Collaboration on biometric authentication technologies
It has been announced that Analog Devices (ADI) is collaborating with B-Secur to develop a complete biometric authentication solution for automotive vehicles. The combination of ADI’s signal conditioning technology with B-Secur’s electrocardiogram (ECG) biometric algorithms software aims to enable automobiles to authenticate and identify drivers and passengers.
The technology is designed to detect driver readiness and wellness by monitoring the driver’s vital signs for any irregularities. In addition, the ECG identification capability can be used to access features such as vehicle entry, immobiliser deactivation, infotainment personalisation and online payments for ridesharing usage, personalised insurance payments and more.
Ben Carter, Chief Commercial officer, B-Secur, stated: “B-Secur’s ECG biometric technology can not only quickly and securely verify identity, but also turn the data into meaningful insights on driver/passenger wellness, including stress and drowsiness. We are delighted to collaborate with Analog Devices to help make the world a safer place with ECG biometrics, securing human and technology interaction at its heart.”
