BIO-Key Biometric Identification Now Incorporated Into Evidian Enterprise Single Sign-On Solution

BIO-key International, Inc., a leader in finger-based biometric identification solutions, recently announced that Evidian has integrated BIO-key's biometric software into its Enterprise Single Sign-on (SSO) solution. Additionally Evidian has successfully deployed this biometric identification solution at two major pharmaceutical companies. Evidian, A Bull Group Company, is the European leader and one of the major worldwide vendors of identity and access management (IAM) software. With Evidian's Enterprise SSO equipped with BIO-key's identification software, a user logs in once with the touch of a finger to establish identity. This single authentication method allows the user to gain access to his or her applications, eliminating the need to remember passwords or carry ID tokens which can be easily lost, forgotten or stolen.

Evidian has successfully installed this biometric identification solution at two global pharmaceutical companies who collectively have approximately 15,000 users of the BIO-key identification solution. "In addition to its exceptional speed and accuracy, one of the unique features BIO-key provides and that our customers demand is reader interoperability. Our customers have a variety of laptops, tablets and desktop computers with fingerprint readers from many different manufacturers. BIO-key's ability to work with most major fingerprint readers indiscriminately is a great capability that we can now offer all our customers," said Hassan Maad, Evidian Chief Operating Officer.

"We look forward to building on this relationship. Evidian's Enterprise SSO solution is the fruit of over fifteen years experience in identity and access management," said Mike DePasquale, BIO-keys president and CEO. "More than 2 million users worldwide access their applications every day with Evidian's solution, and now with BIO-key's biometric authentication software available, they have the option of a particularly convenient and secure way to log into their applications."

BIO-key's fingerprint biometrics offers Evidian SSO users a strong authentication alternative while reducing the operating costs associated with managing passwords and tokens. Users prefer replacing passwords with BIO-key biometric ID to avoid the headaches of remembering passwords. Gone are the days of the embarrassing phone calls to the help desk because of a forgotten password or lost token, which frequently seem to occur when an important deadline is fast approaching.
