Ceelox ID®

Ceelox ID® software authenticates users via biometrics before allowing them access to personal computers, files, external drives and networks.                       

Ceelox™ fingerprint biometrics substantially reduces the chance that an  unauthorized person could access your computer services, files or  networks. Each user simply authenticates their identity via a fingerprint  scanner. This provides a much stronger access authentication than user  name and passwords that can be lost, stolen, forgotten or shared. 

Ceelox ID® offers convenient password replacement with the swipe of a  finger. By far the largest category of Help Desk calls is username and password  related. The use of Ceelox ID® will substantially reduce the large  number of your help desk calls related to usernames and passwords. In  an organization with 5,000 users, the cost elimination can be as high  as $40,000 each and every month.    If your organization or your applications require ironclad security,  using Ceelox ™ fingerprint biometrics in combination with usernames and  passwords provides the strongest authentication readily available today.

How It Works

When it obtains sufficient data on each  enrolled finger, it builds a biometric template.

Ceelox ID® notifies  the user that enrollment was successful.

At each subsequent user logon,  Ceelox ID® prompts the user to authenticate by placing an enrolled  finger on the fingerprint scanner. The software then compares data  obtained from the fingerprint scan to the user’s data file. If the two  sets of data match, Ceelox ID® grants access.

At no time is an image of  the user’s fingerprint captured and stored. Instead, minutia points  about the user’s fingerprint are captured and used to create a unique  biometric template. The chance of a false positive, granting  unauthorized access is 10 to the 7th power.

Ceelox  ID® securely encrypts all data (both enrollment and log on) that  defines a user fingerprint and then encrypts it a second time to insure  its security. In addition, the software makes it impossible for an  unauthorized user who deciphers a user fingerprint file to successfully  authenticate using that deciphered data.

Ceelox  ID® installs easily on a network server or single user personal  computer. The server edition is highly scalable and supports Windows  Active Directory credentialing. Ceelox ID® supports Active Directory to  allow the user to access any secured location with a Single Sign On (SSO).  SSO provides convenience to the user, and eliminates the need for  multiple passwords which can be forgotten or lost, consuming costly  help desk time.
