ImageWare Systems is betting that businesses want better authentication — particularly for remote access from smartphones, tablets and laptops.
GoVerifyID is an end-to-end mobile biometric user authentication Software as a Service. It allows an organization to easily and inexpensively add face, voice, and fingerprint authentication into any existing security process.
It’s so easy, you can authenticate with biometrics anywhere. You become the password.
ImageWare Systems a San Diego based company has introduced a technology platform that allows users to meld biometrics into the traditional user name/password process for signing into a corporate network.
Instead of just logging into your system with a password, the new platform, called GoVerifyID, would prompt users to also take a selfie or speak a predetermined phrase into their smartphone microphone, or both.
Whenever you attempt to access a secured account, site, or transaction, GoVerifyID sends a request for new biometrics and compares those against your enrollment. Enrollment and verification take place in real-time, providing confirmation within seconds through ImageWare’s unique two-way push messaging.
To use GoVerifyID, you must be a registered user with one of ImageWare’s customers, who use GoVerifyID to protect your personal data, such as your bank, credit card company, doctor’s office, or workplace.
The information is sent to ImageWare’s biometric database, which is specifically built for high-speed matching of biometric data. The cloud-based system lets customers run their own facial recognition or voice recognition algorithms quickly, said Miller.
ImageWare charges a monthly subscription to customers, reducing the cost of using biometrics. As smartphones add more sensors, the company’s database is capable of handling fingerprint data, retina scans and other biometric information, Miller said.
