Exceptional Results Obtained in Biometric Operational Test Performed by the Standards Institution of Israel.Business/High-Tech Editors HAIFA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2002 The Software Testing Software testing is the process used to measure the quality of developed computer software. Usually, quality is constrained to such topics as correctness, completeness, security, but can also include more technical requirements as described under the ISO standard ISO 9126, such Center of the Standards Institution of Israel performed a test of biometric authentication See biometrics. solution on behalf of SentryCom, a Voice Authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. technology and solutions provider. The solution tested, VoiceShield(R), introduces an authentication application to tighten security with the inherent convenience of the human voice. The solution allows users secure access to information using 3-tier authentication architecture, which includes behavioral biometrics The biological identification of a person. Examples are face, iris and retinal patterns, hand geometry and voice. Increasingly built into laptop computers, fingerprint readers have become popular as a secure method for identification. of Voice Authentication and a proprietary combination of hardware and software identifiers. The test carried out by The Standards Institution of Israel, an affiliate of eTesting Labs Inc. a Ziff Davis Media (Ziff Davis Media Inc., New York, www.ziffdavis.com) A leading integrated media company that serves the computer, videogame and consumer lifestyle markets. Its offerings include PC Magazine and the PCMag.com Network, which includes PCMag.com, ExtremeTech. Company, was conducted to validate the overall functionality of VoiceShield(R) enterprise solution. By simulating a real-life typical usage scenario SII SII Servicio de Impuestos Internos (Chile) SII Seiko Instruments, Inc. SII Strong Interest Inventory SII Standards Institution of Israel SII Securities and Investment Institute (UK) was able to test the performance of the Biometric Voice Authentication security layer in a controlled environment. SII has comprised a four-part test, carried out by a mixed population and varying ages that included: enrollment, genuine transactions, imposter transactions and imposter tape-recorded transactions. During the test SII has measured the following failure rates: failure to enroll, failure to acquire, false non-match and false match. The final results show excellent performance, that reflect the reliability required in the market and proves that Voice authentication accuracy can be increased while keeping the system robust and convenient to use.
