CES, Las Vegas, Jan 08, 2010 — Egis Technology Inc., a leading sensor provider of fingerprint biometrics and data encryption solutions, announces that its latest integrated fingerprint software solution, BioExcess, is the world's first fingerprint solution to support Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA) using Microsoft's Windows Biometric Framework (WBF). The PBA capability allows users to add an extra layer of security prior to Windows logon, hence doubling their protection from unauthorized PC access.
"We are the first company in the world to incorporate Pre-Boot Authentication using WBF, in a fingerprint security solution." said EgisTec. "This shows our commitment to provide leading edge technology to our customers. With WBF incorporated, BioExcess can easily be integrated into new PCs to provide users with a consistent Windows 7 experience."
BioExcess ensures a convenient and easy way for users to protect and secure the privacy of their computer data with biometric and data security features. Using their unique fingerprint as the master key, users can pass the BIOS authentication (PBA), conduct Windows log on or even login to their favorite websites and applications. The patented SwipeOne® feature enables users to recall their stored IDs and Passwords in Password Bank and auto-launch their favorite websites and applications with just one swipe of the finger. With this feature, users will never have to remember a single password again. For additional privacy, users can drag and drop their confidential data into Yo-Safe™, a totally hidden virtual disk which is only accessible via fingerprint or password authentication. Other features include the sidebar gadget, multi-launcher and file encryption/decryption.
