Biometric AD-offering opens BioLink product line

BioLink announces the new software product line to safeguard access to corporate resources via biometric identification of users – BioLink IDenium. The product line is based on server-client applications suitable for corporate networks of various configurations.

The first product is BioLink IDenium for Active Directory (AD), the only biometric solution for AD supporting the 1-to-many identification mode, i.e. not requiring other parameters for identification. It allows users registered in one domain getting biometrically identified with their unique fingerprints while accessing

the shared network resources in the other domain. It is characterized by all benefits of the entire product line, such as reliability, security, functionality, performance, efficiency, economic feasibility and ease of installation and maintenance.

BioLink IDenium for AD provides the following advantages: reliable identity verification in multiple domains, secured access to shared PCs, as well as robustness and scalability. BioLink IDenium for AD is beneficial for reducing the user administration burden thanks to self-enrollment of biometric identifiers by IDenium users.

The core of the system is the biometric server storing the fingerprint database and performing the biometric matching procedures. The key utility provides biometric identification by a fingerprint when logging on to the operating system. Another one replaces passwords with fingerprint identification while accessing the protected files and applications. The synchronization agent is responsible for synchronizing data between AD and BioLink IDenium for AD. The admin pack is designed to enroll new users and their fingerprints centrally on the administrator workstation.

Piotr Pertsov, BioLink’s director of business development, says: “This offering turns over a new leaf in BioLink’s software product line. Taking full advantage of the enterprise-class directory services and management capabilities of the Active Directory enables the users of BioLink IDenium for AD to considerably extend the use of biometrics on their desktops. It can also be a part of the integrated corporate security system, encompassing BioLink’s physical access control and time management components.”
