Leader in mobile and
cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, ImageWare
Systems (“IWS”), announced that it has been named an Innovation and Design
Award Winner for its Biometric Engine® (BE), a patented, real-time,
high-performance, cloud-enabled Multi-modal biometric database. Curious minds can

After three weeks of
inquisitive deliberation by five judges in Europe and North America, industry
research firm Envisioneering ultimately honored eleven companies for thirteen
innovations that are currently breaking new ground in technologies for
improving areas such as work, play and home. Envisioneering judges chose the
winners of the Innovation & Design Awards from over 30 companies who
launched new products during ShowStoppers. Showstoppers is a product showcase
event for journalists that takes place at GSMA’s Mobile World Congress. This
year’s event took place in Barcelona.
The winners spanned from
efficient protocols which link the Internet of Things to Android and iOS app
toolkits to personal protection and monitors for family members to biometric
and eye control, as well as log-in tools and products.
“The companies represented
among this year’s winners are stepping up their tempo and pace of innovation,”
commented Richard Doherty, Envisioneering’s Research Director and lead Judge.
“With a keen focus on mobile products, services and lifestyle, they weave
together original ideas in hardware, software, services and versatility to
benefit the life of the consumer.”
“In 2013, the United States
alone saw more than 12 million identity fraud victims at a dollar cost of $24
billion, with the average financial loss per identity theft totaling $4,930.
Goode Intelligence predicts that by the end of 2015 there will be 619 million
people using biometrics on their mobile device. We are honored to be recognized
for our innovation in the next generation of identity management,” stated Jim
Miller, CEO of ImageWare Systems. “Legacy technologies are failing to protect
business and consumer. Cost effective, flexible, cloud based Multi-modal
biometrics can authenticate and verify personal identity based human
characteristics and cannot be replicated. We are delivering new models that
support the huge growth in mobile and desktop transaction, business and health
services.”
Those selected for the honor
were judged in areas such as creative design, style, and overall innovation in
26 categories of social benefit, ranging from personal entertainment delivery
technologies to health and wellness.
“Gartner’s estimate of 30%
enterprise adoption for biometrics as the authentication standard by 2016
presents a huge opportunity for ImageWare in the projected $400 billion dollar
market place estimated for mobile payments by 2015,” concluded Jim Miller.
