At these events, demonstrations of BIO-key's biometric identification technology, running on the LG eXpo Smartphone, Apple iPad and Apple iPhone will provide visitors with the ability to experience how remote users can securely, quickly and conveniently establish their identity with BIO-key biometric ID solutions. Additionally, at Oracle OpenWorld, BIO-key will be showcasing its ID Director for Oracle Access Manager identity solutions.
BIO-key's Biometric Identification Platform can be quickly and easily added to deliver strong, biometric identification to establish user identities when they log into enterprise servers from their desktop computer, their laptop at home, and now even remotely- from mobile devices including Smartphones! Users simply swipe a finger to establish their identity with this more secure and convenient alternative to passwords and tokens (which are easily forgotten, shared or compromised).
BIO-key is a charter Member of the Oracle Identity Assurance Partner Alliance. With ID Director for Oracle Access Manager, any new or existing application running on an Oracle Identity Management platform requires only the touch of a finger to establish a person's identity. This valuable addition to Oracle's Identity Management Suite leverages the superior security and convenience of biometrics while eliminating the costs and headaches associated with replacing tokens or resetting passwords. It can be easily added to the front end of an Oracle Enterprise Single Sign On (ESSO) system to establish the identity of personnel. Oracle's partners and customers alike can easily implement BIO-key's biometric identification to secure applications protected by Oracle Identity Management Platforms including user access to Single Sign On (SSO), as well as web and application identity management provisioning applications.
