Applications

IBG designs, builds, and integrates custom solutions for diverse biometric applications such as IT/Network Security, e-Commerce, Identification Systems, Access Control, and Smart Cards. Specific skills and experience are required for different biometric applications - in many cases the biometric solution is a small part of the overall technology challenge. Requirements for accuracy, ease of use, response time, legacy integration, security, and privacy differ widely across these applications. IBG's vendor-independent and technology-neutral approach allows us to incorporate best-of-breed solutions, and to develop standards-based infrastructures and platforms to meet specific client needs. 

Identification Systems
Biometrics are increasingly integrated into large-scale systems for drivers' licensing, surveillance, health and identity cards, and benefits issuance. The need for singular identification and transactional verification has emerged in various public and private sector environments. Learn More

IT/Network Security
As more and more valuable information is made accessible to employees via LAN and WAN, the risks associated with unauthorized access to sensitive data grow larger. Protecting your network with passwords is problematic, as passwords are easily compromised, lost, or inappropriately shared. Learn More

e-Commerce and Internet
Biometrics are being positioned as a solution for e-Commerce and Internet security, designed to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive data or execute transactions. From the perspective of commercial or government institutions, however, building effective e-Commerce and Internet solutions is more complicated than replacing a password dialog with a biometric interface.

Access Control
Biometrics have proven to be an effective solution for high-security access control, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access protected or secure areas. However, there is more to deploying biometrics than replacing or complementing existing proximity or swipe systems. Biometric systems require controlled and accurate enrollment processes, careful monitoring of security settings to ensure that the risk of unauthorized entry is low, and well-designed interfaces to ensure rapid acquisition and matching.

Smart Cards
Biometrics are an authentication technology; smart cards can be a storage, processing, and/or authentication technology. In certain applications, the two technologies compete, such that an institution may deploy smart cards instead of biometrics for access control, or vice versa. Increasingly, the two technologies are deployed in conjunction, strengthening each other's capabilities. Learn More
