Geocate & GNT Technologies Provide Increased Accuracy for Fraud
Control Systems
TWAIN HARTE, Calif., Feb. 3 - 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 user's location.
Together, GNT and Geocate provide businesses accepting online 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 online gamers,
identify people downloading copyrighted music, directly combat
phishing and much more," expounded Nandhra. "The
applications for our Geocation technologies are endless."
Geocation has widespread applications for e-commerce, advertising,
phishing detection, online gaming and much more. To obtain additional
