Fingerprint biometric identification firm BIO-key International has reported that its OEM and mobility sector saw growth in both the fourth quarter of last year and 2014 as a whole, generating over $500K and nearly $2 million respectively.BIO-key says the growth was enabled by the agreements with InterDigital Corporation (IDCC), Advanced Micro Devices and Trustonic. The company also expanded the capabilities of its NIST-validated Vector Segment Technology algorithm to include full size, small area and swipe sensors.”BIO-key is delivering technology to sensor manufacturers that enables them to offer solutions to meet the wide spectrum of secure authentication options their tier one OEMs require,” said Jim Sullivan, BIO-key's Vice President of Strategy and Business Development.”Rather than placing security, convenience and interoperability at cross purposes, our customers can utilize BIO-key's flexible algorithm suite for everything from small sensor and in-device matching to highly secure, robust matches in the context of a security-sensitive use case”Mike DePasquale, BIO-key Chairman and CEO added: “It is clear that no single company has deployed a commercially viable mobile fingerprint solution that can be considered secure without compromising user experience”.”Through our partnerships, we have developed a true end-to-end platform that provides highly accurate fingerprint matches on any device or in any network or cloud. We are also working to include software to detect 'liveness' reducing 'spoofing' that has affected many popular biometrically enabled devices. OEMs, VARs and platform providers can universally rely on BIO-key products and systems for their unique designs and businesses.”
