BIOMETRYsso secures computer programs against external attacks via biometrical authentication
March 2010 by Marc Jacob
The (Swiss) producer of biometrical authentication software Biometry.com AG announces its newest product. BIOMETRYsso is a new Single-sign-on solution. With this software one can efficiently protect internet applications, password secured data and other applications, which are stored locally or on the server. In place of using a lightly crackable password or fingerprints, the software of Biometry.com AG runs three biometrical verification processes simultaneously, which assure the highest level of security. The right user is verified by his face, his voice and spoken word. No expensive hardware is necessary to use BIOMETRYsso: only a webcam and a microphone (which are included in almost every PC and notebook) are needed. Companies of all sizes and every industry can use this security solution to protect their data which is used in controlling, human resource and marketing departments etc. against external attacks.
BIOMETRYsso can be downloaded under www.biometry.com . After a few minutes of installation the user-friendly software is ready. All passwords that are connected with BIOMETRYsso are listed in a database. If the user wants to open a protected application, he has to repeat the shown numbers on his monitor and look into the webcam. The software verifies the face, the voice and the spoken word: do these three processes match with the templates that were done before, BIOMETRYsso grants access to all password secured applications.
For more security during the whole work time, the software can be set up, that the biometrical face authentication would run automatically in the background. In this case BIOMETRYsso verifies the face in regular intervals, to be sure, that the right user is sitting and working at the computer. If the user is not recognized, e.g. because he turned away from his monitor or left his working place, BIOMETRYsso close all password secured applications. When the user returns, BIOMETRYsso recognizes him automatically and all applications will be opened and visible after a second.
The admin can choose freely, which cryptographical coding he uses for securing the biometrical templates against trespassers. He can also freely choose the storage space of the templates in cache as well as back up files. If a hacker would specifically try to end BIOMETRYsso through the system control, to get the protected templates, all applications will be closed immediately.
