San Francisco, CA –March 27, 2013: Opus Research is assembling a roster of top-notch presenters to describe how voice biometric technologies help fill the need for fast, easy and strong user authentication. Financial institutions, mobile carriers, consumer electronics manufacturers and government agencies are already putting the technologies to task to support the most convenient way to establish trustworthy links between individuals and the resources they use everyday.
Voice Biometrics Conference San Francisco (May 8-9, #VBCSF) will begin with a keynote address from FIDO Alliance president and Paypal CISO Michael Barrett showing how a new authentication approach advocated by the FIDO Alliance (“Fast ID Online”) will open up a wide variety of application possibilities by simplifying authentication processes while actually reducing the possibility of fraud. No need to rely on passwords when there’s an open framework for authenticating individuals with a minimum of effort.
Voice Biometrics Conference San Francisco is the industry’s premier global event highlighting the latest developments and deployments to promote security and personalization for consumer electronics and mobile devices, as well as e-commerce oriented contact centers. Among the session topics:
- Global financial services provider Barclays using passive authentication in contact centers
- Turkish wireless carrier Avea registering more than 1.3 million voiceprints for customer verification
- Members of the FIDO Alliance discuss moving beyond passwords to strong authentication
- Where voice biometrics fits in multi-factor authentication and multi-modal enterprise strategies
- How voice authentication is embedded in mobile, smart home, connected car and consumer electronic devices
“More and more of everyday life is now mobile,” explains Dan Miller, conference chair and founder of Opus Research. “Application developers, device makers and service providers need to know how multi-factor authentication, including voice, work together to promote fast, easy and strong user authentication.”
