Nevada-based multimodal biometric authentication provider BioID has announced that its webcam-based biometric recognition product can now be used for authentication to Intel’s Cloud SSO and McAfee’s Cloud Identity Manager products.
BioID uses “live detection” facial recognition to identify and authenticate a user who is logging into the Intel SSO portal. Likewise, it verifies the user again whenever launching sensitive applications, or if a session will time out. By using a camera for this process, the system can detect if an attacker is trying to go around the authentication process by using a photo.
BioID will be displaying this product at the European Identity Conference Expo held on April 17-19 in Munich.
