Company: Innovya R&D (Traceless Biometrics)

Job title: CTO, MD

Areas of expertise: INNOVIA R&D LTD. an Israeli startup providing a Traceless Biometrics Solution that clearly authenticates user's identity without requiring storage of any unique biometric information.

Furthermore, the solution does not need to link, write, or bind any unique information to an external device, smart card, or network of any kind. The solution's method is able to positively recognize and identify the biometric identity in real time without violating the user's privacy and without leaving any intrinsic traces. The company was founded in 2006 by Michael (Micha) Shafir and Ronen Blecher, both experienced entrepreneurs
from the network security devices industry. The company owns a revolutionary patented platform and method for Traceless
Biometrics Identification.

INNOVIA's BIdToken is not stored on any database, such as a bank, government, or any other systems. Instead, the user securely provides the BIdToken and thus maintains control over it. For example, a secured BIdToken can replace the PIN associated with an ATM card. Only the combination of physically possessing the ATM and Innovya's Biometric Identifier (BIdToken), permits the individual to make a transaction at the ATM machine. In this new situation when a PIN and/or PIN and card are shared with another individual or is stolen, the identity of the individual using the card can be determined, allowing only the true owner to use the card. The method for determining the BIdToken is kept secure and
therefore it is not possible to determine the non-unique BIdToken or its generation from the fingerprint or other unique biometric identifier by an unauthorized party (reverse engineering). However, a BIdToken can be replaced by another one and still be associated with the real biometrics owner. Innovya's solution neutralizes the obligation requirements for trust by third parties
