BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading global provider of biometrics software products and solutions, today introduced Knomi™, a mobile biometric authentication framework. It offers biometric SDKs that work in concert on a mobile device and server to enable password-free multifactor authentication. Several biometric modality options are currently available, including face recognition, voice recognition, and an innovative fusion of keystroke dynamics and face recognition applied simultaneously. Aware's biometric algorithms deliver top-tier accuracy and speed performance, and are complemented by multiple proprietary liveness detection techniques that use both passive and interactive methods to prevent several different types of spoof attacks. Voice recognition is the latest modality supported in Aware's Nexa™ family of biometric matching SDKs, joining fingerprint, face, and iris.
Knomi components can be selected a la carte to implement either a server-centric architecture—with centralized matching and template storage—or a FIDO® Certified solution, with secure storage and matching on the mobile device. Each SDK includes user interfaces that ensure fast and easy biometric capture and liveness detection for a positive user experience.
Knomi can be used by any organization that wants to make login through their mobile apps more convenient for their customers and employees. Banks all over the world are using their mobile apps to make their services more accessible, thanks in part to secure password-free login from virtually any mobile device.
"Knomi enables an extraordinary degree of flexibility for CISOs and users alike, with a variety of biometric modalities and architectures supported," commented David Benini, VP of Marketing & Product at Aware. "With its rigorous liveness detection mechanisms and innovative fusion of multiple factors, Knomi makes password-free authentication possible from just about any device or network without sacrificing security for convenience."
More information about the Knomi mobile biometric authentication framework is available on the product's webpage. Aware will demonstrate Knomi in the FIDO Alliance pavilion at Money 2020, taking place next week in Las Vegas.
