October 19, 2005 By

The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) awarded Digimarc Corp. two contracts to strengthen the security of the RMV's driver license issuance process.

The RMV will implement the Digimarc Identity Validation Suite (IDVS), combining facial recognition biometrics and sophisticated identity document authentication, to reduce fraud in the process of applying for driver licenses.

IDVS provides multi-factor authentication of applicants, examining both biometrics and the source documents that the applicant provides as proof of identity. The Digimarc solution will enable Massachusetts RMV offices to scan, authenticate and archive images of documents presented to establish an applicant's identity. In a parallel process, IDVS facial recognition capabilities will examine the applicant's photo against all other photos of registered drivers in Massachusetts to determine whether the applicant may be attempting to obtain a duplicate license using a false claimed identity.
