Why Biometrics?

Nowadays it is undeniable that financial institutions in the United States need to come up with mechanisms to authenticate customers accessing their electronic financial services in a more reliable and secure way. BioSecureAccess is Idhasoft's state-of-the-art response to that need.

BioSecureAccess provides biometric verification of identity using fingerprint identification technology, which the FFIEC considers in its October 2005 report among the most mature and accurate biometric methods of identification.

Consumers prefer Biometrics if they have to use any special or external device for authentication (Gartner, May 2005), and the hardware required is increasingly more affordable and expected to be soon pervasive in consumer's laptops, PDA, mobile phones, etc.

BioSecureAccess Features

It is undeniable that the pervasiveness of web access have brought great convenience and cost efficiencies for both customers and providers of banking and financial services. Nevertheless, there are still big challenges to meet in terms of ensuring the security of those services.

IDHASOFT has carefully integrated biometric hardware and software and leveraged its expertise in the development of web-based banking products to offer a solution that allows multi-factor authentication to web applications, easily integrating with existing infrastructure.
