Strategy
The Company
A Software Development Company with special expertise in
Biometrics, PKI, Encryption and Network Architecture.
Principal technology (fully developed) is a proprietary, server based
package using biometrics and PKI to:
¾ replace passwords, PINs, etc.
¾ dramatically increase security
¾ centralise and facilitate IT security management, and
¾ significantly reduce costs
The Market
¾ Biometrics is a technology whose time has come
¾ there is huge demand for increased security
¾ it has universal application in both physical access control
and IT security
¾ there are solutions for small to large-scale enterprises
¾ it will be a much needed engine for IT spending
¾ there are many estimates of market size – all huge
Biometrics
“Face, finger, iris, voice, signature recognition”
Biometrics will replace passwords/pins because:
¾ Substantial cost savings.
¾ Passwords are easily lost, stolen or
otherwise compromised.
¾ It is not possible to tell whether a password
is being used by the authorised person.
¾ Speed and convenience of user.
Only Biometrics can verify the identity of a person.
Evolution of Biometrics Industry
Initially:
¾ HARDWARE DRIVEN COMPANIES
e.g. FINGER SENSOR + algorithms
Standalone Products
- limited sales achieved
- 80 % + still in this stage
¾ FACE ENGINES
- fascinating technology but practical limitations
- no meaningful deployment
- too much emphasis on identifying a face in a crowd
Future of Biometrics Industry
Next phase:
¾ COMBINATION/OTHER BIOMETRICS PHASE
- face and finger companies have merged
- many have disappeared
- Alternatives have developed -iris, signature, voice
- Technology improving but limitations remain
¾ Most technology remains as POINT SOLUTIONS (not
networkable, standalone solutions)
IdentAlink`s Reality
Future:
¾ ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS – Essential!!
- Products must be networkable
- Companies lacking this capability will disappear
- BIOPASSPORT ENTERPRISE SERVER Exists now - uniquely!
