Imageware Authenticate Overview
Imageware Authenticate is a mobile biometric authentication service or application to verify a user's identity through their Android or iOS mobile device prior to gaining access to secured physical or digital sites or processing transactions. Users enroll their face, voice, palm, or other biometrics and then use those biometrics much like a password.#
Imageware Authenticate works with GMI secure server application layer and biometric storage service, delivering fast, accurate identity verification to protect:
- Banking verification
- Website access
- Point-of-sale and other financial transactions Ø Healthcare record authorization
- Mobile payments
- Survey requests
- Promotional marketing opportunities
- Password resets
- And more...
Imageware Authenticate was built with security and ease-of-use in mind. We incorporate anonymous, multi-modal, multi-factor biometric security on-the-go and off-device to ensure that sensitive information is secure, even in cases of device theft.
