Its PIPA Touch scanner can add biometricauthentication to phones' lock screens, websites and other tasks through a developer kit, and a modular design lets it slip into cases for the Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices that should receive support.
The risk of interception either of a biometric itself as it travels across a network, or of the authentication message issued when a correct biometric has been presented means that using biometrics as a form of authentication on open networks such as the Internet is hugely problematic, because such messages could subsequently be forged.
