"Axalto and Bioscrypt teamed up to combine the proven strong security of smart cards with the advanced authentication technology of fingerprint biometrics," said Matthew Halbgewachs of Axalto's Partners, Channels and Alliances Program. "Our focus is the enterprise security sector for organizations that want a converged physical and IT Security system with a single credential." Once an identity is established, the necessary information, including a fingerprint biometric, is placed on a single contact or contactless Axalto smart card. The card is then used to verify a person's identity and privileges before granting the person both physical access (to a building or place) and logical access (to information or other online resources). This consolidated access solution decreases administration costs by reducing the number of separately administered authentication credentials and greatly reducing errors and resulting corrective actions. "Convergence is becoming more in demand as enterprises seek easier and more cost-effective ways to manage physical and logical access control," said Robert L.
