Frequently asked questions

BIO-key fingerprint scanners and FIDO security keys are compatible with a wide range of systems, including:

  • Windows and macOS operating systems
  • PortalGuard and other IAM platforms
  • FIDO2/WebAuthn-compliant applications
  • Thin clients, kiosks, and shared workstations
  • Remote desktop and VPN environments via RADIUS or custom integrations

This broad compatibility makes BIO-key hardware ideal for enterprise, healthcare, government, and education environments.

BIO-key’s FIDO security keys use public key cryptography to authenticate users without transmitting passwords or shared secrets. Each key generates a unique cryptographic signature that is verified by the service provider, making it:

  • Phishing-resistant
  • Immune to credential replay attacks
  • Secure against man-in-the-middle threats

Because the private key never leaves the device, attackers cannot intercept or reuse credentials.

BIO-key hardware is built to meet rigorous security and compliance standards, including:

  • HIPAA (for healthcare data protection)
  • CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services)
  • FIPS 201/PIV (Federal Information Processing Standards for government use)
  • GDPR and CCPA (for data privacy and protection)
  • CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)
  • NIST 800-171 (Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information)

These certifications ensure that BIO-key devices are suitable for regulated industries and high-security environments.

BIO-key fingerprint scanners are optimized for multi-user environments. They support:

  • Fast biometric switching between users
  • Role-based access control
  • Secure biometric enrollment and matching
  • Integration with desktop login systems like PortalGuard

This makes them ideal for shared workstations in hospitals, call centers, and public service desks where quick, secure user transitions are essential.
