Biometric Signature ID Releases New Gesture Biometrics White Paper

DALLAS - Jan. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Biometric Signature ID ("BSI") announces today that it has released “Gesture Biometrics – A Game Changer for Remote Identity Authentication” white paper. Fast approaching 2M uses in 2 years, used in 60 countries, awarded New Product Innovation of the Year and chosen by the White House to provide identity verification online, Biometric Signature ID’s innovative technology is quickly becoming the market leader in the field of online identity protection.

As technology continues to advance, there is a growing fear regarding users’ privacy and security, especially as it becomes more commonplace to remotely access a digital asset such as a bank account, e-commerce site, healthcare portal or even social media sites.  Even when trusted institutions like Target have a breech, confidence is lost, thus causing many consumers to switch to another institution or merchant. These data breeches can quickly lead to identity theft and fraud, sometimes within mere hours.  “BioSig-ID™ is a game changer,” states Jeff Maynard, CEO and Founder of Biometric Signature ID. “Its biometric technology offers a new twist – no hardware is required and it can be activated on any device using just your finger, mouse or stylus. The BioSig-ID™ technology ensures the person who registered for the online account is the same person who is trying to access that account remotely and only then allows access.”

A user name and password easily permits access so anyone can log in on behalf of another. What is needed is to verify the physical person - not just someone who has gained knowledge of a PIN or password, can successfully answer security questions or is in possession of a stolen credit card or document. “The user experience is the key for the consumer,” says Maynard.  “They have to trust and accept a solution that is accurate and easy to use. Gesture biometrics provides an answer to the problem. With independent testing reporting 99.97% accuracy and first time users confirming a 98% positive user experience, the technology is on its way to becoming a market leader for remote identity authentication.”
