Biometric Applications

Following September 11th the pace of development of Biometrics applications has accelerated considerably, at present most are still very high end applications, with government, defense and airport security being major customers. However there are some arenas in which biometric applications are moving towards commercial application.

Network / PC Login Security

Biometric Logon for PC and Networks is now well developed with a number of players in the market. Best of these in our view is the Identix technology which is integrated into Windows 2000 Active Directory and provides rapid verification at logon. The second player in this market is the Digital Persona UareU system which is slightly behind the Identix system in its development but still provides a robust and affordable solution.

Web Page Security

For the most effective security for web pages, the Bio Web Server system is the leading market player. Integrated with a number of hardware options including Digital Persona, which we at EyeNetWatch reckon is the most reliable the system is easy to install and to integrate with web applications. This system has provided security for the admin system for Global Real Estate for the last 3 years.

Employee Recognition

There are many employee recognition systems available but Biometrics provides a cheaper alternative to most, very few people lose their fingers or eyes when compared with those who lose smartcards or forget passwords.

Time and Attendance Systems

Time and attendance has always been a problem in some industries. Biometrics can effectively eliminate problems with buddy clocking by ensuring that the employee in question is present.

Voting Solutions

The management of voters to ensure no one votes twice has been a notoriously difficult application, however recent developments in the technology have allowed governments to adopt a high degree of security to prevent such a problem. Click here to read a case study using Eyenetwatch technology.
