About BioconX, Inc.
BioconX, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn., develops network security software that applies biometrics, the technology of authenticating individual identity from unique personal characteristics, to replace passwords and safeguard computer system security. BioconX streamlines, simplifies, and strengthens access control. The software authenticates the identity of users by comparing their finger scan or the iris of their eye against all stored biometric templates. It then instantly enables users to immediately access all servers, and any application, for which they have authorization with one single, simple, and secure biometric sign-on. BioconX software is device independent and compatible with biometric technology, input devices, and hardware from Siemens, Sony Electronics, Iridian Technologies, BioLink Technologies International, Inc., and Key Source International.
