Press ReleaseIdentity Theft Prevention System Completes Primary System Certification ProcessBIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 3, 2005 -- Mantissa Corporation has completed primary system certification for iDovos(TM), a consumer service that prevents identity theft by providing flexible personal control of identity use by the individual. IDovos takes a completely different approach to solving the problems associated with identity theft. Current systems permit individuals to obtain periodic credit reports or be advised when new credit is obtained in their name. Such systems cannot actually prevent initial identity theft. iDovos, in addition to being able to prevent identity theft and misuse, is capable of delivering immediate notification for all transactions and other identity account activity.Individuals establish iDovos accounts and set limits on identity use through a web browser, PDA, or telephone. Credit and debit transaction authorization processors and credit reporting agencies receive identity state information from iDovos prior to processing a transaction. They use that state information to determine the limits imposed by the identity owner. When the owner has prohibited identity use, transactions are prohibited. Identity use criteria may be added, removed, or changed at any time. iDovos protection is not limited to credit or debit transactions. "New credit" applications, brokerage accounts, passports and drivers licenses are examples of other identity assets that may be protected. Validation of software components, middle tier component integration and initial database transaction tuning were central goals of the primary system certification process. Because iDovos must be capable of applying millions of identity state changes within seconds, I/O bandwidth and the ability of the database engine to support parallel operations have been key considerations in database and operating systems software selection. The next stage of certification, beginning October 17th, 2005, will focus on integration of system components used to relay identity state changes to state users. Availability of the service, initially scheduled for first quarter, 2006, is still on target for that delivery time frame. Mantissa, with over 25 years experience in datacenter management software development, has offices in Birmingham, Alabama and Luton, UK. Affiliates are located in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, South Africa and Norway. Mantissa is now selecting business partners and subscriber agents for iDovos(TM). Contact: Gary M.
