Industry Use Cases and VSS Flash Demonstrations:

The following are links to specific industry use cases and Flash demonstrations of the Voice Signature Service^SM:

Leading organizations in industries such as financial services and health care are seeking to benefit from the first-mover competitive advantage of offering security and convenience to their customers, while saving costs and increasing customer acquisition and retention. Others such as electric utilities and various governmental entities are focusing on security of infrastructure assets such as the national power grid and transportation facilities. Development and construction firms and similar businesses are seeking improved security in managing field operations. And users of secure SaaS applications across all industries are looking for ways to ensure that only authorized persons are able to log in, view and use those applications.

All of these organizations use authentication measures designed to limit access to data and services to authorized individuals. Traditional authentication approaches include user ID and password combinations, or use of digital certificates that individuals load on computers and that generate security codes.

Yet none of these traditional authentication technologies tie a specific individual to an access attempt or a transaction, since they authenticate the device but not the individual.

First movers are now moving to another technology for authentication – one that can be implemented quickly and maintained at much lower cost, and that provides a better customer experience. This technology does not require the individual to load anything on a computer, or carry any token-type device or other piece of hardware with them. This technology also affords better protection than do certificates, tokens or other approaches, in that it cannot be defeated by a hacker who has stolen a user’s login ID, password, token, laptop computer, smart phone or other mobile device.

This better approach is voice authentication.

Biometric voice technologies provide strong authentication – assurance that a person remotely interacting with a system is who they claim to be. This approach compares favorably to other methods – including certificates and knowledge-based “shared secrets” (e.g., your mother’s maiden name) – in accuracy of authentication, security and convenience for the user. The individual is authenticated, rather than someone who has obtained their user name and password, or stolen their laptop computer or digital token. Also, because voice authentication technologies can be adopted on a usage basis, the costs and time required to install and maintain these systems are much lower than alternative approaches.
