One word: Mobio. This is a pretty darn cool system if you ask us. Have a look below for more details on this new piece of security technology.

“ Security startup Cryptolex emerges from stealth mode today with a handheld biometric security offering that can be used to access networks, applications, and door and building security systems.

Dubbed Mobio, the offering consists of a handheld device and back-end server integration between multiple network and physical security systems, which allows it to replace passwords, swipe cards, tokens and PINs, said Clovis Najm, founder of CEO of Cryptolex, based in Owings, Md.

Mobio runs on Cryptolex’s proprietary Universal ID System, which weaves together elements of biometrics and cryptography and provides strong authentication for building and door access, network access, and access to VPN and Web applications, according to Najm.

Mobio uses a server API to facilitate its integration into multiple environments, including Windows, Citrix, Linux, Solaris and BSD Unix, Najm said. “It’s the back-end infrastructure that enables Mobio to be used in all sectors simultaneously,” he added.”

Interconnecting biometrics, cryptography, and strong authentication standards… sounds like quite the nice standard to implement in business (and especially corporate) security solutions. The main concern we have is the undiscovered vulnerabilities that lie in this device. If a Mobio were to fall in the wrong hands and vulnerabilities could be exploited, that would cause no less than catastrophic results to the affected business/corporation.
