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.
Jeff Maynard
Jeff Maynard is the founder, president, and CEO of Biometric Signature ID, the Texas company behind BioSig-ID, a software-only biometric password that people draw with a finger or mouse instead of typing. He conceived the idea while running a publicly traded biometrics firm and funded its development for two years before launching the company with his wife Cindy in 2007. His gesture biometrics technology has been used tens of millions of times across 95 countries, holds multiple U.S. patents, and was selected by the White House to pilot the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.
ID.me
ID.me is a McLean, Virginia-based digital identity network that lets people prove who they are online once and reuse that verified credential across government agencies, healthcare portals, and retail discount programs. Founded in 2010 as a military discount site, it evolved into a NIST-certified identity wallet used by well over 150 million Americans, and it is one of the primary identity-verification vendors for U.S. federal agencies including the IRS, the VA, and the Social Security Administration.
