BIO-key is a recognized pioneer in mobile biometric applications, providing convenient, strong authentication for mobile application access for two of the largest telecom companies in the US. We now fulfill the promise of mobile cloud-based biometric authentication by launching WEB-key Mobile ™, one of the world’s first mobile biometric platforms. WEB-key Mobile puts the power of the same award-winning web- and cloud-based fingerprint authentication already trusted by BIO-key’s marquee customers and OEMs at the fingertips of mobile device users.
In both consumer and enterprise applications, the explosion in demand for mobile access to sensitive data has created a dilemma for security-conscious IT staffs and online application providers. Typical strong authentication approaches introduce too much friction into what is expected to be fast access to actionable information. As a result, many application users resist strong authentication, or use weak passwords, if any, to protect these applications. IT Security finds itself cast in an obstructionist role by executive users, who want access using their iPads, iPhones and Android devices. Mobile payment authorization will make this problem grow by orders of magnitude. Fortunately, there is a low-cost solution: WEB-key Mobile biometric authentication makes strong authentication as simple as swiping a finger on either an integrated fingerprint scanner or a low-profile add-on scanner for the iPhone and iPad, making secure authentication nearly frictionless for end users.
BIO-key offers mobile device users the ability to log into all of their enterprise applications and mobile apps, or authorize mobile payments in seconds using just a swipe of their finger. There is nothing for others to overhear, observe, or steal, and nothing for the user to forget or share.
