The Apple iPhone X’s facial ID recognition system has opened up a wide range of technology applications in the mobile biometrics industry.

Taking advantage of the opportunities, Pramati Technology has launched a platform that provides support for the iPhone X.

Called ThumbSign biometric authentication platform, it offers both Face ID and finger print matching technologies. This, in turn, will pave the way for a new era of authentication without the need for passwords.

The Hyderabad-based software products and services company introduced ThumbSign in July this year. It is a mobile and web SaaS platform that enables enterprises and service providers to deploy authentication solutions, which eliminates reliance on passwords and ensures security.

Pramati will provide its existing and new customers a free upgrade of its ThumbSignIn SDK, enabling them to add face recognition-based authentication to their consumer portals and enterprise apps.

This means ThumbSignIn end-users who upgrade to the iPhone X will be able to log in to their enterprise systems using Face ID, like they already do using their fingerprints, a company release said.

“The new Face ID support feature in ThumbSignIn is a part of Pramati’s continuing mission to make Internet services more secure. We believe that strong authentication mechanisms will inevitably become ubiquitous. Apple’s launch of Face ID corroborates our conviction that this paradigm shift is real and irreversible,” said Vijay Pullur, co-founder and president of the company.
