Sonavation joins FIDO Alliance

Sonavation is committed to developing integrated identification and authentication solutions with its patented Ultrasound Biometric technology. By reading not just the surface fingerprint of the user but also a dynamic, deep tissue and vascular map of the fingertip, Sonavation will provide one-to-one match of the individual with its sensors across a number of form factors including smartphones, smartcards, access control systems, and more.

Open FIDO specifications will support a full range of authentication technologies, including biometrics such as fingerprint and iris scanners, voice and facial recognition, as well as existing solutions and communications standards, such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM), USB Security Tokens, embedded Secure Elements (eSE), Smart Cards, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Near Field Communication (NFC).

In recent news, SafeNet, a global data protection services provider, has joined FIDO Alliance as a sponsor level member.
