BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aware, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading global provider of biometrics software
products and solutions, today introduced Knomi™, a mobile biometric
authentication framework. It offers biometric SDKs that work in
concert on a mobile device and server to enable password-free
multifactor authentication. Several biometric modality options are
currently available, including face recognition, voice recognition,
and an innovative fusion of keystroke dynamics and face recognition
applied simultaneously. Aware's biometric algorithms deliver
top-tier accuracy and speed performance, and are complemented by
multiple proprietary liveness detection techniques that use both
passive and interactive methods to prevent several different types
of spoof attacks. Voice recognition is the latest modality
supported in Aware's Nexa™ family of biometric matching SDKs,
joining fingerprint, face, and iris.
Knomi components can be selected a la carte to implement either
a server-centric architecture—with centralized matching and
template storage—or a FIDO® Certified solution, with secure storage
and matching on the mobile device. Each SDK includes user
interfaces that ensure fast and easy biometric capture and liveness
detection for a positive user experience.
Knomi can be used by any organization that wants to make login
through their mobile apps more convenient for their customers and
employees. Banks all over the world are using their mobile apps to
make their services more accessible, thanks in part to secure
password-free login from virtually any mobile device.
"Knomi enables an extraordinary degree of flexibility for CISOs
and users alike, with a variety of biometric modalities and
architectures supported," commented David
Benini, VP of Marketing & Product at Aware. "With its
rigorous liveness detection mechanisms and innovative fusion of
multiple factors, Knomi makes password-free authentication possible
from just about any device or network without sacrificing security
for convenience."
More information about the Knomi mobile biometric authentication
framework is available on the product's webpage. Aware will
demonstrate Knomi in the FIDO Alliance pavilion at Money 2020,
taking place next week in Las
Vegas.
