10
The JANUS Biometric Equation:
  • Flexibility + Standards
  • Adheres to Standards:
    • BioAPI
      • A biometric standard used to guarantee longevity
    • Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA)
      • A modular security standard that will keep BIO*GATE up to date with the latest security protocols.
    • Common Biometric Exchange Framework Format (CBEFF)
11
The JANUS Biometric Equation:
  • Flexibility + Standards + Security
  • Multiple Authentication Combinations
    • Password, Fingerprint
    • Iris, Facial Recognition
    • Hand Geometry, Voice
  • Secure At Three Layers
    • Module
    • Machine
    • Domain


12
The JANUS Biometric Equation:
  • Flexibility + Standards + Security = Value
  • Enterprise-Wide
    • Desktop, domain, cross-domain
    • Push-out administration of security rules
    • Centralized and/or decentralized enrollment
  • Policy-Based
    • Control authentication security at central point
