Digimarc to Testify at House Subcommittee on Border, Maritime, and Global Counterterrorism Hearing

Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC): What: Digimarc Vice President of Public Policy Tom Gann will testify tomorrow at the House Subcommittee on Border, Maritime, and Global Counterterrorism Hearing on Frequent Traveler Programs, appearing as an industry expert on ID security. Mr. Gann will present the positive results from the U.S. Department of Transportation digital watermarking pilot in the State of Nebraska and demonstrate how proven digital watermarking-based solutions can be implemented as a cost-effective means of authenticating driver licenses presented as proof of identity at U.S. borders. Incorporated today in more than 50 million circulating driver licenses, digital watermarking is a machine-readable security feature that enables reliable cross-jurisdictional authentication of U.S. driver licenses. Imperceptible to the human eye, digital watermarking takes the guesswork out of inspecting a driver license using commonly available scanners and special software. Digimarc anticipates that, by the end of the year, 1 in every 2 issued driver licenses will include digital watermarks.
