Enhancing Security with Advanced Biometric Authentication for Digital Identities

CardLab: Revolutionizing Biometric Authentication for Enterprise Security

CardLab is at the forefront of the cybersecurity industry, offering cutting-edge passwordless biometric authentication solutions to safeguard enterprises and critical infrastructure against evolving cyber threats. The company has recently introduced FIDO-certified biometric card and server login options, setting new standards in security and convenience.

In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity and digital convenience have become paramount concerns. CardLab recognized this shift early on and adapted its strategic focus to address these challenges. With global cybercrime costs projected to reach $14 trillion by 2028 and the looming threat of quantum computing, traditional security measures are proving inadequate. CardLab aims to combat these risks by replacing traditional passwords with highly secure and user-friendly biometric authentication methods.

Established in 2006, CardLab has been dedicated to providing convenient, reliable, and scalable security solutions. As a global leader in advanced biometrics, the company specializes in logical and physical access control, identity management, and infrastructure protection. With research and development facilities in Denmark and advanced biometric card manufacturing in Thailand, CardLab offers a comprehensive suite of biometric ‘Authentication as a Service’ solutions.

Over nearly two decades, CardLab has pioneered biometric authentication technology with seven patent families. The company’s innovative solutions, including the FIDO-certified Access Card, Defender Card, and QuardLock authentication system, have been developed through rigorous research and real-world testing.

Revolutionizing Biometric Authentication Technology

CardLab has developed a state-of-the-art biometric authentication solution that offers fast, convenient, user-friendly, and secure multi-factor authentication. This technology enables biometric-verified passwordless access and tokenised authentication for enterprises, governments, and critical infrastructure, addressing the vulnerabilities of traditional device-based authentication methods.

CardLab’s approach focuses on offline biometric verification, a crucial feature in an increasingly connected world. By processing biometric data directly on the card, rather than transmitting it over networks, CardLab eliminates significant vulnerability points in authentication systems, ensuring that biometric information remains secure and protected against data interception and network-based attacks.

The authentication process is both secure and efficient, with users verifying their identity using fingerprint recognition on the card. The card communicates with the backend system via near-field communication or Bluetooth Low Energy, enabling quick verification and access approval within seconds.

Comprehensive Biometric Card Suite

CardLab offers a range of biometric card configurations tailored to different security needs and use cases. The CardLab Access Cards, for instance, provide a versatile solution for enterprise security by combining offline biometric verification with contactless communication and FIDO2-certified authentication. These cards can serve multiple purposes, including employee identification, door access, and system logins, streamlining security infrastructure and reducing IT support costs.

As a card manufacturer, CardLab offers full customization options to meet specific end-customer requirements and branding needs, ensuring that organizations can maintain their identity while implementing robust security measures.

QuardLock: Next-Gen Identity Management

Alongside the FIDO-certified Access card, CardLab introduces the QuardLock backend system for comprehensive identity management in a zero-trust environment. This includes a digital API solution and a verification platform for tokenized offline identity created on the biometric card upon fingerprint approval.

The QuardLock API solution enables passwordless integration through various methods, such as QR code scanning, NFC, BLE, and FIDO server authentication. This smartphone-based solution is ideal for applications like loyalty platforms that prioritize user experience over high-level security.

Adhering to zero-trust principles, QuardLock validates every request to ensure access is always verified, meeting international authentication security standards as a FIDO2 certified solution.

The combination of CardLab Access cards and QuardLock token verification platform offers secure user authentication, GDPR compliance, and defense against emerging cyber threats.

CardLab provides QuardLock solutions with flexible deployment options, including hosted AaaS, white-label solutions, and on-premise installations, to suit diverse organizational needs.

The QuardLock API solution enables seamless integration of passwordless authentication into existing systems, enhancing security practicality and cost-effectiveness.

Addressing Emerging Threats

CardLab stays ahead of emerging threats in the digital landscape, particularly quantum computing. By incorporating offline biometric verification and identity tokenization, CardLab ensures a quantum-resistant security model, safeguarding organizations against future encryption vulnerabilities.

CardLab’s commitment to innovation ensures that security strategies evolve with the ever-changing threat landscape, providing customers with ongoing improvements and adaptions to meet the latest security trends.
