Biometric Signature ID announces the company was featured in CR80 News and DigitalID News as “University uses behavioral biometrics for online IDs”

Dallas, Texas, – May 23, 2010, Jeff Maynard CEO of Biometric Signature ID (“BSI”) is pleased to announce that the company was the featured story titled “University uses behavioral biometrics for online IDs”. The company’s pilot completed at The University of Maryland University College was the university highlighted in this article. In this pilot first time users reported that 97% would recommend BioSig-ID be used for identity verification and 93% found it to be “Extremely or Very Convenient”.

“We offer a multi layer approach that offers handwriting/gesture biometrics, image pattern recognition and online electronic signatures that deliver “Best in Class” features. Our solutions are all delivered online and require no additional hardware. The ideal identity proofing strategy is to identify the physical user and only a biometric can do this. Other biometrics require costly hardware and the use of questions or other strategies do not go far enough to authenticate identity of the physical user” said Maynard.

With the BSI system, identity authentication is performed using a dynamic biometric (BioSig-ID Online™) that captures the way the user handwrites/draws their secret code with their mouse. The user is asked to enroll in the system and creates a profile that is used to compare their signature using random, periodic, challenges. The student also enrolls in BSI’s second layer of identity proofing – Click-ID Online™ an image pattern recognition technology. The integrated solution offers a unique closed loop that allows the user the ability to perform an automatic password re-set and avoid costly help desk calls.

About Biometric Signature ID

A Dallas based software company, BSI provides solutions to reduce identity fraud through its’ patented BioSig-ID Online™ biometric handwriting and gesture technologies. Activation is from any mouse, stylus or touchpad on any PC anywhere, anytime. BioSig-ID captures HOW you write/draw including your speed, direction, angle and length which are unique to each individual. Users enroll one time to create a profile (stored in a secure database) and thereafter validate their identity in seconds.

The way you draw or write with a mouse cannot be lost, stolen or borrowed – a major concern with PINS, passwords and tokens. When a password or token is stolen or shared with a colleague, the system cannot know who the actual physical user is and the integrity of the system breaks down. BioSig-ID stops identity fraud by restricting access to only registered users who verify themselves against their stored biometric profile.
