Backbone Announces Partnership with Perlustro L.P.
ILookPI to Contain World's Largest Digital Steganography Application Hash Set
FAIRMONT, W.Va., Nov. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Backbone Security, the industry leader in digital steganalysis software, has entered into an agreement with Perlustro L.P. to include hash values of files associated with digital steganography applications in the new ILookPI(TM) toolkit. ILook forensics tools have trusted and court validated 10 year history of use by law enforcement, military, and intelligence agencies around the world, and it is the only analysis tool used by many large government agencies. For the past 6 years, ILook was distributed only by the United States Federal Government, but the new versions of the forensics tools, for the first time, will now be available to the commercial sector.
Hash values from Backbone's Steganography Application Fingerprint Database (SAFDB) based on the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, will be included in ILookPI(TM) to allow digital forensic examiners to detect file artifacts associated with steganography applications on seized computers or other digital storage media. The functionality will be automated in ILookPI to where the investigator does not have to understand all the details of steganalysis in order to achieve inherent value from the tools. Detecting the presence of a steganography application during the forensic examination of seized media is a very strong indication these stealth type applications were used to hide information that may have evidentiary value in an investigation.
Use of anti-forensic tools to conceal or otherwise eliminate evidence of criminal activity is on the increase. Steganography applications are fundamentally anti-forensic tools that conceal information from examiners who use only the standard examination techniques available in most forensic tools. Essentially, the user hides personal or secret digital information in seemingly innocuous digital files on a computer system.
SAFDB is maintained in Backbone's Steganography Analysis and Research Center (SARC) and is widely recognized as the world's largest commercially available database of steganography applications.
When released, ILookPI(TM) will be the most widely used law enforcement digital forensic tool with an integrated capability to detect the presence of steganography applications from any digital or seized media.
For more information about ILookPI(TM), please contact Perlustro at (405) 330-2235 or e-mail inquiries@perlustro.com.
About the SARC
The SARC is a Center of Excellence in advanced steganography research and development established within Backbone Security to create and maintain a national repository of steganography applications, fingerprints, and signatures. The SARC has created the world's largest commercially available hash set exclusive to steganography applications and is the leading provider of world-class forensic tools and techniques for detecting the presence or use of steganography applications and extracting information hidden with those applications.
About Perlustro L.P.
Perlustro L.P. is a privately held computer engineering firm specializing in forensic software development. Perlustro develops the ILook IXimager, the world's leading computer forensics imaging tool in addition to IlookPI, an analysis toolset. This is now accompanied by a new complete line of EDRM E-Discovery tools which blend value with speed to set new standards in the harsh economics of E-Discovery solutions.

Biometric Technologies Inc. Selects SecuGen's Hamster(TM) IV Fingerprint Reader to Reduce Phantom Billing
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 3 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- SecuGen Corporation is pleased to announce that Biometric Technologies, Inc. has integrated the SecuGen Hamster(TM) IV into BIOCLAIM(R), their flagship software product. BIOCLAIM is the only medical billing solution that provides biometric confirmation that a patient was actually present to receive healthcare services.
 BIOCLAIM is a biometric patient authentication claim service that is the first patented program using biometrics to eliminate insurance fraud from phantom billing, which occurs when physicians bill insurance providers for visits by patients who never physically entered an office for treatment. With BIOCLAIM, patients can sign in by having the SecuGen reader scan their fingerprints. Prior to an insurance provider or Medicaid paying the bill, they review biometric proof that a given patient was at a given place at a given time, thus eliminating the capability of a provider to bill for a phantom patient.
BIOCLAIM harnesses SecuGen's advanced fingerprint recognition technology to eliminate fraud in healthcare, Medicaid and insurance claims. "By using SecuGen fingerprint readers, we help health providers get their claims approved more quickly and assist insurance companies and governments to eliminate phantom billing fraud," stated Scott Kimmel, VP of Sales for Biometric Technologies. Kimmel continued, "We selected the Hamster IV because of its ruggedness, accuracy, image quality and certification by the FBI as compliant with the government's FIPS 201/PIV standard that was issued in response to 9/11."
For healthcare providers, BIOCLAIM also provides a means of non-repudiation to biometrically prove that a patient spent a given amount of at the medical office. This helps reduce the chances of having their insurance claims denied or delayed based upon CPT time code constraints.
"We are excited about working with Biometric Technologies," said Jeff Brown, VP of Sales for SecuGen. "Their expertise in medical billing systems is unsurpassed. This deep understanding is reflected in the patents that they hold and is evident in the best-of-breed software that they have developed."
Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen added, "Our strategy has always been to partner with leaders in each market while bringing our expertise in developing state-of-the-art fingerprint recognition technology to bear. This partnership demonstrates the power of that strategy."

Its flagship product, BioClaim(R), documents patient presence at the location where healthcare services are provided.
