Key Fob – Next Generation Biometric
In today's digital-first world, organizations handling sensitive data require advanced security solutions that are both robust and user-friendly.
Next Generation Biometric for Enterprise,
Grade Security and Encrypted Access
In today’s digital-first world, organizations handling sensitive data require advanced security solutions that are both robust and user-friendly. This case study presents a biometric key fob solution that enforces strict authentication, supports multi-protocol connectivity (Bluetooth & USB), and provides end-to- end encrypted communication. Managed through a centralized desktop application, the solution ensures that only authorized users can access systems and data, offering a seamless blend of security, usability, and compliance.
Problem Statement
Organizations across industries face increasing risks from unauthorized access to critical systems and confidential information.
Slow and error-prone authentication
Manual processes reduce efficiency and create potential for security breaches.
Varied connectivity requirements
Some environments require wireless access for mobility, while others demand secure USB connections.
Lack of centralized user management
Difficulty in enrollment, fingerprint updates, and access logging increases compliance and operational risks.
Communication vulnerabilities
Sensitive commands and data can be intercepted without proper encryption.
User adoption barriers
Complex interfaces and registration processes reduce staff engagement, especially among non-technical personnel.
Our Solution: Key Fob - Next Generation Biometric
Biometric Key fob with Multi-Protocol Connectivity and Encrypted Messaging.
Dual Connectivity Modes (Bluetooth & USB)
Seamlessly connect key fob devices via Bluetooth Mode for wireless, mobile-friendly discovery through the desktop app, or use USB Mode for automatic, plug-and-play detection—ideal for secure, offline, or high-reliability use cases.
Biometric Enrollment & Secure Authentication
Secure access with 12-sample fingerprint enrollment for high accuracy. Only registered fingerprints are authenticated, while unrecognized attempts are denied. Users can re-enroll or delete fingerprints and add digital signatures for an extra layer of security.
Secure Encrypted Messaging
Built on dual secure elements (NXP P71/A71CH and EdgeLock SE050), the system supports ECC, RSA, and AES cryptography. It uses end-to-end encryption with unique device/user key pairs and AES-CTR–secured communication, ensuring only authorized private keys can decrypt messages and preventing tampering or unauthorized access.
Centralized Desktop Management
An intuitive desktop interface enables secure device connectivity, biometric enrollment, credential management, and encrypted messaging, while comprehensive audit logs track all enrollment, access, and communication events to support compliance.
Certifications & Industry Standards
Compliant with FIPS 140-2 / 140-3 for government, healthcare, and financial security requirements, and FIDO certified with support for FIDO U2F and FIDO2, enabling passwordless, phishing-resistant enterprise authentication.
