HYPR: Biometric Authentication Adds Additional Value to Blockchain Solutions

hypr_logo_header_2016HYPR, founded in 2014, is focused on two important technologies that may change the way we do business. The aggregation combines biometric aegis with blockchain technology innovations. The close believes both biometric authentication, additional broadcast balance frameworks, are added able and secure.

Biometrics sometimes refers to “realistic authentication”, acceptance animal characteristics. For instance, instead of application a password to accretion admission to a defended area, the identifier verifies duke geometry, fingerprints, iris recognition, odor/scent, and abounding physiological characteristics acceptance to individuals.

HYPR says its belvedere is multimodal and supports “fingerprint, face, voice, palm, and eye recognition.” The aggregation says blockchain technology is revolutionary. However, it presents new aegis and account challenges.

Through a affiliation with BitGo, HYPR brings biometric interoperable aegis protocols to the equation.

CEO George Avetisov believes biometric aegis will enhance blockchain architectonics as able-bodied as added forms of activated affidavit practices, saying:

The Popularity of Biometric Security & Identity Services

The acceptance of character solutions has spurred organizations such as the UN to focus its efforts on accouterment acknowledged identity, and bearing registration.

Alongside this, startups such as BitID, Civic, and others are affective in the aforementioned direction. HYPR will accredit Fortune 500 enterprises to calibration biometric affidavit creating password-less acquaintance with animal characteristics that are difficult to forge.

HYPR explains the contempo allotment is in band with “keeping with the accelerated advance appearance of the biometric aegis industry.” The startup accustomed the $3 actor in adventure basic from RTP Ventures, Mesh Ventures, and Boldstart Ventures.

The close says two billion bodies common now backpack a biometric device. Fingerprint sensors are beneath defended unless they are appropriately implemented with public key architecture.

HYPR says they accommodate a accessible key admeasurement as able-bodied as facial recognition anchored in a biometric cloud. Furthermore, those who appetite best levels of aegis users should attending into the HYPR-secure eye acceptance platform.

Biometric Data and Public Key Cryptography Is Vital to the Framework for a Password-less Internet  

HYPR explained its belvedere is for both companies and alone users to advantage biometric solutions, in adverse to passwords heavily acclimated today. It allows the user accord of apperception instead of annoying about apathy login credentials and accumulated entities autumn advice that can be hacked. The belvedere tokenizes biometric abstracts with avant-garde accessible key cryptography and could anytime alter the way we accredit our agenda lives.

Technology is growing fast and HYPR wants to be an basic allotment of the agenda revolution. The aggregation believes it is on the appropriate aisle to annoyance character artifice and abetment of online activities. BitGo’s Jonathan Silverman, Director of Strategic Initiatives, has explained in the accomplished that “Biometric affidavit is key to creating a approaching after passwords.”
