Biometric Authentication: strong & convenient

ID-ME is an Identity Processing Facility utilizing biometry to measure a biological, (anatomical and physiological) characteristic of a person for automated matching and verification. Only biometrics can prove the user’s presence, since it is based on unique user traits that cannot be lost, stolen, guessed or shared. The IPF verifies the identity of a person through the biometric system attempts to confirm an individual’s claimed identity by comparing a submitted sample to one or more previously enrolled templates.

How it works: template & encrypt

Biometrics are typically collected using a device called a sensor. These sensors are used to acquire the data needed for recognition and to convert the data to a digital form. The quality of the sensor used has a significant impact on the recognition results. Currently fingerprint scanners are used to acquire an individual’s distinct characteristics within a fingerprint. A fingerprint is made up of a pattern of ridges and furrows as well as characteristics that occur at minutiae points (ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending). Fingerprint scanning essentially provides an identification of a person based on the acquisition and recognition (or verification) of those unique patterns and ridges in a fingerprint.

Enrollment: scan, register & authenticate

The user’s fingerprints are scanned and associated with that user’s identity in the system. This is normally a supervised process to allow for preventing false identity creation and propagation. In an enterprise scenario, enrollment would be done at the time a person becomes employed and only needs to be done once. A biometric template is created from biometric features derived from the scanned fingerprint. The enrollment template becomes the fingerprint biometric record for the user. In some solutions, the fingerprint scan itself may also be stored.Template creation and storage A biometric template is created from biometric features derived from the scanned fingerprint.

Web, Cloud or Mobile: ease of use & integration

The ID-ME SaaS portal demonstrates the flexibilty and ease of integration to use biometric authentication next to the installed authentication method as username/password, token, smartcards en pin codes. The client-side makes use of a ID-ME plug-in and a certified fingerprint scanner connected to the client device. The server-side is the ID-ME Authentication Server with an customer defined interface to the customers Verification server to enable access to applications and systems.
