The Possibilities of Cloud Powered Biometrics
Patrick BarryCEO, BluBØX Security, Inc.
Authentication Factors Knowledge§ PIN§ Password
Possession§ Access Card§ Key Fob§ Mobile Credential
Biometrics§ Finger§ Face§ Iris
Knowledge and Possession factors are characterized by 0% False Reject Rate (FRR). And 100% False Accept Rate (FAR).
Biometrics balances these two reciprocal errors: For example 0.5% FAR @ 0.5% FRR
In our predominantly card based deployments today, we let in the card not the person – and that’s just not secure
The Perfect Authentication Factor
If I can determine who you are…
Do I need to know anything else?( Like a card, mobile device or PIN? )
Three Factor Authentication has historically been used because each factor by itself was imperfect. However, as biometric identification accuracy and robustness are driven to 100%, the need for the other two factors will disappear.
Security vs. Convenience
In balancing convenience and security, convenience has historically been weighted more heavily. We have accepted a lower level of security to make it easier on ourselves.
Convenience and Security
When we can provide convenience and security our industry will expand naturally and people will be safer and more secure
Authentication Trends and Drivers1. First came Multi-Factor Authentication to improve security
§ Two or more dissimilar factors§ Ex: Swipe your credit card and enter your zip code at the gas pump§ Ex: Card + PIN for EAC
2. Then came Biometrics to further improve security
1. Followed by Multi-Mode Authentication to reduce FTE§ Ex: Answer two personal questions§ Very common in Biometrics
§ Driven by the need to improve Failure to Enroll (FTE)§ FTE is non-zero for many biometric technologies§ Ex: 3%-5% of the population can’t be fingerprinted§ 98% enrollment rate on 2,500 users => 50 users not enrolled
2. Biometrics are now being used for convenience also
As we continue to rapidly move to True Mobile Security, we will need a way to ensure who is interacting with a system remotely – just like what is happening in e-commerce today – driving a rapid shift to biometric identification/verification
Biometrics is Here to Stay
Biometrics Total Market1
§ Size Now: $2B in 2015§ Grow to: $14.9B by 2024§ Rate: 25% CAGR§ Key verticals: Finance, consumer
devices, health care, enterprise security and government

Outside of Physical Security biometrics is growing rapidly, gaining public acceptance and being used for security and convenience
Biometrics in Physical Security

EAC Total Market1
§ Size $5.6B§ Growth at 10%
Only 6-11% of PACS readers are biometric2
Despite Physical Security being the inventors and drivers of biometrics in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, it still represents a small part of the physical security market today
Biometric Barriers in Physical Security
Biometrics barriers in Physical Security have created a headwind that has limited significant biometric adoption.
Product cost - systems and readers.
Administration – enrol lment and database duplication.
Convenience – ease of use. Performance – speed, rel iabil ity and robustness.
Privacy and biometric data security and ownership.
Lack of standards and interoperabil ity.

Pillars of Cloud Architecture
The pillars of Cloud architecture and their enabling technologies offer approaches to overcoming some of the biometric barriers of physical security
Do more with Cloud architecture.
Own less of everything.
Get better software. More often. Automatical ly. Protect yourself against
disaster. Operate eff iciently.
Secure your data.
Cloud+Biometric Physical Security
Cost§ Eliminate the need for mult iple servers
(PACS & Biometric ) § Scale more cost effect ively across an
Enterprise (multi-site)§ Use Biometrics wherever you need
them
Administration§ Remote enrollment w/ mobile devices § Self-enrollment w/ mobile devices§ Administer from anywhere, on any
device - operat ional efficiency
Standards/Interoperability§ Unify Biometric templates in the c loud
from different PACS § Administer across mult iple sites and
disparate systems§ A single record w/ card, pin, mobile,
and mult iple biometric templates
Do more
Own less
Secure your data
Better software
Redundancy &High Availability
Operate efficiently
Convenience§ Spawn a whole new generation of
mult i-biometric multi- factor readers and solut ions
§ Security and convenience
Performance§ Unlimited computing resources to
calculate biometric templates§ Unlimited storage to record proof of
presence§ Unlimited computing resources to do
self learning a lgorithms
Privacy/Data Security§ Use biometrics for secure access and
mobile login w/ True Mobile Security§ Data security of the c loud§ Cyber security protection§ Redundancy and high availability
