Secure Application Switching
There is a growing requirement to simplify the complexity of securely accessing multiple systems from the same workstation. For example, traders in the financial
sector need to trade between multiple types of commodities and these are often running on separate systems. Currently traders have to log on to different
systems using ID and passwords for each system or using a Single Sign-On system where all systems are open after the single sign-on.
SAS from Applied Biometrics Ltd provides a biometric solution which removes the need for the user to remember multiple passwords and provides faster application access. SAS can be incorporated into existing systems by the addition of a biometric keyboard or biometric mouse.
The SAS enrolment programme enables users to registers different fingers or a BiometricPIN™ against each application. SAS then enables users to navigate
between applications quickly and securely by using the relevant fingers or BiometricPIN™ for the application.
In this way the system provides the ability for users to be able to quickly and conveniently switch from one application to another. The security is enhanced as each request is securely validated and the user of the application, or the creator of the transaction, is precisely audited.
SAS results in faster, more secure access to applications and data. It is of interest to systems integrators and computer security companies engaged in government and defence projects and to the financial, transportation, transactional services and wireless solutions sectors.
