Acuant Acquires Mount Airey Group’s Suite of Ozone Identity Solutions

Acuant, a leading provider of data capture and authentication solutions, announced that it has acquired Ozone, a line of identity products, intellectual property (IP) and talent, from the Mount Airey Group, a provider of identity solutions used by federal organizations and agencies around the world.

Ozon  allows developers to PK-enable their applications without the need to understand the mechanics of public key infrastructure. It supports enterprise-scale identity and access management solutions, including ePassport analysis, ICAO public key directory (PKD), and atomic authorization capabilities incorporated within cloud and mobility solutions. ePassports add a layer of security to traditional non‑electronic passports by embedding an electronic chip in them.

“The addition of Ozone into our expanding line of identity solutions strengthens our chip and PKI offering to provide industry leading security,” said Yossi Zekri, CEO of Acuant. “These expanded capabilities will have a significant impact on both government and commercial markets relative to identity verification and authentication trends.”
