Keyware Technologies, Woburn, Mass., is partnering with Interstrat, Netherlands, to embed its biometric technology into smart cards that will be used by 15 nightclubs in the Netherlands. The smart cards will be used to identify patrons who have previously created problems in the nightclubs. Patrons of each nightclub will receive a biometric membership card. The club-goers will go through a short enrollment process to put their face and finger bio prints onto the membership card. Each time a patron attends a club, his or her physical characteristics will automatically be verified against the bio print information on the smart card. When a person is found to have caused trouble, nightclub management will not allow access.
