Voice Commerce Introduces Cloud-Based Voice Biometrics e-Commerce Platform

A June 15, 2010 item on infosecurity.com discusses the introduction of Voice Commerce’s cloud-based voice biometrics e-commerce platform.

According to the article, there are two components to the platform – retailer and consumer. The retailer system, known as
On4, “allows retailers to instantly set up and run their online business (e.g., stock control, shipping management, etc.), processing transactions using voice biometrics to authenticate/authorize their online and mobile-based electronic payments.” On4 is linked in to the Voice Commerce Payment system.

The consumer system, known as
VoicePay, “allows consumers to set up their own voice biometric (base voiceprint) as an authenticator for use over the phone or mobile phone. The idea is that, once a user has set up their authenticator, any VoicePay-enabled retailer can use the biometrics and authenticate the user by simply calling him or her (and comparing the sample voiceprint to the base voiceprint).”

You may recall that I
wrote about a similar mobile shopping application back in March. Let the games begin!
