Biometrics

Person authentication based on biometric traits in handwriting is a compelling alternative for techniques using static biological features, e.g. iris scan, fingerprint or face recognition. Although, like any biometric pattern, the biometrics of handwriting is inherently prone to considerable statistical variability, there is a high potential for scientific and commercial applications due to the extensive information embedded in the kinematics and dynamics of handwritten signatures, figures or text.
Our BiSP becomes in combination with a newly developed software for signal processing, feature extraction, data compression, database management and fast matching algorithms, an innovative system for widespread use in biometric person verification and identification applications.
An innovative application seen for our BiSP device is the biometrical protection of the USB memory stick. The pen based technique is a compelling alternative for fingerprint to secure an USB stick. We expect a major market due to the booming USB memory stick, the increasing demand of its data security, the high user acceptance as for writing and the enorrmous popularity of widely used ball pens.


Applications

  • Access control or security in business-, legal-, and private sectors for territories, devices and services.
  • Generation and storage of biometric data from trained behavioral and congenital physical features.
  • Input of digital biometric signature, PSW, PIN for e-commerce, e-documentation and e-datamanagement.
  • Biometric personalization in rooms, devices and services.
  • Biometric data encryption.

Relevant Innovations

  • Data security of USB memory sticks.
  • Desktop personalization of working environment and feasibilities.
  • Two-factor authentication based on both PIN/PSW and writer recognition.
