I/O Software releases a new platform tool kit - SecureTec SDK 4.0
I/O Software also released its latest SecureTec Software Developer Kit (SDK). The SDK is designed for system integrators and software developers and provides them with powerful tools and controls to integrate the advanced authentication and user management functionality of SecureSuite XS into their own applications. Replace passwords, increase security, and lower support and administration costs.
SecureTec SDK Benefits are:
- Replace password-based authentication with secure smart card, token, fingerprint, iris, or any other BAPI compliant biometric authentication technology. SecureTec SDK gives you the flexibility to support all of these technologies through a single API.
- Developers and integrators just add a few simple API calls to an application. SecureTec AP does the rest, so you do not have to worry about device compatibility, drivers, 3rd party SDKs, changing technology, etc.
- Applications built with SecureTec SDK work with SecureSuite Server for fully Active Directory integrated authentication services.
The SecureTec SDK is designed for applications in:
- Health care
- Banking/financial institutions
- Government
- ID Development
- Enterprise networks
- Workflow management
- Physical access control
The SDK gives system integrators and developers immediate access to all of the supported authentication technologies and eliminates the risk of becoming locked into a single or proprietary technology. For more information please contact our integration team .
I/O Software teams up with Precise Biometrics
 Precise Biometrics and I/O Software are integrating Precise Match-on-Card technology with the SecureSuite XS authentication platform. By combining I/O Software's latest generation of award winning software with Precise Biometrics' leading technology for fingerprint storing and matching on smart cards, the companies offer an advanced IT-security solution, specifically targeting the companies and organizations that have high demands on security.
Precise Match-on-Card offers both storage and matching of the fingerprint to take place directly on the smart card, instead of in a less secure computer or server. Precise's products based on the technology are therefore particularly suitable for companies and organizations that have high demands on security. Precise Biometrics also offers high quality fingerprint readers for different needs and environments.
SecureSuite XS as well as SecureTec customers automatically have access to Precise's technology through I/O Software's authentication platform. For more information please contact our sales team .
