Identity and Access Management

Proving who you are daily, from electronic transactions to air travel, is the norm

Identity and access management covers identity management solutions for border management and immigration systems, civil identity, identity authentication, password management and access control applications.  These solutions are based on biometrics and traditional identity management platforms and include:

  • Voice recognition
  • Facial recognition
  • DNA
  • Fingerprint
  • Palm print
  • Hand geometry
  • Iris recognition

Organisations can use multi-modal biometric technologies (as listed above) and multi-factor authentication technologies (smart cards, RFID, passports, passwords, ID cards, and others) to provide a broad range of services including verification, identification, watchlist management, investigation and identity issuance.

By ensuring that only authenticated and authorised users may connect to services on offer, ISI members enable organisations to use their existing identity management infrastructure to control access to services. Additionally, solutions are available to enable the federation of digital identities across multiple domains by converting security tokens from one format to another.

ISI members specialising in this area are Daon and Vordel.
