-the-art driver license issuance solutions to customers such as
Hawaii, giving them the tools necessary to secure their DL programs from start to
finish."

Piotr Pertsov, BioLink's Director of Business Development, says: "With the rapid
influx of biometrics, we are required to follow demanding market trends. This is
another driver's license project supplemented with BioLink biometrics, and we are
sure it will bring overwhelming success making the licensing procedures secure and
effortless. In this project, we are proud to partner with Marquis ID Systems and
Trijay Corporation, global leaders in identity solutions and services."
