G+D’s StarSign® Key Fob is a unique biometric, FIDO enabled security key. It is a crypto hardware token in a stylish shape, convenient to carry and easy to use. The integrated fingerprint sensor on the top of the device can be used to quickly confirm transactions by pressing a finger on the sensor surface. Equipped with FIDO standards, the Key Fob authenticates the user and removes the reliance on passwords by using the built-in biometrics combined with a tamper-proof Secure Element and a multi-channel interface.
The StarSign® Key Fob offers two-factor authentication ultimately in one device and tremendously improves the security for software, applications and sites, all while maintaining convenience and simplicity for users.
The encryption of the StarSign® Key Fob solution is strong enough to secure financial transactions too, complying with security legislation such as the EU’s PSD2 requirements. StarSign® allows users to easily replace password protection with the key fob (something they have) and the biometric fingerprint (something they are). This means that the balance can be kept between security and convenience. Also, in cases where there is a risk of outbreak or contamination, users remain protected as they only need to touch their own device.
The round shape of the StarSign® key fob in coin-like dimensions makes it very convenient to carry it on a key chain or neckband. The integrated fingerprint sensor placed on the top side of the device can be used to quickly switch on the device and confirm transaction by pressing a finger on the sensor surface. The USB C slot allows to charge the built-in battery.
