Biometric authentication with the smartphone is state of the art. Every common Android and iOs device now has a biometric sensor with which fingerprint or face can be used as a "password".
Protect apps from abuse and integrate them into systems
It is only logical that the apps installed on mobile phones (would) receive a significantly increased security and user-friendliness through the integration of biometric authentication. Should third-party abuse be made more difficult or an app integrated into your larger existing system?
With BioShare, this is also possible for your app – but much more! The pure connection of apps to the biometric sensors in the smartphone is not a huge work of witches (anymore), some banking apps already fall back on this possibility. Thanks to BioShare’s software development KITs, all of this is much better and safer!
Central user management and logging of abuse attempts
Because how often someone has tried to authenticate unsuccessfully (or successfully) for the app is not logged centrally without BioShare – the information is lost. A security risk that does not have to be. With BioShare, all authentication attempts are logged – possible abuse attempts can be detected earlier.
In addition, the connection of the app to BioShare provides a central user management: You can delete users there at any time and they can no longer successfully verify themselves for the apps in the future. This simplifies the overview and increases security, for example when passing on the smartphone to new employees.
Part of large workflows
BioShare also enables the use of the smartphone sensor as part of a multi-factor authentication – dual security. Another advantage: The smartphone can be integrated into larger biometric systems with Bioshare as an additional biometric sensor. The employee must authenticate in the system, but is currently away from the stationary sensor? Thanks to BioShare, the smartphone out of the pocket is integrated into the "big picture" and can help out as a sensor.
