Granted US
Patent 7,206,938 for biometrically
authenticating and protecting digital identities via typing rhythms,
allowing ordinary passwords to work like fingerprints
– a better
paradigm for preventing fraud and identity theft |
Solvang,
CA - April 17, 2007:
iMagic Software, the creators of Trustable Passwords™ --
which
turns ordinary passwords into strong biometric passwords that, like
individual fingerprints, cannot be lost or shared
-- today announced the United States Patent Office has granted all 42 of the
company’s claims and issued US Patent #7,206,938.
This patent protects the company’s
breakthrough method of recognizing and authenticating people by their unique
typing patterns.
“We
filed this application back in 2002 and it has been a long, but worthwhile,
process” said Steven L. Bender, chief executive officer.
“In granting all of our claims, the Patent Office has validated our
work and our seminal role in the keystroke dynamics and dynamic biometrics
fields. This is a very important
milestone for iMagic Software, and we thank the Patent Officers for their
recognition. Beyond the
technology covered in this patent, iMagic Software has other claims pending
covering additional work and discoveries over the last 5 years.
These, along with a large body of proprietary work, form our current
state-of-art Hyperstring Harmonics
technology (www.iMagicsoftware.com/Technology.htm),
the basis for Trustable Passwords, iMagic’s Enterprise Authentication and
Identity Assurance product suite, and our other “Trustable” products.”
Trustable
Passwords is in production use by major distributed enterprises to protect
privacy, comply with HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley, and assure that only
authorized users can access protected systems.
Trustable Passwords works using standard keyboards, workstation and
laptop, and over locally attached or remote networks.
Trustable Passwords provides protection from fraudulent access while
also increasing user convenience.
With Trustable Passwords there are no new processes – users simply
enter their password just as they normally do – no user training, and no new
hardware to buy or maintain.
Trustable
Passwords is a breakthrough -- a new, better paradigm for our new always-on,
distributed and connected world.
