Press ReleaseFINDbase(TM) Announces Powerful New Solution For Online Identity AuthenticationGeocate & GNT Technologies Provide Increased Accuracy For Fraud Control SystemsTWAIN HARTE, Calif., Feb. 3, 2005 -- FINDbase(TM), a California-based technology development company, today announced the launch of Geocation(TM), the most advanced solution available to authenticate the geographic location of Internet users. Geocation is the action of using two FINDbase technologies, Geocate and GNT, to detect the physical location of an Internet user in real time. The combination of these radically different techniques is the only solution that overcomes major shortcomings of other widely used geolocation programs such as triangulation and IP mapping."Providing accurate information regarding the physical location of Internet users is critical in fraud control systems," said Ian Nandhra, President of FINDbase LLC. "Utilizing Geocate and GNT together during an online transaction is the most reliable way to find out if a website visitor really is who they claim to be." Geocate is the world's first non-IP mapping, non time-to-distance network location technology. IP addresses are unique numeric identifiers for each computer or device on a network. The increasing number of IP address combinations in use has grown too large for current or imminent technologies to map to a physical location. Unlike other geolocation technologies, the Geocation applications do not map IP addresses, but track, learn and predict a user's future networking activities with an adaptive Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine. GNT is an adaptive triangulation technique (ATT), which detects time-to-distance information both TO and FROM the end user. Similar to global positioning systems (GPS), GNT uses this time latency information to determine the probability of a users location. Together, GNT and Geocate provide businesses accepting on-line credit card payments with the highest degree of confidence in where an Internet user is located. Knowing where the account is being accessed is an essential part of profiling the user's login behavior that in turn can be used to identify potential security violations. "Knowing who and where a website viewer is located means you can personalize marketing messages, locate spammers, track on-line gamers, identify people downloading copyrighted music, directly combat phishing and much more," expounded Nandhra. "The applications for our Geocation technologies are endless." Geocation has wide spread applications for e-commerce, advertising, phishing detection, on-line gaming and much more.
