The International Authentication Association (IAA) is the industry body for suppliers and users of authentication technologies, systems and services. It is a not for profit membership organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and effective use of authenticating technologies and processes to the end user community and the public sector, regardless of product classification.
The IAA will educate, influence and direct actions that are beneficial to authentication providers and authentication product users alike. The IAA is not a marketing or sales organization. Simply stated, the members of the IAA are companies dedicated to reducing counterfeits globally through education, awareness and collaboration.
