WALL, N.J., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BIO-key International Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: BKYI), a leader in finger-based biometric identification
and wireless public safety solutions announced today that the company is
showcasing its fingerprint biometrics products at the 2005 RSA Conference, the
most prestigious information security event of the year, from Feb 15th through
17th in the Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco. BIO-key will provide
hands-on product demonstrations of its state-of-the-art identification
technology in booth 103.
BIO-key will feature WEB-key, a cost effective, easy to deploy,
fingerprint based strong authentication system. This unique solution allows
users to positively identify themselves into any application with the simple
scan of their finger. When used in conjunction with a token, BIO-key's
fingerprint authentication replaces less secure, usernames, passwords or PINs,
providing a simple way for users to add True User Identification(TM) to any
critical transaction. This capability is a significant improvement in both
convenience and security over other alternatives and provides companies with
the tools needed to thwart phishing attacks and comply with government
regulations and legislation such as HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, and the Electronic
Signatures Act.
The convenience that BIO-key's technology offers will be displayed in a
wide range of demonstrations, where with the simple registration of a person's
fingerprint, that person can be positively identified, illustrating that no
matter when or where someone registers, they can be identified without
providing additional information such as a name, badge ID, or other personal
information.
In addition to the WEB-key product, BIO-key has developed an advanced
fingerprint-indexing tool which uses a fingerprint as the primary identifier
of a unique record in the database. "We are proud to have developed the
worlds most accurate and scalable fingerprint indexing technology and we are
seeing strong demand for our solutions, with a wide range of partners and
customers deploying our systems." said Ken Souza, CTO of BIO-key
International. WEB-key can be easily integrated to replace or augment
existing authentication schemes for virtually any stand alone or network based
applications including mobile and wireless access. BIO-key technology is
currently deployed in the financial services, healthcare, education and
government markets.
