Kansas-based PhoneFactor Inc. is adding voiceprint identification biometrics support to its two-factor authentication services.

"Steve Dispensa, chief technology officer of PhoneFactor, said voiceprint biometrics would be useful for additional verification for high risk transactions at banks, as well as within government agencies and healthcare firms concerned with providing access to systems containing highly sensitive data," writes SearchSecurity.com's Robert Westervelt.

"Once set up, users must vocally provide a passphrase that matches their voiceprint and then provide a traditional PIN to complete the authentication process."
