Web-based applications impact every aspect of business. Examples of mission-critical applications include:
• Transacting with and servicing customers (Business-to-Consumer)
• Exchanging corporate information, goods and services with partners (Business-to-Business)
• Interacting with employees to ensure the successful completion of their daily tasks (Business-to-Employee)

The business liability associated with protecting online information has increased significantly. As a result, Internet security and privacy are two of the most important issues facing businesses today. 

Features

Security and Convenience:
DigitalPersona Online provides fingerprint-based authentication to virtually any web application. DigitalPersona Online is an end-to-end server and client software that enables businesses to provide increased security to customers, partners and employees. Fingerprint authentication eliminates the need to remember passwords.

Differentiate Your Service:
DigitalPersona Online allows businesses to differentiate and extend their services to partners and customers creating a high level of user confidence that can only be achieved through strong authentication methods based on verifiable user identity.

Reduce Support Costs:
DigitalPersona Online produces measurable financial benefits and a rapid return-on-investment. By removing the need for users to remember passwords, support calls for lost or forgotten passwords are eliminated. The results are dramatically increased customer and partner satisfaction and decreased help desk and support costs.

Privacy by Design:
DigitalPersona Online was designed to protect the privacy of users' biometric data by transferring authentication information using a combination of encryption, digital certificates and PKI. DigitalPersona Online uses fingerprint templates which means that fingerprint images are never stored. The architecture supports the encryption and complete isolation of user templates from any other individually identifiable data. This unique design provides the ultimate in privacy and protection.

Hardware Interoperability:
The greatest boon to the biometric market is the influx of fingerprint readers built into business notebook computers. DigitalPersona Online 4.2 supports the various forms of swipe readers built into the notebook computers marketed by Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo and Toshiba as well as the DigitalPersona optical U.are.U® Fingerprint Readers. This eliminates, in some cases, the need to purchase additional hardware and maintains your customers¡¯ investments. For an up-to-date list of supported notebooks go to: www.digitalpersona.com/notebooks.

Easy Implementation:
DigitalPersona Online seamlessly integrates with Windows, Linux, Mac OS X server-based operating systems, multiple web servers and all of the major commercial database environments to provide secure and trusted fingerprint-based authentication for business-to-consumer, business-to-business and business-to-employee transactions.
