Behavioural Biometrics device authorized

The CNIL has granted an authorization to JVL for its software enabling to identify an individual according to his/her keystroke. The technology can be used to authentify users in providing access to IT systems and applications. It analyzes the time span during two keystrokes while typing a series of 20 digits minimum.

Biometrics patterns will be encrypted using a strong public algorithm and a key specific to JVL. JVL will have to ensure that no device can be installed to record and simulate the user’s keystroke without his knowledge.

The authorization at this stage is granted only for the purpose of demonstration of the tool by JVL to potential customers.
