ClassifEye technology guards camera phone identity

Permalink: ClassifEye technology guards camera phone identity by Jan Harris

ClassifEye has developed fingerprint authentication technology which is compatible with most camera phones, to prevent identity theft.

The solution does not require any additional hardware such as fingerprint sensors, USB keys and code generators, making it cost-effective and easy to deploy.

A camera phone user simply downloads the ClassifEye software directly to the device.

The user then takes a picture of his finger with the phone’s camera. The software authenticates the user’s fingerprint and authorises immediate access to the phone.

The process takes less than a minute and eliminates the need to remember a password. It is also significantly more secure than a password.

The technology will improve the security of mobile phones for making financial transactions over the Internet.

ClassifEye ensures that the fingerprint authentication is carried out in real-time, and not via a stored image or hacked authorisation.

The company expects advancements in mobile phone technology to create an expanding market for fingerprint authentication technology, as more people start to use advanced devices for payments rather than credit cards.
