"Our iris recognition algorithms and enabling technologies continue to power the largest and most complex identity-related applications around the world," said Robert LaPenta, Chairman, President and CEO of L-1 Identity Solutions. "In developed and developing countries, L-1 technology is doing more than acting as a protective measure, it is an enabler. A biometric-based system provides a simple and universal method of granting access to government-issued goods and services, much of which is critical for everyday survival, particularly for those that live below the poverty line."
