Aladdin Knowledge Systems, the leader in Software Digital Rights Management (DRM) and USB-based authentication solutions has unveiled a biometric authentication technology based on cardiac patterns.

The cardio-based biometric technology - the world's first, according to the company, provides authentication using a person's natural BioDynamic Signature (BDS) - an electro bio-signature that is unique to each individual.

"Biometric based authentication, which use unique body measurements to verify identity instead of - or in addition to - passwords, are a big business that is growing every year. An industry trade group pegs annual sales at $2.2 billion, and predicts they will hit $6 billion by 2010, as companies add biometric security to everything from ATMs to cell phones," said Shlomi Yanai, VP - Aladdin eToken business unit.
