Elephant Talk Communications Corp. (ETAK) Says Voice Biometrics is Best
The recent fingerprint hacking of over five million United States government employees raises questions about the safety of biometrics. Biometrics, a technology that measures and analyzes biological data like voice, fingerprint, iris, and facial scans, is used by companies like Apple and Samsung to unlock user-specific products. However, rising concerns over biometric use within customer-based businesses after the latest breaching of fingerprint data need to be addressed.
Elephant Talk Communications Corporation (NYSE MKT: ETAK), a global provider of Software Defined Network Architecture (ET Software DNA® 2.0) platforms and security solutions, suggests we move towards voice biometric technologies with multi-factor authentication to increase personal identity safety. The current fingerprint biometric trend lacks the option of changing should a breach happen. Fingerprints are static which means they can never be altered, therefore, once stolen the information remains available indefinitely. However, voice biometrics are dynamic which allows for fast alterations should they be compromised.
Various companies are working on biometric interface systems for users that provide safer security measures. ValidSoft, a subsidiary of Elephant Talk, offers security services that use voice biometrics coupled with multi-factor authentication approaches for the development of advanced verification systems to keep sensitive information protected. This means that the company provides multiple layers (factors) of security for each user, making hacking almost impossible. One factor, like a password, can be easily accessed while contextual data specific to a user with other factors proves more difficult. By using the latest in voice biometric algorithm technology, ValidSoft offers user-specific verification software.
Elephant Talk believes in the value of both static and dynamic biometrics, though insists on companies not using them by themselves. For greater security, validation technologies should use multiple factors, contextual data, and numerous layers to keep users and their information locked for theft prevention.
