EZ-Scan: A Major Innovation in Digital Identification Technology


FRESNO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/08/06 -- EZ-FACE, the FacePrint
Global Solutions (FGS) (OTC BB: FCPG) 3D-facial composite software,
currently in its final development phase, features an
Internet-generated program that allows police-issued mug shots of
criminals to be produced into quality composites. This is all part of
EZ-Scan, a software engine that can create a 3D image from a 2D photo
-- whether it's a mug shot or a photo from a convenience store
surveillance camera.


As a test, investigators with a Canadian police department -- who
asked not to be identified because their investigation was ongoing --
recently requested that FGS create 3D images from a series of photos
of suspects taken from a store surveillance camera. FGS was able to
produce a series of images, using EZ-FACE's EZ-Scan technology.


EZ-Scan generates an E-DNA code from a two-dimensional picture of a
photographed face. Not only can a face be created with remarkable ease
and speed, but it is automatically converted into unique
alphanumerical segmented codes. Just as every new composite is an
original creation, every E-DNA is unique.


EZ-Scan will allow providers of credit, ATM and medical insurance
cards, as well as passports and drivers' licenses to create a
composite picture and a unique ID code from a digitized picture. The
E-DNA will be encrypted and put on the magnetic band of the card,
thereby generating a composite picture with each use of the card and
before any transaction is allowed or authorized.


The EZ-Scan concept represents a major innovation in digital
identification technology, based on facial recognition. EZ-Scan
provides a solution to problems involved in the storage, cataloging,
and transmission of large amounts of facial information (e.g.,
typically in the form of graphics data as in mug shots). The
information that is saved, cataloged and transmitted is in the form of
E-DNA codes, thus drastically reducing the amount of memory needed for
storage and the amount of time required to transmit the data. EZ-Scan
organizes facial information into a format that is readily available
and easily accessed by users of established networks.


E-DNA codes can then be stored in a database to serve as the basis for
making future matches with encrypted E-DNA codes already appearing on
any identification card (passports, drivers' licenses, etc.). The
generated E-DNA codes will be used to compare and match E-DNA codes to
an established (centralized) database of E-DNA codes of criminal
suspects, mug shots, or composite pictures originally generated by
EZ-FACE. This could include "most wanted" suspects by the FBI,
Immigration and Naturalization Services, law enforcement agencies and
the United States military.


The overreaching goal of these endeavors is to create a highly
accurate and reliable technology of facial imagery that can be easily
accessed and readily shared among the users of the technology, with
minimal hardware requirements. The application of standardized methods
in further development of the technology seeks to ensure compatibility
among users of the software.


About FacePrint Global Solutions, Inc.: FGS marshals the considerable
talent and experience of its high-tech team of professionals towards
the creation of imaginative technology solutions to address the
critical needs in facial recognition related to identity verification,
crime-prevention and worldwide efforts against terrorism. FGS is
developing a new methodology and industry standard called the "E-DNA
Bioprint Coding System"(TM), for the transmission of data related to
individual faces. Grounded in biometrics, FGS's solutions encompass a
unique composite-picture driven facial recognition system, as
presently demanded by both the private and public sectors. FGS's goal
is to become a major provider of technologies, applications and
products for identity authentication and validation. FGS is
headquartered in Fresno, California. (www.faceprint.tv).
