SCMM | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- SCM Microsystems, a German developer of security and identity solutions, and BioID, a Switzerland-based developer of multimodal biometric authentication solutions, have entered into a strategic partnership to create biometric enabled access solutions, beginning with the joint development of biometric authentication solutions for IT security.

According to SCM Microsystems, in the first phase of the relationship, the two companies will develop a solution suiting for SCM's @MAXX Secure Storage token family, adding an extra layer of security with BioID's face, iris and voice recognition technology.

The resulting product will protect user data such as internet and application passwords, payment card PINs and private keys for data encryption and digital signatures, while providing stronger user authentication requiring using a password or PIN, the @MAXX token and the user face, iris and/or voice, the company said.

SCM's expertise in smart card reader technology and other authentication hardware, combined with BioID's state-of-the-art face, iris and voice recognition technology will enable strong, reliable, and convenient user authentication for enterprise, government and consumer applications, added SCM Microsystems.

Felix Marx, CEO of SCM Microsystems, said: "This cooperation will enable us to expand our offerings with multi-factor biometric authentication solutions, both in our target physical and logical access markets as well as to newer markets where strong user authentication is required."

Ho Chang, CEO of BioID, said: "Our personal recognition software and SCM's expertise in smart chip readers and tokens create strong synergies, allowing us to offer customers in these markets secure and convenient security solutions. We look forward to a fruitful long-term collaboration."
