Princeton Identity has announced the North American launch of EyeAllow, a compact user authentication edge device that supports modalities within a single unit.
According to the company, these include iris and face biometrics, RFID cards, high-frequency smartcards, mobile credentials, biometrics-on cards and PIN codes.
Designed for use with Princeton Identity’s Identity Server and Iris On the Move product suite, the EyeAllow brings security, speed to access control, time and attendance, point-of-sale applications.
By combining modalities for multifactor authentication, the unit provides a simple-to-deploy solution that complies with even the most stringent security requirements.
The company’s patented iris identification algorithm can differentiate between millions of users and is currently used in installations both domestically and throughout the Middle East, including passenger screening at Dubai International Airport.
Convenience for the end user is provided by Princeton Identity’s advanced iris recognition algorithm, which allows for identification of individuals wearing masks, glasses, sunglasses and other protective gear, while a built-in proximity sensor provides for hands-free operation, the company says.
It has capacity to store up to 6000 user profiles locally with at-rest data encryption to support continued authentication keeps the system operational even in the event of a network outage.
“EyeAllow represents a significant addition to our lineup of edge devices designed to work with our company’s Identity Server and Iris On the Move platform,” said Bobby Varma, Princeton Identity CEO and Co-Founder.
“EyeAllow’s flexibility and affordability make it an obvious choice for customers who, until now, may have assumed biometric identity solutions were warranted only in the most demanding, high-security environments.
“EyeAllow’s biometric and multifactor authentication makes it ideal for such settings, but this product will also be welcomed by customers who prioritize convenience and flexibility.
“No other single device offers so many ways for users to engage with identification technology.”
