Voice biometrics firm AGNITiO has launched a mobile voice biometrics product that the company says will revolutionize consumer authentication, particularly for connected devices in the Internet of Things.Launched at CES 2015, KIVOX Mobile 5.0 is the first single voice id engine that can perform fixed phrase, free phrase and natural speech authentication to authenticate users in embedded devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), says AGNITiO.”Controlling a variety of smart devices and directing the Internet of Things, speakers may speak freely and be automatically recognized and profiled to unlock devices, control functions, and perform transactions,” said Emilio Martinez, CEO of AGNITiO.AGNITiO says that KIVOX Mobile 5.0 is already available to select partners and will be rolled out widely in the second quarter of 2015.Martinez said the new KIVOX 5.0 version offers text-independent voice biometrics authentication that is nonintrusive and strikes the right balance between consumer privacy, security and convenience.Biometrics experts have noted the potential of the solution.”While voice biometric technology addresses identification, authentication and fraud prevention, KIVOX Mobile Voice iD technology will witness even wider consumer acceptance in the upcoming years with its convenience, ease of use and ability to personalize IoT experiences,” said Alan Goode, managing director of Goode Intelligence.”By 2019, smart mobile identity will be a reality and next generation wearable devices will emerge as universal authenticators. Voice biometrics, in particular, is positioned well to create seamless, continuous, authentication where a device will intuitively know who we are, where we are, what we want to do and can open doors – physical and virtual.”AGNITiO is a founding member of the FIDO Alliance, and existing versions of KIVOX Mobile, already delivers a FIDO Ready on-device secure speaker verification solution.
