The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 dramatically changed the attitudes of governments and private enterprises towards establishing a person's positive identity using high security applications. Issues of identity confirmation once required to be addressed only in highly sensitive areas are now given much more consideration in all scenarios involving identification.

Civil administrative projects involving national security in many parts of the world have been accelerated; proper and secure identification is viewed as critical to national defense against terrorist attacks. Several national ID and border control projects, such as US VISIT, requiring biometrics to identify citizens and control entry of foreign visitors have already progressed towards contract procurement.

Increased public awareness about the need for more pervasive security protocols is one of the biggest drivers of the biometrics industry as a whole. However, several key factors serve to hinder rapid adoption of biometric technology: rapid identification and verification of subjects, data interchange and interoperability, as well as citizen's concerns with privacy, accuracy and data integrity. Liska's software solution addresses ALL of these concerns.
