Imageware Authenticate is a software solution that enables anyone to use the unique characteristics of their body, such as voice, iris, face, or palm to gain access to applications data, a building, a bank account, etc. It eliminates the need for passwords and allows a user to access mission critical data more efficiently by using one or multiple biometric features. With Imageware Authenticate, first responders can leverage: Scanning of multiple biometrics (voice, finger, palm, face, etc.) from their mobile device Unique biometrics matching in the Cloud, which enables biometric authentication across multiple devices so a user registers their biometrics only once Seamless integration into existing applications through OIDC (OpenID Connect) and SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language). A prime use case for first responders is a firefighter who logs into their station and uses their voice to sign in with a mobile device with FirstNet services. During an emergency response situation, this capability allows the firefighter to swiftly log in, despite carrying heavy gear and equipment, which will save time and save lives.
