rf IDEAS announces partnership with ID R&D to add market-leading biometric solutions to its offering

SCHAUMBURG, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–rf IDEAS, a leading manufacturer of credential readers for authentication and logical access, is delighted to announce that it is partnership with ID R&D to bring its market-leading biometric authentication and anti-identity theft products to the rf IDEAS portfolio.

“This partnership helps us expand rf IDEAS’ biometric offerings as a reseller of ID R&D’s market-leading biometric software solutions,” said Raul Cepeda Jr., Vice President of Product and Marketing at rf IDEAS. “When used in conjunction with our readers, it provides our customers with the multi-factor authentication (MFA) capability they need. This will continue our efforts to drive MFA to secure printing and other logical access applications across all verticals.

ID R&D is a developer of advanced biometric products for identity verification and authentication. Their products use state-of-the-art technology to provide a convenient and secure authentication factor for mobile access applications as well as physical access devices.

• Passive facial liveliness detection, which identifies impersonation attacks, such as using a photo or mask, against biometric facial matching.

• Voice biometrics, which uses a microphone in devices such as a mobile phone or kiosk to authenticate the user. R&D’s ID spoofing measures can identify if voice is being recorded or altered in any way.

“Employees can share passwords, access cards and even mobile devices. When protecting critical infrastructure, biometrics has the advantage of convenience and liveness detection protects them against loss, theft or sharing,” said Alexey Khitrov, CEO of ID R&D. “Without the actual user being physically present, biometric access will fail. As a result, organizations can be more confident that the intended person is accessing protected equipment and information.

Adding biometric authentication to the IDEAS rf wallet increases security and reduces user friction.
