Computer Logon Authentication
Most organizations need to secure access to their network
and applications. Passwords can be easily guessed or
stolen, since users can create trivial passwords
or write them on notes, or use the same password for
many different applications.
 Password-based authentication remains the weakest link
in the security chain and a burden for end users and
IT support staff. Fingerprint authentication produces
measurable financial benefits and a rapid return-on-investment
by removing the need for users to remember and use passwords.
Studies have shown that maintaining passwords in companies
costs $150 per user, per year in support and downtime.
With biometrics businesses don't have to worry about
resetting passwords or fielding calls for lost or forgotten
passwords. The results are clear: increased security,
increased employee uptime and reduced help desk and
support costs.
Our logon products use fingerprint templates (not images),
which means that the fingerprints are never stored and
cannot be recreated from what is recorded. Further,
the architecture supports the encryption and isolation
of user templates from any other individually identifiable
data.
Our main products for logon authentication are-
