Why Biometrics?

Traditional security approaches do not actually identify the user. They only validate something the user knows or has in their possession. Only by using biometrics can you really verify the identity of a person.

Think of biometrics as your own personal password that cannot be forgotten, lost or stolen. You no longer need to remember complex passwords, answer password reset questions, or carry a smartcard. Password resets can be eliminated. Retyping complex temporary passwords is a thing of the past.

When looking for a biometric security solution, the minimum metrics should really include multi-modal biometrics, anonymous biometric storage, and cloud-based matching.

Performance is another critical capability. You really want a biometric system that is ultra-scalable, dependable, provides end-to-end service, and is easily integrated into all your existing applications and business processes. Fujitsu BIOaaS™ provides all of this and more.

Multi-Modal Biometrics: Users can choose to use one or more biometric modalities, such as face, voice, eye, palm print, fingerprints, etc., to authenticate themselves.

Anonymous Biometric Storage: User’s biometric data is stored separately from their personal information (name, address, birth date, etc.).

Cloud-Based Matching: BIOaaS™ sends encrypted, anonymous biometric data via a secure communication channel to the cloud for anonymous matching, further strengthening security.

Why Fujitsu BIOaaS™

Fujitsu’s BIOaaS™ solution provides fast, real-time biometric identity authentication in the cloud with massive scalability and unparalleled security. Biometric identity authentication is provided in seconds even when hundreds of millions of identity requests occur simultaneously. The biometric data is stored in a proprietary anonymous binary format. So even in the extremely unlikely event that if the data is somehow compromised from the secure cloud data centre, the data is unusable and not associated with any individual – so it doesn’t provide any value to would-be thieves.

BIOaaS™ provides a secure, scalable, flexible and versatile mobile and cloud service for multi-modal biometric identity authentication.

The BIOaaS™ mobile app is highly versatile to support any business scenario, environmental situation, use case, application, and system. The BIOaaS™ mobile app is a turnkey solution that can be implemented without any programming.

The BIOaaS™ mobile app is also White Label ready and can be easily re-skinned to fit your company brand via simple configuration and without any programming. The layout and functionality of the BIOaaS™ app screens can also be configured using HTML5 or other webpage standards. If desired for a completely customised solution or for embedding, BIOaaS™ can be integrated into your existing mobile application. An open SDK is available for Android and iOS devices.

BIOaaS™ provides a secure, scalable, flexible and versatile mobile and cloud service for multi-modal biometric identity authentication.
