EyeLock Introduces Biometric Phone-Based Access Control Tech

Voxx’ EyeLock introduced the NanoAccess access control system that uses cellphones and smartwatches as secure credentials vs. access cards or touch-based personal identification number keypads. NanoAccess supports EyeLock's Portable Templates feature, which stores a user's biometric template on a smart card or mobile device instead of on a computer or in a database, the company said Monday. Because it’s web-based, NanoAccess software doesn’t have to be installed or updated in the future; it works with standard web browsers on Windows and MacOS-based computers, the company said. EyeLock customers had been asking for an affordable, biometric-based access control system, said EyeLock Senior Vice President-Global Business Development Chris Jahnke. The combination of NanoAccess with EyeLock's NanoFace facial recognition technology announced last week (see 2203170005) is a “major step in that direction.”
