Solus works by simply taking a selfie

Solus, a biometrics security solutions specialist based in London, Hong Kong and Jakarta, has launched its 2 factor authentication (2FA) which uses a simple selfie to login to any apps and web services.

Solus uses Eyeprint ID technology and scrambled Pinpad to give secure 2FA to any enterprise, with any web services or mobile apps fully integrated and single sign-on within hours.

Typically 2FA has relied on expensive additional hardware like scanners, card readers and dongles to provide encrypted login for customers and staff. Solus utilises the HD camera in a person’s existing smartphone so a company doesn’t need to distribute, support and replace additional hardware.

For the user the promise of simple, password access to applications like banking, healthcare or any web sign on is appealing. Set up takes less than a minute and sign-in takes one or two seconds.

Matt Ainscow, CEO, Solus said: “Every month the news is abuzz with stories of damaging hacks that cost companies millions in direct losses and irreparable damage to brand and customer confidence.

“What we’ve done at Solus is solve two important issues. Impenetrable, secure access to web services and enterprise systems, coupled with a better, simpler user experience.”

Solus can be installed on Android and IOS devices and works by taking a print of the blood vessels on the eye. According to the company, these vessels or veins don’t change with age, and can provide effective login and usage in all lighting conditions and even through glasses and contact lenses.

Plus it works simply like taking a selfie – something we’ve all become used to in the last 3 years.  Single Sign On is available for companies using Active Directories and LDAP solutions and integration literally takes Solus just a few hours.  Additional 2FA elements are available too, including device tying and geo-location services.
