# Biometric Signature ID

> Biometric Signature ID (BSI) is a Texas-based cybersecurity company that turns a short, hand-drawn password into a behavioral biometric. Its flagship BioSig-ID software verifies people by how they draw four characters with a finger or mouse - measuring speed, direction, angle, length and pressure - so no fingerprint reader, phone or extra hardware is needed. Used across higher education, financial services, healthcare, e-commerce and government, the technology fights account fraud, credential sharing and online-exam cheating while staying compliant with biometric-privacy laws.

- **BioProof-ID** — Identity proofing that combines dual-sided government ID document analysis with a real-time biometric selfie match to catch fake IDs, stolen identities and enrollment fraud before access is granted.
- **BioSight-ID / BioSightPlus-ID** — Privacy-sparing remote exam monitoring and continuous identity verification for online proctoring, integrated with learning platforms such as Canvas.
- **BioTect-ID** — Device access control that secures laptops and endpoints using the same drawn-biometric login, adopted in defense and enterprise settings.
- **FSA Fraud Prevention Tools** — Purpose-built tooling for higher education to detect financial-aid (FSA) fraud rings and confirm that enrolled students are real, unique individuals.
