From <\/span><\/i>Viavansi<\/span><\/i>, we are very pleased to announce that it is a year since we started our participation in MOMENTuM, a multibiometric project \u00a0for security on mobile devices that is being developed in collaboration with other leading companies in the sector.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For those who are not completely familiar with the term, multibiometry is the \u00a0identification of the person through different biometric data, ie using different physical parameters that are unique in each person.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Biometrics as an identification method \u00a0is settling more every day, in fact, a very clear example are the sensors that the latest mobile devices have to unlock the phone with the fingerprint of the owner.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Likewise, voice recognition and even iris are forms of identification through biometric data that gradually gain ground to traditional passwords. For example, in many international airports, such as Stansted or Heathrow, face recognition is used to identify travelers entering the country as long as they have a Digital Passport.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Biometrics, especially for sectors where a high degree of security is required such as banks and financial and health institutions, offers many advantages, not only by increasing usability – you do not need to remember passwords, nor have the digital certificate installed in your device or carry the certificate on any cryptographic card to operate.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As <\/span>Julian Fierrez<\/span> explains, in his article \u201c<\/span>Banks have much to gain from biometrics<\/span>\u201c, the correct implementation of biometric systems for the authentication of their customers, could mean greater efficiency by saving time and costs on paper. Likewise, it allows the development of more powerful systems against fraud and facilitates the one that can be operated from a distance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is in this scenario that MOMENTuM is created, a multibiometry project for security in mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

MOMENTuM: Multibiometric for security in mobile devices<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The global objective of MOMENTuM is to provide a safe and usable access mechanism to services for electronic signature and other online services in mobility scenarios: it was born thanks to the collaboration of Viavansi with two other leading companies in the sector, SEIDOR CONSULTING and AYCOS Internet , to which is added the Tecnol\u00f3xico Center of Telecomunications of Galicia, GRADIANT.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the project are identified in two lines of work:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
