Here at Mobbeel, we are really glad to announce that we have won the first Emergent Authentication Challenge, sponsored by Emergent Consulting. The competition was looking for the most robust concept for a mobile authentication technology solution and the prize is going to be really helpful to boost our development, $10,000!

We presented one of our star products, MobbID. This solution consists on a state-of-the-art multi-biometric security platform that reliably and securely verifies the identity of mobile phone users by using their unique features, alone or in combination i.e. iris, voice, face, signature, hand geometry.

The judging process took various reviews from individuals, startups and subject matter experts from all over the World. Judges determined that the flexibility of the technology from multiple authentication sources, its ability to use existing smartphone technology and its potential in the marketplace gave it the edge in a very demanding pool of entries. This faith placed on us make us really proud of our job and give us strength to keep working harder than ever to create the best possible mobile authentication solutions for our clients.

The Emergent Authentication Challenge received entries from at least 20 different countries, reflecting the importance of this award.

This week we are glad to announce that Mobbeel will participate exhibiting our latest advances in voice biometrics at the 2012 VMA Conference Europe in Madrid-Spain, dated 11th June 2012 – 13th June 2012.

The International Association for Enhanced Voice Services (VMA) gathers together service providers, information and content providers, customers, the industry and other stakeholders to exchange information. Its goal is to promote and harmonise the enhanced voice services by achieving a better understanding of the technology, the markets, the applications and the services.

“One of the most informative conference on Voice Enhanced Services I have ever had the fortune to attend. Real user testimonial results data was very useful. Keep putting customers up on stage. I would really
recommend this event.”
Michaela Stuhrmann, Vodafone

We are really excited with this event because we are going to show for the first time our new Speech + Voice recognition technology, that adds another security layer to our voice recognition system. To identify the users we ask them for repeating a random sequence of numbers. Now we know who’s talking and what’s saying and both have to be correct to allow the access.

Furthermore we will show other advances of our range of products such as our face biometric identification system, the combination of voice and face recognition or our biometric signature platform for legally binding digital documents among others.

LAST UPDATE: Last night, Mobbeel won the VMA Innovation Contest Award. We are very proud of this award because now we see all the effort rewarded and that’s a sign that we are in the right way. We wanted to share this with everybody who follow us and tell them that this has not been possible without their daily support.

“I’d like to thank everybody who trusted in us and to the team”

The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across Europe. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.

This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list an valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.

“This year was very rewarding,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “The global economic situation has abated and there are many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Mobbeel shows great promise therefore deserves to be among the finalists. Now we’re faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring Europe. We know that the 2012 crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to make an impact.”

Finalists for the 2012 edition of the Red Herring 100 Europe award are selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. During the several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecommunications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech, mobile and other industries completed their submissions to qualify for the award.

During this event, participante should shortly explain their business idea to the jury. Our projecto was finalist in the ‘Best mobile development’ category along with the ‘Utopia’ zafrense company for its project ‘Geociudad.com’ and also with ‘Red EberSalud’ with its ‘Calculation of Cardiovascular Risk’. After deliberation, the jury named us winners for our biometric security solution for smartphones. To end the night, we received a small statue exclusively designed by sculptor Miguel Sansón for ‘Navegantes de Hoy’. Although everything didn’t end there, the prize was also an iPhone 4S for each team member through the sponsorship of Telefónica Movistar.

Last Wednesday, February 22th , Mr. Miguel Ángel Perez Polo, Extremadura Telefónica CEO, came to our offices in the corporate area of the ‘Centro de Cirujía de Mínima Invasión Jesús Usón’ of Caceres, to perform the act of delivery of our new phones.

From Mobbeel, we’d want to thank ‘Hoy.es’ digital newspaper and Telefónica for their work promoting entrepreneurship in Extremadura and for their commitment to innovation and development. We also congratulate the other finalists for their hard work and effort, because they deserved the award so much as we did. And finally, thanks also to everyone that encourage us to follow day by day with their support, because they are our greatest prize.

The project consists of adding a biometric access control system to six rooms of the Garage 2.0 Innovation Factory.

That access control is based on the use of smartphones and biometric recognition technology developed by Mobbeel that allows to identify people from unique features, such as iris or handwritten signature. The system verifies the identity of the Garage 2.0 users, and in case of being authorized, it allows the access to the rooms that are part of the project.

How does it work?
Once the project is over, The Garage 2.0 users can access to the rooms that they have been authorized to, using their smartphone as if it were a key. They only need to get closer to the room they want to access. Once there and using the application specially designed for smartphones, the user verifies its identity. Furthermore, If the system checks that the user have access to that room, the smartphone will securely and wirelessly communicate with the door and allow access.

There are several advantages:

No more keys, now you are the key.
The need of physical distribution of keys is removed. If the Garage 2.0 user has an smartphone supported by the system, he can use it to access to the rooms in which has been authorized.In case of not having a supported device, Garage 2.0 will make available several supported terminals to the users.

Even if the smartphone is stolen or lost, no one without authorization can access to that rooms thanks to the biometric recognition technology.

Three levels of security
- Something you only know: the specific access code of the room you want to access.
- Something you only own: the mobile device with the access application installed.
- Something you only are: You only have access to the room through your iris or your handwritten signature.

On June 15th 2011, Bankinter and Mobbeel jointly presented its groundbreaking broker application for smartphones. The applicationan identifies the user by using a biometric iris recognition system (developed by Mobbeel).

This unique technology allows clients to access their brokerage accounts on their smartphones through an iris recognition system which only requires the use of the smartphone’s camera, without needing additional hardware or external sensors. This new technology is an important step forward when compared to traditional username plus password identification and authentication protocols. Read more…
