Biometric Signature ID (BSI) announced positive results from a study of their software-only approach to biometric authentication for students using PCs. The new solution utilizes gesture biometrics via a user’s mouse and is envisioned to provide distance-learning students a more effective and secure means of accessing personal student files, discussion groups and other private areas of school networks.
The study, treated much like a pilot test of the software solution, took place across nine campuses involving 167 undergraduate and graduate students from various academic backgrounds. Students found enrollment and validation easy with many even finding the system entertaining.
