Me4Sure efficiently and effectively combats unauthorized access, fraud, and identity theft associated with Internet/Intranet-based transactions.

It provides individuals, financial institutions, businesses, governmental and nonprofit organizations, and Internet merchants with superior Internet authentication security.

Me4Sure is a biometric, cryptographically protected, portable USB drive. Unlike other security devices, Me4Sure features a secure, multifaceted, cryptographic communication process. The multi-layered authentication process ensures accurate, instantaneous verification and authentication of all authorized parties in every Internet-based transaction. Me4Sure protects individuals and organizations against impostors, hackers, spies, phishers, pharmers, and other forms of Internet intruders.

In addition to protecting Internet/Intranet transactions, Me4Sure can function like a standard USB storage device when configured with additional memory. Unlike other USB storage devices, Me4Sure protects access to the stored data with biometric technology. Only the enrolled user can access the stored data. Even if the user loses the Me4Sure device or someone steals it, the stored data is inaccessible and remains protected.

Encryption and Protection of Customer/User Identity

The Me4Sure solution provides the maximum in user protection by digitizing and encrypting the enrolled data/fingerprint(s) and by storing this information only in the Me4Sure device. Me4Sure does not use external programs, software, or hardware in the storage and encryption process.

The Me4Sure device and authentication process never exposes, transmits, transfers or exports the encrypted fingerprint data. The encrypted fingerprint data only verifies the user to that particular device.

Multi-level Authentication Process

Me4Sure uses a multi-level verification and authentication process to ensure that each user has connected to an authorized entity before any transaction can begin. The Authentication Gateway (AG) issues random challenges that prevent any replay of prior transactions. This ensures that each response corresponds with the current random challenge and not with one previously generated. The biometric authentication process activates Me4Sure , and the corresponding transaction verifies the enrolled user's identity and authorizes the required authentication or payment/transaction.

Using Me4Sure for Secure Internet Transactions

To use Me4Sure for a secured transaction, the user simply inserts Me4Sure into a USB port on any Internet-enabled PC. The user then places an enrolled finger on the biometric sensor panel.

Once Me4Sure validates the user's fingerprint, Me4Sure activates the cryptographic authentication process with the AG's database. Then, the AG, via a secured link to any compliant financial, commercial or government Web presence, issues a random, encrypted challenge to the Me4Sure device. The Me4Sure device then replies with a time-sensitive, encrypted response to the AG. The entire process takes less than two seconds.

It is this secure, encrypted ‘dialogue' that provides Me4Sure with a large competitive advantage over any other security authentication and transaction solution.

Deployment of the Me4Sure Solution

Deployment of the Me4Sure Solution requires little if any configuration changes to the client's IT infrastructure. This enables rollouts to occur in a matter of days, unlike other authentication platforms that usually take weeks or months. M4S' Professional Services Group can install either a Gateway Architecture or an Adjunct Server Architecture Model to fully conform to and comply with each organization's IT standards.
