ADDITIONAL TOOLS
Features
- 1
Identifier-Free Authentication
Resolves user identity directly through biometric similarity search without using usernames, patient IDs, or personal identifiers.
- 2
Biometric–Passcode Key Binding
Derives cryptographic keys using an HMAC-based construction that securely combines a user passcode with a stable biometric reference.
- 3
Hardware-Enforced Key Protection
Uses Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to isolate and protect encryption keys, ensuring zero plaintext exposure even under database compromise.
- 4
Encrypted Biometric Storage & Search
Stores biometric embeddings encrypted with AES-256 and performs similarity search using FAISS within protected security boundaries.
- 5
High-Performance Authentication
Achieves low-latency authentication and high throughput on commodity hardware, suitable for real-time clinical workflows.
- 6
Regulatory-Compliant Security Design
Designed to align with GDPR and healthcare security requirements while maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and recoverability.
