I-3 CEO receives patent for ‘National Access Control Center’

Ideal Innovations, Inc. (I-3) a developer of rapid secure access systems, announced on Tuesday that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), has issued a patent to its CEO, Bob Kocher, for the creation of the company’s National Access Control Center (NACC) concept.

According to a statement, the patent could have a significant impact on security protocols by centralizing biometric access control to military bases, buildings, and programs in a cloud-based environment.

"The NACC concept will pave the way for more efficient, secure and accurate identification and authorization operations," Kocher said in the statement. "We believe a centralized organization such as the NACC avoids massive duplication of visitor request authorization and will provide interagency authorizations based on each organization's protocols. The NACC could make seeking access extremely simpler by providing one contact point for seeking access to any base, facility, building, or program. The NACC will use newly developed verification algorithms along with the latest biometrics identification technologies to verify the security information of each employee. Billions of dollars are currently being spent in manpower modeling old technology. Billions of dollars can be saved, and a user-friendly, simplified system can be more efficient. Quite simply, it's a game-changer."
