U.are.U®Pro

for Active Directory

Biometric Authentication System

Security and Password Replacement

U.are.U Pro is a biometric authentication system for large and small enterprises that want to eliminate the burdens and security problems of password-based logon. U.are.U Pro uses advanced fingerprint recognition technology to heighten security and replace passwords. U.are.U Pro for Active Directory is specifically designed to take full advantage of the enterprise-class directory services and management capabilities of Microsoft ®Windows 2000 Active Directory.

The Password Security Problem

Most organizations face increasing pressure to secure access to their network and applications. Their efforts are constrained by the practices of frustrated users who create trivial passwords or write them on Post-it notes. Password-based user authentication remains the weakest link in the security chain and a large burden for end-users and IT support staff. 

Biometric Authentication with DigitalPersona Pro

U.are.U Pro utilizes state of the art fingerprint recognition to allow users to securely and quickly logon with the touch of their finger. Unlike password and token based authentication, biometric authentication is based on who you are. Only biometric authentication eliminates the burden and usage problems associated with passwords and tokens. The entire fingerprint recognition subsystem, including the optics, firmware, driver and the software recognition engine, is designed and optimized by DigitalPersona™ for unmatched performance. With the first touch of your finger, and over time with many users, you’ll experience why U.are.U fingerprint recognition technology is consistently rated the best in the industry.

Password Replacement

Imagine never having to remember or type a password again. The One Touch™ security applications securely store user passwords and lock them with the users unique fingerprint. Easier to remember and much more secure than passwords, users access the network and applications with a tap of their finger. Best of all, the software is easy to set-up and requires no scripting or programming.
 

Heightened Security

Enforcing password security is nearly impossible. U.are.U Pro makes it easy for users to maintain security because it’s based on who they are (not what they can remember). U.are.U Pro also delivers additional security capabilities, such as two factor authentication, to support a full range of security needs. Furthermore, U.are.U Pro is a highly secure, end-to-end system. From the sensor to the server database, the system uses encryption and data signature technology to preserve privacy and system integrity.

Easy to Own

Beyond the benefits of heightened security and convenient logon, you’ll also appreciate how easy it is to own U.are.U Pro. The system management capabilities support the largest enterprise deployments and will provide lower support costs than password-based authentication.
