Mobile Devices

As a global society we are becoming more self reliant on mobile devices, in particular our mobile phone which in itself is fast transitioning from a phone to a “smart-phone” whereby we keep more personal and business data, surf the Internet, send email, be tracked by GPS not least view videos and listen to music. It is in fact fast becoming established as a PC.

It is often said that in a few short years the mobile smart-phone will become the most important personal “identity” item we have, eclipsing even our Passport. So protecting the information on this type of device, stopping anyone other than the owner or authorised people from using it, is not just a question of “nice to have” its an absolute necessity if the full potential of such technology is to be realised and our daily business and personal security is to be vastly improved.

MAVIS is a unique voice biometric application not only because of its processing and functionality but because it is the first application of its kind to actually reside on the Mobile Phone unlike other applications that reside on a server. This immediately increases the level of security as the first action performed on the phone during start up is to do a “live” verification and authorisation of the user. This has never before been available.

So with MAVIS installed on your mobile, your phone usage, data (like address book and files) and memory are protected against misuse even in the unfortunate event that your mobile gets stolen.

Further, ASTL has developed its biometric software so that it can easily be integrated into other applications and systems like GPS Tracking Systems and Mobile Banking. For this ASTL is developing its Personal Identification Partner Program.

The major advantage for users is that once MAVIS is installed on the mobile phone not only does the mobile phone remain protected but the user automatically becomes compatible with any other application or system that has been MAVIS enabled at no extra cost.

Another significant advantage of using MAVIS is that the user you doesn’t have to remember, protect (and routinely change) any PIN numbers. Your voice is your identity.
