iProov – Making the online world a safer place with robust biometric face authentication and identity verification technology

With technology infiltrating every aspect of modern living and our world becoming increasingly digitized, protecting confidential information becomes all the more difficult. Passwords and keys were once considered sufficient to provide data security but now they look increasingly feeble in the face of sophisticated hacker attacks. In fact, passwords are the weakest link in an organization’s security system. This is because they are shareable and even those with strong entropy can be cracked by a variety of methods. The recent reports of network security breaches and identity thefts further affirm the fact that a strong authentication method is the need of today’s time. This has put the focus on biometric security as it is the only effective way to prove an individual’s identity. Biometric traits are inherent and unique to each individual and comprise physical and behavioral characteristics such as fingerprints, face, iris, gait, voice etc. Therefore biometric security systems can verify an individual’s identity with utmost accuracy and reliability since biometric traits are part of the individual’s being.
