Mobile, Facial Biometric & GPS-Enabled Lock
Ipsidy Inc. , a provider of an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platform and a suite of secure, mobile, biometric identity solutions available to any vertical, and Skypatrol LLC , a provider of innovative GPS-tracking and fleet-management software tools, announced the availability of the SkyOne lock, which incorporates mobile, biometric identity authentication services and GPS technology.
In a world of increasing fraud and security threats, it’s more important than ever to verify identity with speed and certainty. Ipsidy and Skypatrol are working together to bring the SkyOne lock to market. Skypatrol has built a reputation for developing innovative GPS-tracking and fleet-management software tools uniquely combined with its proprietary GPS hardware and software solutions to help businesses monitor, protect and optimize mobile assets. Ipsidy has integrated its Access credential management service and facial biometric authentication technology with both the SkyOne lock and Gurtam’s Wialon GPS tracking platform.

The SkyOne lock elevates the security level of locks used to protect valuable mobile and remote assets by tracking a lock’s location with the Gurtam Wialon platform and by using the power of facial biometrics to allow only authorized personnel to open a lock. Using the Ipsidy App, the authorized user takes a live selfie, which Ipsidy matches in real-time to the enrolled biometric.
The SkyOne lock fits on the back gate of most standard trucks and can also be used on remote warehouses or facilities, to ensure that a business controls who accesses their cargo or contents and knows when and where that happened. SkyOne lock solves these challenges by removing the need for keys, which can be lost, stolen and copied and instead by requiring biometric identity authentication to enter the facility or vehicle.
The SkyOne solution retains a digital record of who opened the lock and provides an audit trail with a ‘chain of custody’ record for when and where the lock was opened. Using the SkyOne solution, businesses can maintain a record of all access to valuable goods and assets, whether they are on the move or at a remote location. The SkyOne lock is a powerful tool that provides a higher level of transaction security, control and certainty for mobile and remote assets.
