Turn Your Smartphone into a Biometric Scanning Machine

How to turn your phone into a biometric scanning machine? Wouldn’t that be great if you could do it in a snap and use all the advantage of your unique biometric features to validate you on different occasions? Although we know that smartphones companies such as Apple, Samsung or LG do not allow any third party app to draw data from the biometric scanners in their smartphone, there is a way. And it is quite simple and super comfortable.

How do you turn your phone into a biometric scanning machine? You merely use facial recognition. Every smartphone has a high-resolution camera that takes the most exquisite pictures. This camera in the back or front can be easily applied to capture the facial data of a person, and that can be used to validate the identity of that person. Your phone will require a well-built application that will be able to capture and draw the facial data from the visual taken from that camera. With the app collecting the biometric data and sending it to CloudABIS™, scalable and super-fast biometric matching engine, it is just a child’s play to turn your phone into a biometric scanning machine. CloudABIS™ then will perform matching with its database and return the match to the app itself authenticating the person. Read more…

Biometric Authentication to Stop Money Laundering in Pakistan

Recently The State Bank of Pakistan has mandated all of its banks to start verifying all of their account holders using biometric technology. The goal of this exercise is to stop money laundering in Pakistan. In the past; opening a bank account only requires the account holder’s details in printed/written form along with their id cards. However, after this current announcement, to open a bank account in Pakistan, one has to provide biometric data using an e-registration system. This procedure is also applicable for those who have registered before without biometric verification process. Many private banks throughout the globe have already deployed biometric identification solution to reduce fraud at their banks. Biometric technology help banks to know their customers better and revolutionize their KYC process. After implementing the biometric solution from M2SYS for customer identification in the microcredit loan process, this helped Grupo Monge (Costa Rican Capital Corpor...

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning: The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...

Enterprises to Adopt Biometric Middleware Solutions in Next 10 Years

According to a recent report by FactMR, the biometric middleware solution market is likely to see more demand in the coming years. This kind of solution facilitates enterprises to rapidly deploy biometrics solutions without any development hassles within a very affordable budget and the demand is rising dramatically. What is Biometric Middleware? Biometric middleware is a ready software solution that facilitates biometric identification (1:N) or authentication (1:1) functions for desktop or web applications with the help of a biometric scanner and a biometric matching engine. When using biometric middleware, it’s just a matter of hours to deploy a full-fledged biometric system. Some middleware solutions, like Hybrid Biometric Platform by M2SYS, even comes with support for multiple biometric modalities like the fingerprint, finger vein, iris, and facial recognition. Market Scenario Research conducted by Fact.MR disclosed their report on the market size of biometric middlewa...
