ANDOPEN, a leader in advanced biometric security solutions, achieved international recognition in April 2023 when our innovative face recognition technology earned the prestigious Silver Edison Award in the Safety and Security Solutions category.
Revolutionary Biometric Security Solution Receives Global Recognition
The Edison Awards, established in 1987 to honor the legacy of inventor Thomas Edison, represents one of the most esteemed invention accolades in the United States. Judged by over 3,000 experts across various industries, the award celebrates groundbreaking innovations that transform how we live and work. Previous recipients include visionaries like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and other pioneering technology leaders.
ANDOPEN’s award-winning technology addresses one of the most significant challenges in biometric security systems today: the risk of personal information leakage. Our decentralized face recognition solution distinguishes itself by storing biometric data directly on employee ID cards rather than on central servers or card readers.
Advancing Security While Protecting Privacy
“We’ve developed and marketed a face recognition solution that earned us a silver prize at the Edison Awards in the United States in April 2023,” noted Lee Jun-goo, CEO of ANDOPEN, when describing the company’s accomplishment. (read more)
What makes our solution truly revolutionary is its approach to both security and privacy. When a user presents their card to a reader, the system transfers the stored facial data to the reader, which then compares it with the user’s actual face to verify identity. This innovative process prevents unauthorized card use while eliminating the risk of personal information exposure that plagues conventional biometric systems that rely on centralized data storage.
Looking Forward
ANDOPEN continues to develop solutions that make biometric authentication more accessible and secure. Our vision extends beyond conventional applications, aiming to assist digitally disadvantaged populations with more accessible identification systems while eliminating dependence on physical cards.
As we celebrate this significant achievement, ANDOPEN remains committed to advancing biometric security solutions that protect privacy, prevent identity fraud, and create more secure environments for businesses and individuals worldwide.
