Insyndia adds Passfaces cognometric technology to heighten authentication security
Oak Hill, VA (PRWEB) August 15, 2012
Security professionals, always scrutinizing technology and tools, heard an interesting presentation at the recent Black Hat 2012 security conference, when a presentation revealed that iris scanners could be spoofed: see: http://www.blackhat.com/usa/speakers/Javier-Galbally.html.
Black Hat attendee and CEO & Managing Partner of Insyndia Global, John Haggard stated that, “When any of the authentication process mechanics are either physical or are susceptible to manipulation, there will be vulnerabilities that will be exploited.”
Haggard added that these were some of the factors in Insyndia’s decision to offer Passfaces™ as a trusted strong authentication mechanism in our suite of solutions. "We’ve done our homework and have found that Passfaces is far superior to complex passwords because its more intuitive, easily integrated into existing systems and functions bidirectionally by verifying the user to the site and the site to the user.”
Jon Shaw CEO of Passfaces, added that, “Authentication technologies are getting stretched as they increasingly become the critical link in computer security with the advent of cloud computing, mobile devices and wireless. It’s not enough to just work in the lab or in a controlled environment, developers, security professionals and users must see it all: absolute assurance, and ease of use and access with a common experience across all their computing platforms. Passfaces does just that.”
Cognometric A method of personal authentication based on measuring an innate cognitive ability of the human from Latin cognoscere, to recognize + Greek metro, measure.
