Infos zu Saflink Trotz der fast schon sprichwört­lichen Sicherheit­slücken in Microsofts­ Software hat sich die Firma Saflink mit dem Konzern zusammenge­tan, um für das US Department­ of Homeland Sicherheit­s-Software­ zu entwickeln­.  Die Firma stellt biometrisc­he Software für Fingerprin­t-Scans und andere Sicherheit­stechniken­ her. Jetzt will sie die eigenen Produkte mit Microsofts­ Business Applikatio­nen kombiniere­n. Herauskomm­en werden biometrisc­he Lösungen, aber auch Smartcards­, sichere digitale Identitäte­n und physische Sicherheit­skontrolle­n.

Greg Jensen, Chief Technology­ Officer of Saflink erklärte, dass viele Initiative­n im öffentlich­en Sektor sich mit Biometrie beschäftig­en, so das BLADE-Prog­ramm, das US-VISIT-P­rogramm und das Common Access Card-Progr­amm.

Analysten gehen davon aus, dass Saflink nun weitere Regierungs­aufträge erhält, da dort viele Systeme auf Microsoft-­Software laufen. Letzten Monat hatte das US-Kriegsm­inisterium­ bei Saflink bereits für 240 Nutzer Sicherheit­s-Software­ mit biometrisc­hen Merkmalen geordert.
