Sensory has announced the released of a face and voice biometric fusion app called AppLock on the Google Play store.In a statement, the firm said the app combines an intuitive user interface with advanced deep learning face and voice biometric authentication technologies to keep prying eyes out of your personal apps, making it so that you and only you can access them.”Excitement for biometric technologies on mobile devices continues to be a driving force for innovation and adoption in the mobile space. Now more than ever, we are seeing various modalities of biometrics being utilized for securing sensitive bank and credit reporting apps. However, the majority of mainstream apps today fail to protect users from the potential risk of somebody gaining unauthorized access.”We designed our AppLock Face/Voice Recognition app to provide users a seamless option for securing any app installed on their Android devices with our proprietary face and voice biometric technologies. By combining face and voice biometrics we are able to provide users with more than twice the security of single mode biometrics like fingerprint and iris,” said Todd Mozer, CEO of Sensory.Once AppLock Face/Voice Recognition is installed, users are taken through a quick enrollment and setup procedure that takes less than a minute. During enrollment, users are given the choice of three pre-determined voice passphrases or can set their own user-defined passphrase.Then, by simply looking at the camera and repeating the selected voice passphrase three times, the user is enrolled and can then select which apps they want protected, as well as the level of security they prefer for each. AppLock Face/Voice Recognition offers two modes of biometric security; convenience mode which utilizes either face or voice based on whichever biometric is verified first, or TrulySecure mode which requires verification of both face and voice biometrics in order to access an app. In the advanced settings menu, users can further secure their apps by enabling liveness detection, ensuring that a photo of the user wont trigger a false accept.When opening any app protected by AppLock Face/Voice Recognition, a window instantly appears prompting the user to get in sight of the camera, while in parallel the microphone begins listening for the user's voice saying the enrolled passphrase. The user verification process is nearly instant, and once identity is verified the window quickly disappears and the app opens.”Security apps are an interesting category on the Google Play Store. We've found that in order to keep mobile users using a security app long-term, it must possess significant security advantages while not obstructing the user experience. The moment an app becomes inconvenient, it gets deleted. For this reason, we purposefully designed AppLock Face/Voice Recognition to be extremely secure, yet simple to set up, robust in features and discreet in function,” said Dr. Gordon Haupt, Senior Director of Vision Technologies at Sensory.
